made no more prevalent then the NYPost giving him the professional athlete treatment, and inserting this snippet into the footer, much like a baseball player\u2019s statistics in any story that has nothing to do with sport:<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">WWE released Hogan from his contract in 2015 after audio from a sex tape revealed him uttering the n-word and saying he was \u201cracist, to a point.\u201d He apologized for his remarks.\u201c<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">I\u2019m not sure how any of that has anything to do with being a Good Samaritan and stopping at the scene of an accident, but in the grand spectrum of things, it was still pretty cool of Hulk Hogan to stop and give a degree of assistance, up for interpretation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">I think the funniest thing is that Hogan hogs the tagline, as if he himself did a completely selfless and heroic act, and that he and only he, lifted the vehicle with his 28\u201d pythons and the power of Hulkamania coursing through his veins, and rescued a damsel in distress.\u00a0 Obviously this isn\u2019t necessarily by any fault of Hogan himself, a rag like the Post knows what they have to do in order to draw page views.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">I have to imagine the actual reality is more along the lines of his friend, who supposedly is a veteran, along for the ride, sees the accident occur, and his protect instinct kicked in and he wanted to act.\u00a0 And Hogan, always the politician and puppeteer and his (third) wife probably immediately seeing an opportunity to soak up some positive press and get the Hogan name back out into the public eye didn\u2019t hesitate to be on board.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">But then you see the few photos of the scene, and it looks pretty clear that Hulk Hogan himself, in an nWo shirt no less, is just kind of standing around and watching.\u00a0 The friend, who looks younger and fitter, probably is the one who did all of the work, but solely by being the celebrity in the scene, Hulk Hogan gets to absorb the lion\u2019s share of the credit for the act of heroism.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">I\u2019m not going to shit on the Hulkster any more than this, but it\u2019s just funny how Hogan, whether he\u2019s trying to or not, still somehow manages to always stay relevant in some way shape or fashion, and this is a good example of it.\u00a0 All things considered, it was cool that he stopped at all, because I can\u2019t imagine that most people these days want to get involved, and are more apt to drive off and feign ignorance rather than help out.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>News: Hulk Hogan channels the power of Hulkamania, lifts wrecked car, rescues teenage driver, cures cancer while he\u2019s at it, completely by himself Reality: Hulk Hogan present at the scene of an accident while most likely his friend more than likely did the actual work of pulling a teenage driver out of a flipped vehicle &hellip;
