WWE Fires Hulk Hogan After Racist ‘N-Word’ Rant On Tape Revealed
Hulk Hogan is no longer a part of the WWE, after a leaked sex tape revealed a reportedly horrific racist rant.
Wrestling entertainer Hulk Hogan, a star since the 1980’s has been fired from the WWE, according to reports at National Enquirer and TMZ. The 61-year old has been embattled in a $100 million legal case against Gawker surrounding the publication of an unauthorized sex tape. The Enquirer reports that “sordid pillow talk caught on an unauthorized sex tape includes a revolting conversation in which the pro wrestling icon unleashed a filthy bigoted attack, littered with the N-word and other disgusting racial insults.” It’s not known if that is from the sex tape that is part of the court case.Â
“Despite his TV image as a born-again Christian, the tapes prove that Hulk is a very different man off camera!,” the Enquirer reports.
At that point on the tape, the former “Hogan Knows Best†star bemoaned how a “black billionaire guy” had offered to fund her music career.
He also attempts to use bizarre, twisted logic in an attempt to justify his bigotry at the man.
“I don’t know if Brooke was f*cking the black guy’s son,” Hulk raved, the sources add.
“I mean, I don’t have double standards. I mean, I am a racist, to a point, f*cking n*ggers. But then when it comes to nice people and sh*t, and whatever.”
Then, in a tirade to rival the racism embarrassments suffered by Mel Gibson and “Dog The Bounty Hunter,” Hulk unloaded even more hatred!
According to sources, he said: “I mean, I’d rather if she was going to f*ck some n*gger, I’d rather have her marry an 8-foot-tall n*gger worth a hundred million dollars! Like a basketball player!
“I guess we’re all a little racist. Fucking n*gger.”
The WWE immediately cut ties with Hogan, whose real name is Terry Gene Bollea, including erasing him from their website.
Hogan has not commented, except for this tweet:
In the storm I release control,God and his Universe will sail me where he wants me to be,one love. HH
