The last surviving veteran of the American Civil War, Terry "Hulk Hogan" Lastname was just another grandfatherly figure getting ready to oil himself up and take us all to the gun show. Fast approaching his 200th birthday, he was also looking forward to the surprises 2K might set him up with in its next rasslin' video game.
But the only surprise for this living relic is sudden removal from the WWE 2K16 roster. Apparently there are some tapes of him using racist language that was more fitting to his time. The tapes, however, don't date back to Hulk's childhood, but only as far back as the year two-double-aught-seven. According to linguistic experts, Terry can be heard saying something that sounds like, "trucking bigger," but he wasn't talking about GameRevolution community member BigTruckSeries. He was using a phrase which, despite having gone through varying levels of mainstream acceptability, has never been a good thing to say.
The issue extends beyond gaming, as the WWE has removed Hogan from its website entirely, leaving no videos or photos.
Meanwhile, super hero and movie star of similar name, The Hulk replied with reiteration that he is a comic book hero, not a pro wrestler and that 'Hulk' is neither person's real name.
