Wrestling Legend, Hulk Hogan wants
forgiveness for the racist remarks he made.
He
apologised following his shocking exit fromWWE, after
several outlets reported the existence of audio of the wrestler making racist
remarks, on Friday, July 24.
'Eight
years ago I used offensive language during a conversation," Hogan tells Us. "It was unacceptable
for me to have used that offensive language; there is no excuse for it; and I
apologize for having done it. I believe very strongly that every person in the
world is important and should not be treated differently based on race, gender,
orientation, religious beliefs or otherwise. I am disappointed with myself that
I used language that is offensive and inconsistent with my own beliefs. It is
not who I am. I continue to work every day to improve as a person, and this
matter is an important learning experience for me in that regard. As a result I
am resigning from my contractual relationship with the WWE.'
Hogan's lawyer David Houston also
said that they are currently investigating the leaked audio, and that the WWE
alum stepped down from his position on his own.
'Hulk
has apologized to all of his fans,' Houston says. 'And we can only ask for
forgiveness and understanding at this point.'
Alleged
audio and video of Hogan supposedly using racial slurs in a
2012 sex tape have apparently been obtained by RadarOnline and
the National
Enquirer.
Houston adds that
an investigation has been opened regarding the leaked audio, which is part of
an ongoing trial centered on his sex tape with Hogan's best friend's ex
wife, Heather Clem.
