Hulk Hogan Has Been Fired From the WWE and Will Not Appear in WWE 2K16


The WWE has terminated Hulk Hogan and erased all records of his existence on their website, following leaked audio of a racial tirade he had 8 years ago.

2K Sports has confirmed with Polygon that he will not appear in WWE 2K16.

Quote:
Hogan will not appear in WWE 2K16, a 2K Sports representative told Polygon this afternoon.

"We are highly respectful of the way that our partners choose to run their business and manage our partnerships accordingly," the spokesperson said. "We can confirm that Hulk Hogan will not appear in WWE 2K16."

Asked about whether 2K Sports plans to remove Hogan from any previous WWE video games, the representative called it a "fair question," but said 2K Sports has "no other comments at this time.

Yeah, no. That's a lawsuit waiting to happen, especially since he was paid DLC in 2K15.

What he did was wrong I will say that, but COMPLETELY taking him away from what he built is just insane...he's being treated like Chris Benoit right now, if it wasn't for him and other greats the wwf wouldn't have become wwe.

I don't even watch WWE these days. I hadn't bought a wrestling game in years. Only reason I bought WWE 2k15 is because Hogan And Sting are in it. They better not take Hogan out of MY game that I paid for! The whole thing is utterly ridiculous...it was 8 years ago!

He's been Benoited. Hopefully there weren't any modes built around him and content has to be taken out because of it other than his model.

This is not a test.

I don't condone with what he said but I think it's a bit much & a knee jerk reaction. A heartfelt apology & enter a behavioral program would be a step in the right direction to make amends. If the WWE found out other wrestlers past indiscretions there probably would be alot of terminations.

I think they overracted by quite a bit, but they are a public traded company, so I understand the extreme punishment. I just don't believe this will help reform Hogan one bit. Sad and unfortunate situation, TBH.
