For at least the next 2 weeks, ROH will NOT be airing in it's usual 8 PM time slot. No word on this being permanent, but it doesn't take an expert to figure out this does not bode well for ROH on Destination America...
Really wish Sinclair would invest some cash into an ROH Roku channel and be done with this nonsense of trying to obtain and then maintain a television deal.

I wonder if something else happened that WWE is not talking about. Even if WWe is trying to be PG, I can't see them removing and chance to make $ off of Hogan's name because of some comments he made. Suspending him, yes. Fining him, possibly. But to stop selling his merchandise and remove his face from everything? Either he was no longer making a dime for the WWE (which I find unlikely), or something really Really bad happened behind closed doors, and that's why he was released. What happened is Vince is a coward who lives in fear of network executives, sponsors & stockholders. If he really had the "grapefruits" he claims to, he would have fined and or suspended Hogan, just like Roger Goodell deals with HIS bad boys. You didn't see Riley Cooper's deal terminated, right?

What sucks even more is I am one of those postal people! Not to jump on my soapbox, but this is what happens when you cut service standards.

As ALWAYS did not get my order yet, despite living in the same state they are mailed from...do I really have to lay out the money for express mail just to receive my cards when everyone else does? Been happening a lot lately & starting to get very frustrating.

We can add Jimmy Uso, Wade Barrett, The Big Show, Jack Swagger & William Regal to the list of criminals currently employed by WWE and as far as Hall Of famers, can't forget the escapades of Kevin Nash, Scott Hall, Ric Flair & Arnold Schwarzenegger either!

Now there is talk of taking Hogan out of the Hall of Fame Let's see: Steve Austin - domestic abuse; WWE 2K16 poster boy and Hall of Famer Mike Tyson - convicted rapist; WWE Hall of Famer Jimmy Snuka - in all likely hood, killed a woman; WWE Hall of Famer Booker T - convicted felon from armed robberies; WWE Hall of Famer All of these things are considerably worse than any words spoken by Hogan, especially in the privacy of a home. This is ridiculous...and I'm not even a freaking Hogan fan. And let's not forget the past discretions / misadventures of current WWE employees, either... Randy Orton-drug abuser & all around asshole Emma-shoplifter Seth Rollins-infidelity & indecent exposure And those are just the few I can think of. I'm no big fan of Hogan either, but this is beyond ridiculous, it's ludicrous. Along with hypocritical and self-righteous. And Booker T. can shove his comments up his ass. It's ok for him to not only use the word, describing Hogan no less, but then years later, take part in a "skit" where the word (I don't differentiate between "a" & "er"- inappropriate is inappropriate in my book) is used again and now he has an issue? Racial slurs are racial slurs no matter who says them, sucka!

Not for nothing, but all references to me have also been removed from wwe.com. It's possible that this public distancing of themselves from Hogan is just WWE giving itself and its shareholders a layer of protection in preparation for what promises to be a very ugly court battle between Hogan and Gawker Media. Don't think so...apparently it's due to Hogan's use of the "n" word, which is more hypocritical than usual for WWE, as Vince once called Cena that...on television!

Whatever it is has to be pretty damn bad for WWE NOT to want to make money off of Hogan's merchandise!
