The last has not been heard of the derogatory comment
credit to the worldwide wrestling icon, Terry Bollea popularly known as Hulk Hogan.
The first official reaction to the racial comment the
retired wrestler was alleged to have made eight years ago on Friday was the termination of his contract with World Wrestling
Entertainment (WWE).
According to a statement by the organization
released on Friday morning 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.
Though WWE has not given an official reason for
the removal of his page from its website widespread rumour has rested it on
alleged racial comments.
Also, many wrestlers, old and young have reacted
swiftly to the derogatory video comments and contract termination by WWE through their Twitter accounts, some
were defending Hulk Hogan while many are equally condemning him.
Leading the attack team was Mark Henry who tweets:

Booker T. Huffman: I am shocked by the statements
made by Hulk Hogan. It's unfortunate, but that's something that he's going to
have to deal with.

I firmly believe he's a very good person who made a very bad mistake. Pulling
for you, brother!

Coach Punk: Waiting patiently for a Hogan/Cosby meme
to further shatter all our memories and innocence from the 80's.
Epsilon: Appropriate a culture, pilfer from its
dialect, profit wildly from it, and regard its people as subhuman. Makes sense.
Glenn Gilbertti: Worked with the guy for 7 years.
Never saw anything remotely close to racism from @HulkHogan.
Dennis Rodman: I've known @HulkHogan
for 25 years. Here he is hanging with Kylin in NJ. There isn't a racist bone in
that man’s body. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4yp83QFXPUw …
