Update:
We have received an official WWE statement which confirms Hulk Hogan has been fired:
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.
Radar Online have released a transcript of the conversation from the sex tape they are in possession of. Here’s an excerpt (contains strong language):
“I don’t know if Brooke was f*cking the black guy’s son,”
“I don’t have double standards. I mean, I am a racist, to a point, f*cking n*ggers. But then when it comes to nice people and sh*t, and whatever.”
“I mean, I’d rather if she was going to f*ck some n*gger, I’d rather have her marry an 8-foot-tall n*gger worth a hundred million dollars! Like a basketball player!
“I guess we’re all a little racist. Fucking n*gger.”
Original Story:
In what is an ongoing story, Hulk Hogan has been removed from WWE’s website. At 9pm PST the order was given to take all Hulk Hogans mentions off WWE.com, including merchandise on WWEShop & mentions on Tough Enough as a judge. All signs lead to him leaving/being removed from the company and in a collection of tweets, many sources are now trying to confirm his leaving;
WWE web site told a few hours ago to remove all references to him. That's all I know so far.

David Bixerspan, a freelance writer for Figure Four Weekly & FSM, and author of pretty much everything you need to know about the ongoing sex tape trail here, mentioned this in the latest edition;
If the “real secret” has to do with the allegation that Hogan used racial slurs and making various racist comments on one of the videos, then that was something reported years ago, long before the FBI lawsuit.
There is a RUMOR that an audio recording of Hogan spewing racial slurs is going around also, found here, and the National Enquirer claim they have it and are releasing the audio stating that many “insiders” have said “there’s no coming back from this.”.
Many other news outlets have run the story this morning here in Britain, such as The Mirror, The Express, Metro, The Guardian and even the BBC.
It appears that WWE are trying to remove every single mention of Hogan on their websites, shops, and affiliates before anything massive breaks today. While you can still find some things on WWE.com search for Hogan, many of the more obvious ones have been deleted such as his Superstar page, Tough Enough Judge Profile and even the removal of “AxelMania” mentions for Curtis Axel. While removing everything about him on the website is all well and good, you can’t really erase the past 30 years of Hulk Hogan in the WWE mainstream.
WWE Network footage, of course, will not be affected.
We’ll keep ontop of this news, as it breaks later today. Hulk Hogan only had this to say on Twitter;
In the storm I release control,God and his Universe will sail me where he wants me to be,one love. HH
