Production staffer Moses Williams spoke of a number of issues in his deposition"Vince Russo indicated his racial bias by specifically referring to African-Americans as the 'blacks' or 'the brothers.'"Russo "went out of his way not to do anything special for Black wrestlers or non-White wrestlers and focused his attention on Caucasians."

"In one particular match, Vince Russo wanted Jeff Jarrett, a Caucasian wrestler, to hit African-American wrestler Booker T over the head, hit Booker T's wife and then put a noose around Booker T, as if he were going to hang him."Vince Russo stated that "'Whites' rule wrestling." and "Black folks don't buy wrestling tickets anyway, wrestling fans are White."

"In response to questions about the future of Booker T, an African-American wrestler, Russo stated, 'if I say we're going to have a White champion, we'll have a White champion and you will know we'll have a Black champion when I say we're going to have one and not before then."

- As noted, Hulk Hogan appeared on Huffington Post Live yesterday to promote WrestleMania XXX. Here are some highlights:

* He talked about how Triple H saw him at a Toys R Us charity event in New York City a few years ago. Triple H came up to him and asked, "When are you coming home?" Hogan didn't think Vince McMahon wanted him back but Triple H told him that Vince wanted him home. Hogan noted that TNA public relations worker Mike Weber was standing next to him when Triple H made those comments.

- WWE is inducting the Razor Ramon character instead of Scott Hall himself because they can always induct Hall at a later date with Kevin Nash as The Outsiders or with the nWo as a group. Another reason for Razor's induction is that Vince McMahon has always been proud of that character.

On the latest edition of The Wrestling Observer Radio, which you can listen to here (subscription required), Dave Meltzer noted that the goal for next year's WWE Hall of Fame is for Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson to be inducted.
Meltzer was asked if Scott Hall was being inducted as Razor Ramon so that he could be inducted next year by his real name with Hulk Hogan and Kevin Nash as the nWo. Meltzer doubted it, calling it "overkill," and noted that he doesn't think that the nWo would want to play second fiddle to Rock if Rock were to agree to be inducted. #TNYCD

Spoiler

NWO should headline a class

IndyWeek.com has an interview with Kofi Kingston, who was promoting this Friday night's WWE live event at PNC Arena in Raleigh, NC. During the interview, Kofi discussed racism in wrestling and noted that things are much better now.
"People always say, 'Oh, there haven't been many black champions,' but on the other hand, there are a whole lot of white people that never won a belt either," he said. "These days, I think it's less of a racial thing. I honestly believe that if you are able to entertain and interact with the crowd, it doesn't matter what ethnicity you may be. [WWE] will reward you."
