10 Dark Secrets Wrestlers Accidentally Revealed

10. Hulk Hogan Outs Himself As A Racist

Hulk Hogan destroyed his legacy without intending to.

The man has a legendarily acrimonious relationship with the truth, so much so that it was funny. He was the ultimate wrestling carny, deeming himself capable of time travel in order to put over the number of times he made the tizzowns, brother, and claiming that he was set to play bass for Metallica before he became a wrestling superstar. He also "let slip" that he bought an ill Make-A-Wish child a ticket to watch him wrestle at a WWF pay-per-view. Let's hope that child was a fan of the British Bulldog, because Hogan was talking about SummerSlam 1992.

When Hogan did reveal the real nature of the man who lurks underneath the fantasist veneer, it was revolting. Caught in 2015 talking about his daughter's then-boyfriend in 2007 on tape, he said "I am racist, to a point. F***ing [n-word]." This, after also saying:

"I mean, I'd rather if she was going to f*** some [n-word], I’d rather have her marry an 8-foot-tall [n-word] worth a hundred million dollars! Like a basketball player!"

Hogan being Hogan couldn't keep track of whether he was actually apologetic or not, and receives very mixed reactions when WWE is brazen enough to drag him out for a pop.

Fated to hear that which he can't bear for the rest of his life, it's not the most deserving punishment, but for a celebrity, it could be more egregious.

F*ck him!
