TNA Pulls Hulk Hogan, Big E Tweets On Hogan's Racist Comments?, Hogan TMZ Notes, Mick Foley
- TMZ says they have seen the tape with Hulk Hogan's racist comments made to Heather Clem that Radar Online and The National Enquirer revealed earlier this morning. Hogan's attorney David Houston also told TMZ that Hogan resigned from WWE late Thursday, which goes against WWE's statement saying they terminated his contract. Houston made the same claim to People Magazine this morning.
- TNA has removed Hogan from their Alumni roster and pulled his merchandise from the Shop TNA website. Everything was still up earlier this morning when The National Enquirer's story first broke, including their new "Best Of" DVD on Hogan.
- Big E tweeted the following today, apparently referencing Hulk Hogan's racist comments:
Appropriate a culture, pilfer from its dialect, profit wildly from it, and regard its people as subhuman. Makes sense...

- We noted earlier that Mick Foley was one of the names discussed today that could replace Hogan as a judge on WWE Tough Enough. Foley tweeted the following earlier about the gig:
Thanks @DeweyHaveTo. I doubt @WWE will offer me #ToughEnough. But, if asked, I would insist that the trainers be more involved in decisions.
