Whether or not Hogan is a racist and I don't think he is, WWE were left with little other option in this matter coupled with as another poster pointed out, the sensitive climate surrounding race relations at the moment. The last thing WWE needs is a scandal involving race relations.
I know people have pointed out the hypocrisy of the whole Vince using the N word in an angle but as TPWW reported a spokesperson argued that was all part of a scripted storyline whereas Hogan's rant was very real.
However consider this; if they're going to erase all memory of Hogan based on a incident that took place almost 9 years ago and for which he has vehemently apologised then why induct the likes of Mike Tyson who lest we forget was convicted of rape?
If you go through every single personality associated with WWE over the years you'lll dig up plenty of dirt. It just seems that this was all too convenient for WWE who maybe (and this is just me speculating), maybe they were considering ditching Hogan for some time and this presented itself as a golden opportunity.
With TNA now scrubbing him from their website etc it appears no "legit" company is going to take him on. I hope we haven't seen the last of Hulk Hogan on a TV wrestling show.
