At last night's TNA Impact taping, Hulk Hogan used some verbiage that is quite questionable thanks in large part to the world conditions at the moment. Last night, Hogan announced that all the wrestlers wanted to be a part of his "tsunami" of wrestling. Unless anybody is living under a rock, right now with the crisis in Japan, this was not the word to use.
Hogan himself veered off the rails. This was not creative's fault, PWInsider.com reports. Creative did not have the word anywhere in the promo, but Hogan added it. Hogan posted the following on his Twitter (which you can follow at HulkHogan4Real),
"The tsunami of wrestling wasn't cool, it will never air;
it's already been cut, but when you're cuttin' promos old
school and not following the script like other robots
with no skills, sometimes you make mistakes.
I''m sorry, I was on a roll, and made a mistake. Nothing but
love and much respect for Japan, but you guys already know that.
I totally apologize. Keeping it real. HH4Life. Much respect, love for Japan. HH."
While I do want to say that I admire him for apologizing right away, why in the hell did he even say it to begin with knowing full well what's been going on? Also, did he really have to throw out the line about robots with no mic skills? Some guys in TNA may take that as a slight against him. I'm not even going to begin to comment about a guy Hogan's age saying stuff like "Keeping it real"...sigh. Thank God TNA decided after Victory Road that they don't need any more bad publicity and got this cut out.
