According to The National Enquirer, more racist comments are reportedly set to surface from Hulk Hogan, who was terminated from all things WWE on July 23. WWE removed Hogan from their official wesbite, as well as his merchandise from WWEShop.com. Through their termination of his contract, he will no longer be a judge on WWE “Tough Enough” as well.
We previously noted that Gawker had won their case against the Federal Bureau of Investigation in order to re-obtain a copy of the tape to use in court. With that victory won, Gawker was allowed to issue the tape into question as evidence.
Upon others hearing and seeing the content of the tape, which is undoubtedly set to make its way online soon, WWE obtained a copy and watched it on the evening of July 23. Officials promptly terminated their contract with Hogan immediately, leaving no room for doubt that something really bad for WWE Public Relations existed on the tape.
The National Enquirer then posted some of the dialogue from the tape on their website on July 24, which saw Hogan use the “N-word” multiple times, as well as statements where he admitted to being racist. According to the “news” outlet, they have more racial material from Hogan’s tape that they will likely release later.
