It was clearly scripted, but it was still uncalled for. Unless the rumored stuff surfaces, Hogan's use of it was unfortunate, but not as bad as described.

What Hogan said was still bad enough to get fired. If that's the only thing he said, then they shouldn't have given him the Benoit treatment.

As far as vince saying it, If you think that's uncalled for, then I guess you think actors in a movie shouldn't be using the word then.

Yeah you don't have to promote him and firing him was fine but removing him from the Hall is too much

Not to change the subject, but I've been going thru and watching all the Halloween Havocs on WWEN, as it is my favorite PPV theme. I wish WWE would bring it back.

But watching Halloween Havoc 1995, has there ever been a bigger cluster**** of a PPV? I can't think of one. This was legendary WCW bad even before WCW got so bad at the end. It's even worse than the Robocop incident. Let's look at all that was wrong with this:

-Randy Savage not only beats Brutus Beefcake who is the terrible Zodiac of the equally terrible Dungeon of Doom, but does so in a pointless squash match that sees a run in from a drunk fan who not only looks like a woman at first glance, but is detained by a referee way too long before actual security gets involved.

-Sabu legit breaks the leg of the Sheik in a spot with Jerry Lynn

-Mean Gene tries to give a prize to a guy not once but twice

-The Master and Taskmaster Kevin Sullivan (who is wearing inexplicibly ridiculous face paint) cut a 5 minute promo with rambling so nonsensical it makes the worst Bray Wyatt promos seem like Nobel Prize winning oratories.

-Ric Flair is announced as coming to the ring, but in an apparent gaffe, it is Sting that comes out of the curtain first

-They keep reiterating that the Giant is Andre's son. I wonder if Andre's estate gave their blessing in this?

-Hogan and the Giant have a sumo truck match - yes a sumo truck match - on the roof of a building. I can't even begin to try and explain this. After the conclusion of the match, they get out of their trucks and Hogan accidentally knocks the Giant off the roof of the building in a move that probably should've killed him.

-Upon defeating the Giant defeating Hogan via disqualification in the actual wresting match (altho it wasn't Hogan that did anything to get disqualified), the "Yetaayy" (who doesn't look like a Yeti but more like a mummy) shambles his way to the ring, and in a gay move that would make even Darren Young blush, double bear hugs Hogan with the Giant and proceeds to apparently hump Hogan in the can. Then, not knowing what else to do, he shambles around the ring some more.

Man, I don't know what to say. Whoever booked this show was clearly on drugs, and shared said drugs with whoever produced the show.

I've never watched Halloween Havok (although in 1995 I was 2 years old). Is this something that you would recommend watching?

The Yeti incident is right up there with the Shockmaster. It's worth finding on YouTube to see how hilariously bad it was.

Honestly? Some good matches, a Halloween theme, and historical points of interest. But as a whole, from what I've uncovered so far, these PPV are not worth watching. I guess thats why WWE never used it. Would seem like the perfect PPV to build around Taker or Finn Balor.

However 95 might be worth it, as GA said, just for how bad it is.

I think the Mr. Rushmore of hilariously bad wrestling gimmicks is Shockmaster, Yeti, El Gigante and Gobbledygooker.

I just watched the debut of the Shockmaster and that was the saddest thing I've ever seen in my life

Starrcade was where the best NWA/WCW action was, IMO.

Road Warriors, Rock n' Roll Express, Midnight Express....those guys tore it down in the Scaffold Matches.

Dusty Rhodes and an assortment of allies in steel cage matches against the Four Horsemen. Good times.

Magnum TA vs Tully Blanchard is the I quit match. My favorite match of all time! Those were the nest days of wrestling.

Here's another transcript of what Hulk Hogan said that was released:

“****ing n*gger… he had Jamie Foxx coming in on the 22nd track…”

“I didn’t even tell Brooke about it. ***** her. Brooke and (name withheld by Radar and The ENQUIRER) met in Miami.”

“Brooke *****s up a ten million dollar deal I had with the Saudis. Brooke says, ‘***** you dad.’ She’s never said that. She flipped a bird at me.”

“I have this huge *****ing house in Miami. My family never comes home. They went to LA. ***** ’em.”

Rose can actual wrestle and can look like a Wyatt. It's simple. After being dejected because he was ignored by WWE as a happy go lucky guy, Bray rescues Rose, brings backs his old persona of being a ruthless hunter, and gives him purpose.
