 After
TMZ reported that Hulk Hogan was close to a return to WWE the company responded
to the report. TMZ Sports reported that high-ranking WWE officials and Hogan
have been in contact and both sides want to make sure his return is done "the
right way." TMZ also noted that WWE was paying close attention to Hogan's
induction speech at the Boys & Girls Club's alumni Hall of Fame ceremony, where
he spoke about having the chance to help kids not make the same mistakes he's
made. WWE issued the following statement: "WWE applauds the work Hulk Hogan is
doing with Boys & Girls Clubs of America to turn what was a negative into a
positive by helping young people learn from his mistake. While he has taken many
steps in the right direction since we parted ways, Hogan is not currently under
contract to WWE." A member of the Saudi royal family had asked for Hogan to
participate in the recent Greatest Royal Rumble event and that led to talks but
nothing concrete came from it. Hogan was fired from WWE in July 2015 due to a
leaked racist rant where he used the n-word multiple times. |
