The latest WWE news and rumors are swirling about Hulk Hogan getting fired by WWE for alleged racist remarks he made.

A variety of different sites have reported on the news including the Wrestling Rumors site, indicating that Hogan made racist remarks over his sex tape involving Bubba the Love Sponge wife. Reportedly, WWE listened to the audio which came from Hogan’s sex tape with Bubba the Love Sponge’s former wife, Clem. The company heard racist remarks made by Hogan during his tirade about his 27-year-old daughter’s relationships. That included use of racist language with regards to Brooke potentially having a sexual relationship with a “black billionaire guy” who wanted to fund her music career.

Hogan (real name Terry Bolea), is currently 61-years-old, will turn 62 in early August. He had a starring role on WWE Network's "Tough Enough" as one of the three competition judges, joining current talent Daniel Bryan and Paige of the WWE Divas. Hogan has previously starred in his own reality series and on the WWE's only real competitor in the pro wrestling business, TNA Impact Wrestling. He recently returned to WWE for last year's WrestleMania to serve as the host of the 30th edition of the event.

WWE wants Brooke Hogan ASAP!

According to a recently published interview article from The Sun UK, The Hulkster's daughter Brooke Hogan has been contacted numerous times by Vince McMahon and WWE with serious interest in seeing the blond singer become a wrestler. As of now though, the singer and star of her own reality show on VH1 "Brooke Knows Best", isn't ready to hit the ring.

According to The Sun UK:

And, in an exclusive interview with SunSport, Brooke revealed: "The WWE have told me that if I ever want to become a wrestler all I need to do is walk through the door and they'll give me a job straight away.

"They are always like, 'Hey Brooke when are you gonna put on some spandex and get in the ring?'

"But it's just not my interest. I'm more of a girly girl."

She added: "I would be good at it though, I would really kick ass at it — because I'm really strong and my dad's trained me up since I was 12-years-old."

So would 21-year-old Brooke Hogan make it in the WWE? Would she be able to hold her own with the other WWE Divas? She's definitely got the eye candy factor of a bombshell diva, and the wrestling/acting background from her father who is a storied wrestler, capable of entertaining masses. Brooke was even involved in a storyline years ago where Randy Orton was coming on to her, but Hogan intervened. She could fill the role of a valet, accompanying someone to the ring, or as of right now even be a Raw special guest host just to promote her season 2 reality show. According to The Sun UK's full article, Brooke says Hogan is not done with wrestling completely, and plans to do some sort of farewell tour for his fans.
