A sex tape that featured Hulk Hogan and the wife of a friend emerged back in 2012, and it's caused the former wrestling icon all kinds of problems.

Hogan was caught delivering a racist rant on the tape, during which he was heard using the N-word multiple times. That forced the WWE to cut ties with him, costing him what we can only imagine were ridiculous sums of money, while making him somewhat of a pariah at the very same time. 

Now comes word that Hogan was the target of a blackmail scheme, where the person who stole the tape was trying to extort him for a million dollars. WTSP in Tampa, Florida has the details:

Hogan was recorded having sex with the wife of shock jock Bubba the Love Sponge Clem. Hogan became the target of a million dollar blackmail scheme.

The most interesting part of all of this might be the fact that despite the FBI having taped conversations of the blackmail attempt, the state attorney refuses to prosecute the case.
