Dennis Rodman Defends Hulk Hogan on Racism Charges as Social Media Erupts Over WWE Ouster
WWE’s decision to completely disassociate itself from Hulk Hogan in the wake of revelations the wrestler used the N-word on multiple occasions is drawing a wide range of reactions online.
WWE superstar Mark Henry said he is “hurt and offended” by Hogan’s comments. However, former NBA player Dennis Rodman, who joined Hogan for a brief run in WCW in 1997, defended him in a tweet saying, “There isn’t a racist bone in that mans body.”

Big freaking deal if Hulk Hogan used a “bad word” to describe his daughter’s scumbag wanna be thug boyfriend. He shouldn’t apologize.
