Roddy Piper on Hulk Hogan: ‘Everybody needs to get a life’

Roddy Piper

Hulk Hogan has been in media headlines for less than a day, and Rowdy Roddy Piper is already sick of all the talk regarding his colleague.

Piper joined “The Rich Eisen Show” Friday and was asked about his thoughts on the controversy surrounding Hogan.

“My point is that, boy, you guys are sensitive. Hang on. I know people who have to get up to walk five miles for water first thing in the morning. I’m just saying this literally happens to me my whole life,” Piper told Eisen, via ProWrestling.net.

“With Hulkster, I don’t agree with all his choices, you know what, I don’t hear people saying all the great things he does. When he was on the Wheaties’ Box, all those kids that said their prayers and took their vitamins. I don’t hear them saying that. They just want to nail this. … I just think it is a little… I think everybody needs to get a life. I don’t think that anybody should just go to hurt your feelings for no reason.”

If what Hogan was caught on tape saying was not as bad as it is, then I might agree with Piper, but the transcripts are pretty horrible. Hogan was freely calling black people the N-word without much thought. Whether the conversation was said in private or not really doesn’t matter; that he feels that way about black people to begin with is a major issue and leads to him losing the benefit of the doubt.
