The WWE is preemptively cutting ties with Hulk Hogan after a rumored racial tirade caught on audio or video tape according to Complex. Hogan in an interview apparently called The Rock the N-word.
The WWE removed Hulk Hogan’s WWE page, Hall of Fame page, and merchandise from their website. Hogan is also no longer listed as a judge for WWE Tough Enough.
I haven't gotten confirmed audio yet, but the transcripts that I've seen have Hogan calling The Rock the "N-word" and "sambo" among others.
