New Update on Hulk Hogan’s Possible Return to WWE

“The Hulkster” may be finally ready to get back in business with WWE. Fightful reports that Hulk Hogan and WWE are having ongoing talks at this very moment about a possible return to the company in the near future. They also report that apparently the wrestling company has decided that it would be alright with them if Hogan were to come back, and that it is now up to “the real American” to sign on the dotted line. Fightful states that WWE reached out to Hogan and proposed a “renewed working relationship” with him, and they claimed that Vince McMahon himself has spoken to Hogan about resuming their partnership. Could we be looking at a Hulk Hogan WWE return very soon?
WWE distanced themselves from Hulk Hogan for good reason back in 2015. A series of racist remarks were leaked in a video by online media site Gawker. This resulted in a widely-publicized trial between Hogan and Gawker, which luckily for Hogan, went his way when the website filed for bankruptcy and landed on a $31 million dollar settlement with him. Hulk Hogan had been working for WWE on-screen before the tape was leaked, and he was fired as a result. WWE also removed his profile from the Hall of Fame section on their website, although they never officially announced that Hogan had been removed from the WWE Hall of Fame. Hogan may not even want to return to the company due to his recent success.
Hogan is said to be in a “good place” right now and does not need any financial support, which he did need during his last WWE run. With Hogan now $31 million dollars richer, it’s being said that he may not even be too keen on the idea. With all of the injuries and weight that Hogan has gained over the last few years, that also may slow him down as well. However, he is supposedly being offered a deal to become an Ambassador for the company. It’s hard to imagine Hogan turning down a deal for the company to produce new merchandise, and to help continue his legacy in pro wrestling that he can never truly leave. If Hogan does come back, it should be interesting to see how fans react after returning from all of his latest scandals and controversies.
