WWE Responds To Hypocrisy Claims Over Vince McMahon’s Promo

After the recent fallout of WWE’s firing/separation from Hulk Hogan after transcripts of his racist rant were released yesterday, WWE has responded to claims of hypocrisy because of the lack of outrage when Vince McMahon used a racial slur on TV. Some fans will note that in 2005, Vince McMahon appeared on WWE SmackDown and actually used the N-word in a scripted backstage video when speaking to John Cena, and he said the word in front of current WWE Hall of Famer Booker T.

TMZ has spoken to a WWE representative regarding the 2005 segment where McMahon uses the N-word. According to the WWE rep, the 2005 segment “was an outlandish and satirical skit involving fictional characters, similar to that of many scripted television shows and movies.” Basically what WWE is saying is that there is a big difference between storyline angles and what Hulk Hogan did. This is just my personal opinion but WWE is absolutely correct on this one as Hogan’s racist rant wasn’t at all scripted while WWE’s clearly was.

In addition, the report claims that Hogan is “outraged” with McMahon for condemning him for using the same epithet in private that McMahon spoke on TV in premeditated fashion.
