N Word Privileges cleanup; should be contrasted with those who have "the privilege" and those who don't. Not about just saying the n-wrord


* HoaxHogan: In 2015, after being eliminated from ''Wrestling/RoyalRumble'' before entering the ring, Axel received a lot of supports of fans and even fellow wrestlers. After that event, he created an angle of being "[[BlatantLies the real winner of Royal Rumble]]", since he wasn't eliminated of the fight, which leaded to his own trend as [[Website/{{Twitter}} #Axelmania]]. After [[HeelFaceTurn becoming face]], he continued the trend posing as Hulk Hogan, also making team with his friend Wrestling/DamienSandow (posing as "[[Wrestling/RandySavage Macho]] [[{{Expy}} Mandow]]") as "The {{Meta}} Powers" (parody of Wrestling/TheMegaPowers). Sadly this won't last so much since few months later the real Hogan was kicked out for "[[NWordPrivileges saying the n-word]]", ending with the Hogan/Savage expies.
