As noted, The National Enquirer released racial comments allegedly made by Hulk Hogan, and the website is claiming it will be releasing more comments made by Hogan very soon.
With regards to WWE finding out about the comments, MediaTakeout.com is claiming WWE heard the audio tapes last night, were “appalled” by the comments made Hogan, and began distancing themselves from Hogan as soon as possible.
Because tapes include Hogan talking to Heather Clem, with who he was involved in a sex tape scandal, the report notes the tapes were released as part of a deposition in the current lawsuit between Hogan and Gawker.
CM Punk appears to have referenced the entire situation as he Tweeted the following:
I never want to sleep because I’m afraid I’ll miss something, but I’m good right now. El oh el. G’night hilarious world. Stay cool.
