Hulk Hogan may have won his lawsuit against Gawker, but one major piece of the sex tape trial is looking like it will haunt him for the rest of his life.
You may recall that back in July Hogan was all but erased from WWE history. Speculation was that it was partly due to the sex tape that had been released, but mostly it was because of an alleged racist tirade that was first reported on by the National Enquirer.
What they reported was awful and 100% explained why WWE wanted to distance themselves from their former Superstar.
However, now that the sex tape trial is over, Death and Taxes has obtained the unsealed audio recording of the sting operation from the FBI investigation and it is not good.
Here’s a transcript…
Hogan: I’m getting ready to cut some serious bait. [Inaudible] Brooke — my daughter, Brooke — [redacted], she jumped sides on me.
Heather Clem: Mmm-hmm.
Hogan: ‘Cause I shelled out two, three million bucks for her music, and [inaudible] I’ve done everything. Fucking with him day and night on the radio like a jackass, and he’s working with me to make…make work [inaudible] when [inaudible] really should call it a day and do the shit I did.
[Eight-second redaction]
Hogan: The son, he’s [inaudible] this black billionaire guy, Cecile. He basically did more for her in a year than anybody’s done. [Inaudible], he had one song, and after 10 months it should go to [inaudible] and [inaudible] and [inaudible]. [Inaudible sentence]. I try to be the realist, and ‘This is your option: You got a better option. [Redacted] said you can sign with [redacted].’ He’s gonna put 500 million behind [inaudible]. Right now there’s nothing else. We’re doing the best we can.
Clem: Right.
Hogan: So it gets to the point where…I dunno if Brooke was fucking the black guy’s son, or they’ve been hanging out. I caught them holding hands together on the tour. They were getting close to kind of [inaudible] the fucking [inaudible]. I’m not a double standard type of guy. I’m a racist to a point, y’know, fucking niggers, but then, when it comes to nice people and [redacted]
Clem: We all are that way.
Hogan: Yeah, cool, when it comes to nice people, you gotta…you can’t, you can’t say the…
[Two-second redaction]
Hogan: I don’t give a fuck if she [inaudible] [an eight foot tall?] basketball player.
Clem: [laughs]
Hogan: If we’re gonna fuck with niggers, let’s get a rich one!
Clem: [laughs]
Hogan: I don’t care if he’s a multi-billionaire. The thing is, now that you start doing these nasty emails…so somewhere, [inaudible] relationship, and now [inaudible] doesn’t want to talk to anybody, nanananana.”
You can listen to the actual audio over at Death and Taxes.
Needless to say, it appears that any chance Hulk Hogan might have had at rekindling his relationship with WWE after being victorious in the sex tape trial is pretty much now over.
