As fans mourned the WWE Hall of Famer, Wonderwall.com couldn't help but remember that his time in the spotlight wasn't all rainbows and butterflies... In 2015, the WWE fired the wrestling superstar after becoming aware of the existence of old recordings of him making racist remarks. "WWE is committed to embracing and celebrating individuals from all backgrounds as demonstrated by the diversity of our employees, performers and fans worldwide," the organization said in a statement.
