In a developing situation, it appears as if WWE Hall of Famer and current Tough Enough judge Hulk Hogan has parted way with the company. The reason stems from rumors of a tape existing featuring Hogan allegedly going on a racial tirade.
Hulk Hogan's profile has been removed from the Alumni section of WWE's website, all of his merchandise has been removed from WWEShop.com, and Hogan has been removed from the cast listing on Tough Enough's website. Dave Meltzer of Wrestling Observer noted that the WWE Website was told to remove all references to him.
In addition to this, Curtis Axel, who has been playing a parody of Hogan in recent months, had his profile photo switched from the parody character to his normal persona. You can see his profile at this link.
Hogan returned to the WWE in 2014, after over six years away from the company.
Hogan tweeted the following early Friday morning:
In the storm I release control,? and his Universe will sail me where he wants me to be,one love. HH

Bryan Alvarez mentioned on today's installment of Wrestling Observer Live that WWE offered Patrick Clark a developmental deal with the company after being voted off of this season's show Tuesday night.
Alvarez noted that Patrick actually ended up turned down the deal becauseHe couldn't afford to relocate. Damn phone, smh
Patrick refuted this on twitter already and basically said he wasn't offered anything afterwards. -

Investigation Uncovers Hulk Hogan Unleashing Racist Tirade
July 24, 2015 By Richard Gray
Brooks reported here on WrestlingNewsWorld.com that WWE pulled all references to Hulk Hogan from their official website and no longer listed him as a judge for Tough Enough.
The move is in response to a joint investigation by two gossip publications – the National Enquirer and RadarOnline.com. As part of the investigation, the publications uncovered a “filthy bigoted attack, littered with the N-word and other disgusting racial insults” that was included on the unauthorized sex tape he made with Heath Clem — the wife of Bubba “The Love Sponge”.

Every racist white guys fear, their daughter getting ? by a black guy.
I need a legit source instead of the damn National Enquirer to report this -

I can see why WWE/Vince is distancing themselves from Hogan because he's an idiot and it seems to be a liability. Although, I do find it ironic given WWE's track record when it comes to racism/stereotypes. It's damn near close to calling the kettle black if it isn't already. I can't really say I'm surprised with Hogan because after that reality show he started exposing his true colors with the car crash his son was involved in, then TMZ exposed his restaurant, the welfare statements etc., It's amazing how you find out what ? these wrestlers are in real life. Crazy that Hogan was the reason I started watching wrestling. WWE giving Hogan that "Benoit treatment" dude losing $$$ because he opened his mouth. Don't be surprised if Hogan is removed from WWE 2K16 either since they are removing everything Hogan related from wwe.com. -
Cm punks twitter:
Booker told him he was coming for him. Well he finally got 'em

Investigation Uncovers Hulk Hogan Unleashing Racist Tirade
July 24, 2015 By Richard Gray
Brooks reported here on WrestlingNewsWorld.com that WWE pulled all references to Hulk Hogan from their official website and no longer listed him as a judge for Tough Enough.
The move is in response to a joint investigation by two gossip publications – the National Enquirer and RadarOnline.com. As part of the investigation, the publications uncovered a “filthy bigoted attack, littered with the N-word and other disgusting racial insults” that was included on the unauthorized sex tape he made with Heath Clem — the wife of Bubba “The Love Sponge”.
According to the National Enquirer’s report, Hogan’s tirade was aimed at his daughter Brooke, who he reportedly accused of sleeping with a black man, in comments made to Clem.
Below are quotes from the National Enquirer report:
“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 ? 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*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. F*cking n*gger.”

The WWE is cutting all ties with wrestling legend Hulk Hogan ... after finding out about him angrily using the n-word to describe someone who was dating his daughter.
A WWE rep tells us they fired Hogan after getting a transcript of comments made on his sex tape. Hogan is in the middle of a lawsuit over the tape ... and the n-word remarks are expected to come out once the trial begins later this year. The WWE says it investigated to make sure Hogan had really said what they read in the transcript ... and then pulled the trigger, terminating his contract.
TMZ has seen the tape ... and on it, Hogan is discussing his daughter Brooke's music career. He repeatedly used the n-word while talking about an African-American guy she was dating.
Hogan's attorney tells TMZ ... Hulk claims he was NOT fired, and actually resigned from the WWE late Thursday night.
