He said Hulk Hogan was rightly criticized for his racist comments over a decade ago but said he isn’t the only one who has used such words.

“I didn’t know that either about the N-word. I didn’t know about that. Everybody got on Hogan for saying what he said and, you know, ‘He’s a racist,’ and things like that. Yes, it was wrong. But believe me when I say it: He’s not the only one. Neither one of them are the only ones who use that word on a regular basis or have said things that were inappropriate when it came to other races of people,” he said.

The WWE Hall of Famer then dropped a bombshell, saying that he has personally heard many prominent figures in pro wrestling use the word.

“There are a lot of people in the wrestling business who have said things, and I’ve heard it personally. I’m not exposing or anything, but there are a lot more people—people who are very prominent figures in professional wrestling today—who have said that. And said it back in the ’80s and ’90s and even the millennium. They’ve said it, and they used it frequently because they didn’t think they were going to get caught,” he added.

D-Von Dudley accused Jim Ross of racism in WWE

Last year, speaking on Maven’s podcast, D-Von Dudley talked about facing racism in WWE from a well-known name.

Then, in an appearance on Duke Loves Rasslin, he revealed that he was referring to legendary commentator Jim Ross.

JR responded to these accusations, saying he was shocked to hear this and said that it doesn’t merit a response from him.
