— RadarOnline spoke to Hulk Hogan’s driver and friend of 25 years Bruce Comtois and he says the person from the tapes is not the person he knows.
Comtois stated, “It’s very surprising. He never demonstrated any behavior like that when I was around.” Comtois added that he never saw this side of Hogan before, saying: “Not once! There were no racial overtones. He never ranted about anything. He wouldn’t go off about anyone, color or background. This is a real surprise for me. I don’t know what he may or may or may not have been thinking. It’s like your pastor saying something and going, ‘Did you just say that?!’ That’s how aghast I am.”
— Count former NBA star Dennis Rodman as another one of the men coming to Hulk Hogan’s defense. He posted the following tweets in support of Hogan.
I’ve known @HulkHogan for 25 years. Here he is hanging with Kylin in NJ. There isn’t a racist bone in that mans body. http://t.co/QnT9rmrpVe
