Hulk Hogan's controversial week has taken yet another devastating turn as a recorded conversation between The Hulkster and his son, Nick, reveals that the WWE Hall of Famer also used the n-word in a joking manner in 2008.

Bay News 9 in Tampa, Fla. received a recording of Hogan's phone calls with Nick that occurred when the former WWE Champion's son was serving an eight-month prison sentence for the car crash that left his friend John Graziano permanently disabled.
The Pinellas County Sheriff's Office released nearly two weeks worth of phone calls between the two and Bay News 9 recently combed through them again, discovering Hogan dropping the n-word.

According to the affiliate, Hogan uses the n-word in a joking manner during a conversation with his son Nick that went like this:
Hulk: "You and me been sitting on some serious phone, phone dialogue here n---a."
Nick: "Yeah, nibb-ah."
Hulk: "N---a, n---a, that means, that means you (are) my best friend."
These comments came in May 2008, nearly a year after the other racial slurs Hogan was recorded saying during his sex tape with Bubba the Love Sponge's wife Heather Clem occurred.
That conversation with Clem was released on Friday by The National Enquirer and led to the WWE releasing Hogan from his contract, relieving him of his Tough Enough judging duties and sponging his name from its website.
There was also another conversation where Hogan discussed God and reincarnation with Nick, saying he hopes they don't return as black guys in another life.
"You know that God gave you this vibe and this, this, energy that you and I are going to live forever, bro," Hogan said. "I just hope we don't come back as a couple, I don't want to say it, blizz-ack gizz-uys, you know what I'm saying?"
"Brutal," Nick responded after they laughed.
Hogan also talked to his son about possibly being transferred from the adult jail to a juvenile facility per the report.
"It's down in St. Pete and it's mixed-race and we get along with everybody, so that's fine," Nick said.
Responded Hogan: "Your mom went there and said it was mainly blizz, you know what I'm sizz-aying?"
"Mm-hm," Nick replied.
Hogan continued: "And that some of the ladies there that, you know, run the school are nice blizz lizz-adies, you know?"
"Mm-hm.... I would go down there, I would make friends with all those kids down there," said Nick. "I guarantee it. Because you know how all the blizz pizz love us."
In other Hogan news, TMZ reports that Hogan's attorneys have filed new court documents asking the judge to launch an investigation into Gawker boss Nick Denton and former Gawker executive AJ Daulerio.
This was done in an attempt to prove that the pair was behind the original court-sealed documents leaking to the public, revealing Hogan saying the n-word and leading to his dismissal from the WWE.
Hogan claims that Denton leaked the tapes to gain leverage in Hogan's $100 million lawsuit against Gawker over the release of the sex tape, which he allegedly didn't consent to.
Hogan's demands are that if it is found out that Denton and Gawker are behind the leak, anyone involved in it should be arrested and the WWE Hall of Famer should win the lawsuit automatically.
Prior to all of this coming to light, Hogan was training hard and hoping for a comeback to the squared circle.
That's the least of his problems now.
