He's not Half Black but All Black: Booker T on Hogan Return

[R=G]

TMZ caught up to Booker T and asked him about a potential Hulk Hogan return to WWE. Booker T told the site that every man deserves a second chance and that he had a troubled past as well. He said Hogan made a mistake and if he is allowed to return, Booker will suport Hogan completely because Hogan supported him in WCW.

This came up like a weeks ago and I was surprised no one in the TsC reported it.
Also its funny cause I thought when the racist news came out, his comments were probably the most diplomatically tough on Hogan compared to other wrestlers (this side of Bret Hart)

Him saying this as a company man plus the fact that Curtis Axel is doing Axelmania again on house shows pretty much means they cooling off the ban gradually still and he'll probably pop up at Mania

How exactly what he said is a mistake?

Part of me actually wants to see Hogan return for the spectacle. How would the crowd react? Would he address the scandal in any way? Would he apologize again? Would it just be another Hulkamania return filled with cheers, like nothing happened? How would the media and the internet react?

I would still watch his return......even though I prefer Hogan retiring. Dude forever tainted his legacy with the racism (not that he had a clean personal life anyway, but that shyt was a next extreme for him). But at the same time everyone knows he's still one of the GOATs of the business. He has nothing left to prove. Just fade into the sunset, and hopefully try to be a better human being in the process......

-Booker laughed when he was asked about Michael Hayes and racism late in the conference call. He said Hayes thinks he's black. "I don't look at Michael as a racist myself," he said. "I've heard him use the N-word before... He's one of the people who can use the word around me because I know there's no malice behind it."

I don't support calling Booker T a tom because he has Hogan's back. If he never got that WCW shot, he could very well be dead or in prison. He was a real street nikka before he wrestled.

Hogan wasn't even in WCW when Booker signed



Dude is a clear tap dancer trying not to fukk up his money, more respectable ways to go about considering all the racism he openly discussed in his book that he faced growing up & in the business.

Ain't really much I can say at this point. Black wrestlers have no backbone when it comes to racism.

everyone deserves a 2nd chance....problem is, I don't see any need for Hogan in wrestling anymore.

What's he gonna do, be a Mick Foley type of role?

Hoegan already was coming out to crickets when they used him to plug the Network, he is worthless at this point.

Harlem Heat was there years before Hogan got to WCW

I understand the "everyone deserves a 2nd chance" argument, but some sh*t is just too damaging to come back from. If they bring Hogan's racist ass back, I'm definitely cancelling my WWE network subscription.
