When Vince McMahon dropped the N-Word on John Cena in misguided 2005 skit, WWE fans react

After WWE CEO Vince McMahon fired Hulk Hogan in 2015 for using the N-word in a private video, fans were quick to point out that he himself used the word ten years ago on WWE TV. During a segment at the Survivor Series 2005 PPV, Vince McMahon said the N-word to John Cena in front of Booker T and Sharmell, leaving them stunned. When Hulk Hogan heard about the incident, he criticised Vince McMahon’s judgment. The WWE Universe, on the other hand, called Vince McMahon a hypocrite and advised him to bring Hulk Hogan back. However, WWE later released a statement saying that there was a big difference between the two incidents. A WWE spokesperson told TMZ that everyone recognizes what Vince McMahon did “was an outlandish and satirical skit involving fictional characters, similar to that of many scripted television shows and movies.” WWE also claimed that Vince McMahon consulted both Booker T and Sharmell before they shot the segment. Hulk Hogan, on the other hand, used the word in public.
