Hulk Hogan fired from WWE after racist recording emerge...

World champion wrestler Hulk Hogan finally may have met an opponent he can’t beat: his own mouth.
World Wrestling Entertainment has dropped the star from its organization, it said in a statement released Friday morning.

"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"

Though the organization did not offer an exact reason for Hogan’s dismissal or for scrubbing its website of his presence, the termination comes after a few instances of the wrestler using racist language have come to light.

One, the Daily Beast reports, is a 2012 radio interview in which Hogan defends his use of the n-word, saying that he started saying it casually when he lived in Miami and was part of a social scene that included rappers Lil Wayne and Birdman.
“…They’re all calling me ‘n–a,’ and then I started sayin’ it,” Hogan says in the interview. “And I always said it, but now all of a sudden I get heat when I say it, and they say, ‘Hogan, you can’t say that,’ so I say, ‘Why can they say it to me then?'”
