Hulk Hogan Racist Comments: Wrestler's ‘GMA’ Interview Asks for Forgiveness from Fans

Hulk Hogan is having a tough go-around since audio leaked of the former wrestler using some very NSFW racist language from a conversation back in 2007, which was secretly being recorded. In a recent interview with Good Morning America, Hogan apologized for his comments, claimed that he is NOT a racist, and further asked for forgiveness from his fans.

Easily one of the most recognizable faces of wrestling, Hogan admits that this scandal has hit him "probably the hardest" despite everything he's been through in life – even more so than his sex tape and having to do Hogan Knows Best.

"I was at the lowest point of my life, to the point where I wanted to kill myself," he tells Good Morning America. Furthermore, he claimed he was angry at his daughter Brooke for "no reason" about something having to do with her then-boyfriend.

On the tapes, he refers to his daughter's boyfriend using the n-word. But now, Hogan claims that he shouldn't have used the language, calling what he did "wrong" and embarrassing. He did say, however, that he inherited some things from growing up in South Tampa.

"It was a really rough neighborhood ... All my friends, we greeted each other saying that word. The word was just thrown around like nothing."

Moreover, his community even used the n-word when being greeted in the morning? Which is, well, weird.

While asserting he is not a racist, Hogan admits that he did probably inherit a racial bias growing where he did. "I think that was part of the culture and environment I grew up in."

To his fans, Hogan assures them that he's truly a nice guy, unlike The Hulkster, and begs for their forgiveness.

After the audio leaked, Hogan was pulled from the WWE Hall of Fame.
