WWE cuts ties with Hulk Hogan after racist tirade.

Apparently, there is audio of Hogan going on a racist tirade against The Rock. He called him the "N" word and "sambo" among others. WWE has wiped any mention of him from their website and he has been removed as a judge from Tough Enough.

Wow, this is huge new if true. The biggest icon in WWE history, black balled from the company.

They were actually talking about this on the radio today. It's actually made international news.

Looks like he's apologised -

According to this, the language was from the Bubba the Love Sponge's wife sex tape, but I don't see how it's taken so long to come to a head if that's true. :/

Not buying the apology at all. It seems this is the reason he was fighting so hard to keep Gawker's mouth shut, since this little snippet would have come along with the sex tape thing. Be cool and eat fruit.

Do to ongoing legal stuff, the case, and the contents of the video, was sealed until today for some reason.

When I saw Hogan trending, I thought he might have just had a bitch and a moan on Twitter pipe-bomb and style and left the WWE in a huff.

Credit to the WWE for responding to this very quickly and dealing with it severely. They had to. You can't let this sort of behaviour drag on in limbo and the fact he used the n word repeatedly suggests it wasn't a slip of the tongue.

There goes the WM32 main event then..

Always knew he was a cunt. I wonder if he'll still be going into the Celebrity Big Brother house after all this.

News to me on the latter. He'd fit in well in Celebrity Big Brother, with his racist inclinations considering the programme's previous participants.

He is/was rumoured to be one of the contestants, I only found out yesterday.

All he needs to do is die from cancer and all will be forgiven. He may even win a mother of the year award while he's at it.
