Former face of WWE Hulk Hogan has been at the center of the wrestling universe over the past week, after transcripts of racially insensitive comments he made several years ago were leaked to the public. WWE immediately pulled out of its working relationship with Hogan, erasing any association with him from its website.
Now, it appears Hogan believes he knows the culprit of who leaked the comments.
More from TMZ:
In legal docs, filed in a Florida state court, Hogan claims the judge in his $100 million lawsuit deemed the n-word portion of the video “confidential” — and blocked all parties from making it public.
Now, as Hogan’s case against the media outlet is nearing trial, Hulk says he believes Gawker leaked the n-word story to ANOTHER media outlet last week because they knew it would make Hogan look bad and damage his case against them.
In the court docs, Hulk says if an investigation proves his suspicions — he wants anyone involved in leaking the story LOCKED UP … and he also wants the judge to automatically declare him the winner in the $100 million lawsuit.
In addition to the racial slurs, more comments from the video were released Tuesday. This time, they featured Hogan going on an anti-gay rant, using homophobic slurs in regards to the man who was the home owner of his childhood home that was featured on his old show “Hogan Knows Best.”
Hogan was replaced as judge on “WWE Tough Enough” by The Miz Tuesday, which will be a temporary change.
Editor’s Note
It’s feasible to think, and if true, he should win the case.
