WWE PC talent posts message critical of Hulk Hogan tributes on social media

A recruit in the WWE PC is critical of the tributes to Hulk Hogan.

Jamar Hampton, who was on season one of WWE LFG and has been seen on WWE Evolve, posted a message on Instagram that has since been deleted questioning the tributes made across the world following Hogan’s death last Thursday from cardiac arrest at the age of 71.

“Is this really who we should be celebrating? Do ya research,” he wrote.

He then linked to a YouTube video (warning: language) featuring a transcript from Hulk Hogan’s leaked sex tape recorded in 2007 where he made racist statements including use of the n-word, and admitted that he was “a racist, to a point.” When the video became public in 2015, WWE cut ties with Hogan, though they eventually reconciled in 2018.

WWE paid tribute to Hogan on Raw, SmackDown, and NXT in the last week, each show opening with a ten-bell salute. Two videos also aired, one with narration by Triple H and another with the song ‘Ordinary’ by Alex Warren, both highlighting Hogan’s life and career.
