WWE Removes Hulk Hogan From WWE Archives, No Longer Listed As Tough Enough Judge

2 min read

In the wake of Hulk’s controversial $100 million dollar lawsuit against Gawker, things are starting to get much stranger for the WWE Hall Of Famer. Earlier today, WWE has essentially scrubbed almost all mention of Hulk Hogan from their website, he’s no longer listed as a tough enough judge, and his merchandise has been pulled from WWEshop.com.

Early reports are indicating that this isn’t necessarily attached to his sex tape lawsuit. It instead appears to stem from a pretty heated tirade within the tape in which Hogan uses the ‘N’ word several times. This isn’t a new incident for Hogan, whose real name is Terry Bollea, as he mentioned in an interview with hip hop radio host DJ Whoo Kid. Hogan explained that during his time living in Miami, he would run into several rapper like The Game (ironic, eh?) and Lil Wayne who would call him the ‘N’ word, and he picked it up from there.

While there hasn’t been an official word on why Hogan is being scrubbed from history, one would have to assume that given WWE’s PG hero mentality as of late, this almost certainly was the cause. To make matters worse, Hogan himself posted a very cryptic tweet from his account this morning.

 

What do you guys think? Does this spell the end of the massive legend that is Hulk Hogan? Or do you think the WWE are simply distancing themselves from Hogan until this all blows over? Sound off in the comments below!
