    Scott Steiner has branded Hulk Hogan a "racist" and accused him of destroying TNA Wrestling

    The IMPACT Wrestling star didn't hold back as he insisted it "killed" the company in its previous guise when then-president Dixie Carter signed the former WWE legend - whose real name is Terry Bollea - to a contract in 2009


    He said: "Dumb*** Dixie Carter brought in racist Hulk Hogan and all those other guys. That's what killed it and ran it into the ground. Of course I let my feelings be known."

    His comments come after Hogan was left disgraced in 2015 when a transcript from a sex tape recording - which was secretly made in 2007 when the 'Rocky III' star was suffering from depression - was leaked ahead of his trial against Gawker which revealed him using the 'N-word' during a conversation about his daughter Brooke Hogan's then-boyfriend.

    Whilst Steiner suggested the star's run was a bad period for IMPACT, with the focus on aging stars rather than the young talent, they have also had more personal issues over the years.

    Their long-running feud worsened when Hogan's wife Jennifer accused him of accosting her after she and him landed at a San Jose airport in March 2015 ahead of 'WWE WrestleMania 31', which took place in Santa Clara, California, and told her that he was coming for her husband when he touched down in the city.

    Referring to the incident, Steiner claimed: "The piece of s**t tried to get me arrested saying that I assaulted his wife at the airport. Thank god that they had cameras there."
