Hulk Hogan’s Five Biggest Career Blunders

WWE.com

#2 – “It was unacceptable for me to have used that offensive language.”

What? You thought this would be #1? I’ll give my reasoning in the next slide.

With the media still in Salem witch trial mode, Hogan’s rant is currently worse than ISIS. The WWE already knew about his sex tape before they fired him, however, WWE is now uber-PG and uber-PC. There is nothing wrong with that, but you can call their wiping Hogan from their Internet memory a bit excessive.

Hulkster has already cut the perfect promo/apology to People Magazine, but if anything, he did it too soon. The public is still on their pedestal. Forgiveness takes about 72-96 hours. Hopefully, Hogan returns to WWE soon, but if there are five stages of grief, there must also be five stages of repairing your public image.

Was Hogan’s rant offensive? Absolutely!

Was former LA Clippers owner Donald Sterling’s remarks shocking? Without a doubt!

The difference: past actions.

Donald Sterling had a history of being prejudice and elitist. Outside of Hogan’s rant from eight years ago, he always set a great example for kids and adults in all walks of life. Hogan has done too much good to be crucified. Why not just rip the cross off his neck in Piper’s Pit while you’re at it.

Even Virgil gets it!

The lesson: never say anything offensive out loud. Keep a journal instead, brother!
