Hulk Hogan has broken his silence regarding his racist comments that surfaced earlier today that resulted in WWE terminating his contract and erasing all traces of him from the company website.
Hogan issued the following statement to People.com, apologizing for what he said and explaining that his remarks do not represent who he is.
“Eight years ago I used offensive language during a conversation. It was unacceptable for me to have used that offensive language; there is no excuse for it; and I apologize for having done it.”
“This is not who I am. I believe very strongly that every person in the world is important and should not be treated differently based on race, gender, orientation, religious beliefs or otherwise. I am disappointed with myself that I used language that is offensive and inconsistent with my own beliefs.”
