Hulkamania may soon run wild in the WWE again.
The return of Hulk Hogan to the WWE in 2014 was a warm welcome to many fans. Hogan had previously worked for TNA, where he played an on-camera authority figure from 2009 through 2013. Hogan’s role as an ambassador for WWE was short-lived after his 2015 sex tape debacle which included Hogan making racist comments about African Americans.
It appears enough time has passed for WWE to consider bringing Hulk Hogan back into the fold. According to PWinsider, Hogan and WWE have been in talks over the past several weeks about a possible return, most likely as a brand ambassador.
WWE issued the following statement regarding the recent talks with Hogan:
“We have had discussions with Terry Bollea (aka Hulk Hogan) about how he can help others learn from his mistakes, however, he is not under any contract with WWE.”
It’s been a roller coaster ride for Hogan the past few years. He’s had a lot of time to think about the behavior that cost him his job with WWE and his status as a role model to people across the world. He’s been vocal about wanting another chance, telling TMZ Sports last month, “For me, I’d love to change that last story that was told of the Hulk Hogan career. I’d love to get back in the fold, get back on the inside and correct a lot of stuff.”
Hogan added, “It has to be the perfect timing for both sides. We’re all on good sides and all working towards the same goal so hopefully, I’ll be able to be back with my wrestling family someday soon.”
