19 Nastiest WWE Breakups

17. Hulk Hogan

Hulk Hogan and WWE having problems is a tale as old as time. Truly the first star to be "bigger" than the company, the Hulkster has never been shy about peacing out of Vince's bungalow of bodies. Whether it was Hollywood, a financial disagreement, or Billionaire Ted offering more money in WCW, Hulk and Vince have had a very on-off relationship, but for the most part, it's somewhat remained respectful (the less said about the Billionaire Ted skits, the better).

But then everything came tumbling down in the summer of 2015. By this time, Hogan and WWE were square, with Hogan having come back from a TNA-riffic exile the year prior. However, some lovely folk on the internet leaked a sex tape of the Hulkster, which included his now famous rant filled with racial epithets. Just like that, WWE dropped Hogan like a sack of very racist rocks.

Of course, the whole incident was a PR disaster. Hulk Hogan, the man who was synonymous with WWE, and wrestling as a whole, revealed to be your grandmother at Christmas dinner. It was a huge embarrassment for all parties involved, and even with Hogan back in WWE's good graces, it's likely something no one will be able to forget.
