Something doesn't seem right about that article.All ive heard around is that he talked about the WCW Booker T promo.All just rumours off course.
Media always blow things out of proportion so i wouldn't believe everything you read right now.

Imo time really doesn't matter, the acts themselves do. Hulk said an inappropriate word/phrase but is otherwise relatively clean whereas Mike Tyson went to trial and was convicted of raping an 18 yr old woman and was sentenced to six years in prison followed by four years on probation
Is that all? Doesnt seem that bad. Everyone swears and are racist when it affects their lives directly. The guy was obviously pissed off with his daughter, plus this was done privately in his house, in his own bed. Not like he was doing it in public on a daily basis.
If hes not good with his words or just outright frustrated, then I dont see it as a real hate for the entire race.
Thats all I picked up from that link, Im not sure what you other guys think. I say keep going with the figure and release it. If he really hates other races, then dont work with storm cos they are chinese dudes.

Right now, at least in America, anything remotely to do with race and apparent racism is as bad as you can get. Look at everything from Rachel Dolezal to the South Carolina shooting that lead to the Confederate flag being taken down and outlawed.

I'm not comparing those things saying they are similar in how bad they are, just saying that its a hot topic right now.
That would be a total shame if Storm pulls the figure. In that case, screw the branding, release him as THUNDER LIPS.. ROCKY WINS!!! lol

Im saying i dont think they pull the plug. Theyre a much smaller company without the ties to a disney or other super heavyweight license. Theyre making good stuff but from a financial perspective i dont think they have the room to spend all this money and time only to scrap the figure before ever seeing a dime in profit.
Ive seen these guys, they arent the type to give a toss about these news. If Hulk is cool and ppl involved with the project are cool. Then the rest doesnt matter.
Not to defend anything he said, but it looks like this was said in confidence to a woman he was sleeping with, and it's very possible Hulk was drugged or drunk when he said it. As if Vince never said an incredibly offensive thing in the sanctity of his home, or around his buddies behind the scenes. Seems wrong for that to affect any public deal or relationship Hulk has one on level, but I realize that's just the way the world works. Lesson is--if you're a bigot, keep your mouth shut about it.

This is like Donald Sterling 2.0.
Wow...seems like HH isn't the only "a little racist" dude in this thread 
I am not getting on the holier than thou bandwagon, but once the cat is out of the bag, how can you really defend it? I doubt this will affect the figure sales cause the only color that matters is green. But it's really disturbing that anyone, including guys here, would really want to defend his comments and dismiss them as just a passing comment.
He said it in the most degrading manner one could possibly use it...like the guy was less than him on a human level. Being in the group who his diatribe was directed to, I find his comments very offensive and for me at least, I wouldn't buy it if he gave it to me.
Right is right and wrong is wrong. His comments were just wrong. As a celebrity, he's a target. He got caught saying some dumb ****, so now he should be willing to either commit to the courage of his convictions and declare his deep personal racist views famed be damned or submit to public pressure...either way the only color that matters is green and his figure will sell.
I'd bet the Chinese guys who made this aren't too concerned, the comments weren't directed toward them.

In a statement to People, Hogan has apologized for his comments, saying: "Eight years ago I used offensive language during a conversation. It was unacceptable for me to have used that offensive language; there is no excuse for it; and I apologize for having done it."
"This is not who I am," the statement continues. "I believe very strongly that every person in the world is important and should not be treated differently based on race, gender, orientation, religious beliefs or otherwise. I am disappointed with myself that I used language that is offensive and inconsistent with my own beliefs."
Hogan also issued a cryptic response on Twitter in the immediate wake of initial reports.
In the storm I release control,God and his Universe will sail me where he wants me to be,one love. HH

The transcripts of Hogan's sex tape likely stem from his ongoing lawsuit with Gawker, which published an excerpt of the tape in 2012. Hogan is suing Gawker for $100 million for allegedly invading his privacy by publishing it.

This. I can't see how anyone can defend HH for using such a shameful and insulting word, it's quite worrying tbh.
I'm not going to defend him but I'm also not going to let it change my view of him
Just like pro athletes, I'm a fan of what they do on the stage/field, the guy has probably done a ton of things that make me think he is a scumbag, but I'm don't care what they are
To me, he will always be hh, and he will always have wrestled for the wwf/wwe
Vince has said the N-word on screen!
Vince has said worse like he hoped "undertakes wife be raped by a motorcycle gang" poor hogan wrestling has gone to the pan since the old days.

Because they just gotta have this doll!
Everything related to him merchandise wise is gone from any official WWE sites. This will probably get canned.
