Hulk was very popular in the 80s and 90s. He fought many greats such as "Andre the Giant," "Randy 'Macho Man' Savage," "Brutus the Barber Beefcake," "The Ultimate Warrior," and "The Undertaker. His charisma, and moralist attitude advising the youth to 'take their vitamins and say their prayers' won him a huge fan base which came to be called "Hulkamaniacs." Well unfortunately, all that is over. "Hulk Hogan" was taped using some racist language. Because of this, WWE has terminated his contract and literally purged him from their websites, Hall of Fame and so forth. Like chef Paula Deen and actor Bill Cosby, Bollea now joins them in a big fall from grace. I will update this when I learn more.
Here is some reaction on Twitter:
In the storm I release control,God and his Universe will sail me where he wants me to be,one love. HH

As far as WWE is concerned, Hulkamania is dead: http://t.co/YkUMgSIEe5 This must be really bad if they're cutting ties before the storm.

I see Hulk Hogan is trending because he is a undercover racist. I see he blocked me on Twitter and I never said nothing bad about him. :-(

If this is the video where Hulk Hogan said the N word, then this was 3 years ago. Did he say it again? https://t.co/5WZ8YLAQFG
