Hogan Goes on Racist Rant
{Spoiler}{Spoiler}
UPDATE: The WWE acted swiftly in the wake of The National ENQUIRER's explosive report – FIRING Hulk Hogan! In a statement to The ENQUIRER, The WWE said: "WWE terminated its contract with Terry Bollea (aka Hulk Hogan). WWE is committed to embracing and celebrating individuals from all backgrounds as demonstrated by the diversity of our employees, performers and fans worldwide."
Hulk Hogan has been captured on tape spewing foul-mouthed racial slurs – including the N-word.
In a shocking world exclusive, The National ENQUIRER and RadarOnline.com – in a joint investigation – has learned 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.
The star of the WWE – whose real name is Terry Bollea – directed his vulgar and prejudiced hatred at his daughter Brooke, who he accused of sleeping with a black man.
Using language so hate-filled and vile it would shock even his most ardent fans, Hulk brazenly blustered to Heather Clem – the wife of his former pal Bubba “The Love Sponge,” with whom he was covertly filmed having sex with in 2012 – that he was an unabashed “racist."
"I guess we’re all a little racist," he crowed on the tape, multiple sources have confirmed exclusively to The ENQUIRER.
Despite his TV image as a born-again Christian, the tapes prove that Hulk is a very different man off camera!
In a startling exchange, the 61-year-old told Clem – who he sued for invasion of privacy after their XXX tape was leaked to a website – about his frustrations with blonde bombshell Brooke, 27.
"She is making some real bad decisions now," Hulk said, sources tell us. "My daughter Brooke jumped sides on me. I spent $2-3 million on her music career, I’ve done everything like a jackass for her.”
The bitter bodybuilder continued, "The one option Brooke had, Brooke’s career besides me, is [to] sell beach records."
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***ing 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***ing n*****s. 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*** some n*****, I’d rather have her marry an 8-foot-tall n***** worth a hundred million dollars! Like a basketball player!
"I guess we’re all a little racist. F***ing n*****."
Radar and The ENQUIRER has learned explosive transcripts of the loathsome conversation have been filed in a Florida court, under seal, in a bid to prevent them from being publicly released.
But an extensive news probe uncovered five independent sources who provided the dramatic contents of the tape to this publication.
Hulk did not return a request for comment.

WWE Terminates Its Contract with Terry Bollea
{Spoiler}{Spoiler}
WWE terminated its contract with Terry Bollea (aka Hulk Hogan). WWE is committed to embracing and celebrating individuals from all backgrounds as demonstrated by the diversity of our employees, performers and fans worldwide.
Hogan Apology
{Spoiler}{Spoiler}
Hulk Hogan is speaking out about a just-released audio transcript that features him making racist slurs about his daughter Brooke's love life.
"Eight years ago I used offensive language during a conversation. It was unacceptable for me to have used that offensive language; there is no excuse for it; and I apologize for having done it," Hogan said in a statement exclusively to PEOPLE. The transcript featuring that conversation was published online by the National Enquirer.
"This is not who I am. I believe very strongly that every person in the world is important and should not be treated differently based on race, gender, orientation, religious beliefs or otherwise," Hogan told PEOPLE. "I am disappointed with myself that I used language that is offensive and inconsistent with my own beliefs."
Hogan was scrubbed from the WWE's website on Friday morning, with no videos or photos of the famed wrestler remaining. He was also removed from the online Hall of Fame. His lawyer David Houston confirmed to PEOPLE that he's officially resigned from the organization.
"He decided to resign from WWE because he didn't want to put them or his family through this," Houston told PEOPLE.
WWE, however, maintains that Hogan was fired: "WWE terminated its contract with Terry Bollea (a.k.a. Hulk Hogan). WWE is committed to embracing and celebrating individuals from all backgrounds as demonstrated by the diversity of our employees, performers and fans worldwide."
Hogan told PEOPLE he will use the situation to "improve as a person" and that he takes the matter as an "important learning experience."
A transcript of the audio shows the wrestler repeatedly using the n-word in reference to his daughter Brooke Hogan's dating life.
Hogan was already enmeshed in legal drama when news of the transcript leaked. The Florida trial for his high-profile lawsuit against gossip site Gawker was recently delayed until at least the fall. The star's legal team filed a $100 million lawsuit against the site after its 2012 posting of video from a sex tape, made in 2008, featuring Hogan. The video was later removed from the site

Hogan Jail Tapes Reveal More Racism

Local News Reveals More Racially Charged Comments Made by Hulk Hogan
By Marc Middleton
Jul 30, 2015 - 1:31:04 AM
- Bay News 9 in Tampa has released more controversial comments made by Hulk Hogan, this time during a jail phone call to his son Nick in May of 2008. These comments happened about one year after the sex tape quotes released by The National Enquirer earlier this month.
At the time, the Pinellas County Sheriff's Office released nearly two weeks worth of jail phone calls. Bay News 9 recently went back and listened to more of those calls and found the comments that have never been heard until now. Nick was in jail serving an 8 month sentence for the car crash that left his friend John Graziano permanently disabled.
Hogan calls his son the "n" word and Nick does not repeat that exact word. Their exchange went like this:
Hulk: "You and me been sitting on some serious phone, phone dialogue here n----."
Nick: "Yeah, nibb-ah."
Hulk: "N----, n----, that means, that means you (are) my best friend."
In another phone call, Hogan talks about God and re-incarnation:
"You know that God gave you this vibe and this, this, energy that you and I are going to live forever, bro. I just hope we don't come back as a couple, I don't want to say it, blizz-ack gizz-uys, you know what I'm saying?"
"Brutal," Nick responded after they laughed.
Hogan also talked to his son about possibly being transferred from the adult jail to a juvenile facility:
“It’s down in St. Pete and it's mixed-race and we get along with everybody, so that's fine."
Hulk said: "Your mom went there and said it was mainly blizz, you know what I'm sizz-aying?"
"Mm-hm," Nick replied.
Hulk continued: "And that some of the ladies there that, you know, run the school are nice blizz lizz-adies, you know?"
"Mm-hm.... I would go down there, I would make friends with all those kids down there," said Nick. "I guarantee it. Because you know how all the blizz pizz love us."

More from Sex Tape Reveals Gay Slurs and more N-Word Use
{Spoiler}{Spoiler}
The National Enquirer (via Radar Online) has revealed that black people weren’t the only targets of Hulk Hogan’s rant, as he also used a gay slur in the video. In the video, he’s talking about his VH1 reality show Hogan Knows Best with sex tape partner Heather Clem (wife of Bubba “The Love Sponge” Clem). He brings up an episode from October 2007 in which he goes to his childhood home (where he was raised by parents Peter and Ruth Bollea) in Port Tampa only to find a gay man living there. The man was hospitible and even gave Hogan a small metal truck that belonged to Hogan when he was a kid. The man found it in the garden when he moved in.
Hogan said on the tape: “VH1 wanted me to do a big thing and go back to the house I grew up in. So we knock on the door and a big f*g lives there now! This half-gay was enamored with Linda.”
At one point, Bubba walks in and Hogan tells him: “Dude, the only thing I will ever ask of you … I don’t know how you will pull this off … is, if I am ever on my death bed, you cannot let Linda come and visit me.”
Bubba and Heather then give Hogan a thank you card for going to their wedding. Linda had yet to file for divorce at the time of the recording but Hogan seemed to think it was over. He also brings up his home in Las Vegas, which he bought for $4.25 million. At the time it was worth $5 million. He said that SoBe Entertainment’s Cecile Barker (the man believed to be the “black billionaire” he ranted about) could buy the home if he lost it in the divorce.
He complained: “If I get divorced, Linda will make me sell it. F**k it. Cecile will buy it and give it back to me after the divorce!”
Finally, Bubba gives Hogan a pair of inscribed “Hulk Hogan” Oakley sunglasses. At that point Bubba said to Hulk: “Who’s your n****? I have something for you. Who’s your n****?“
