Shane McMahon recently appeared on the latest Opie Radio podcast where he talked about various topics including Hulk Hogan’s WWE status.
The WWE Hall of Famer was backstage at the Extreme Rules pay-per-view event where he held a meeting with Superstars to talk to them about privacy as a celebrity and the incident that got him shunned from WWE for years.
Although the son of WWE Chairman Vince McMahon would not provide an update on Hogan’s status with the company, he did make it known that he believes Hogan should be welcomed back in the company.
Shane said that he had no scoop and that this is a question that can only be answered by Vince. “He is an icon, that’s for sure. He will be back. I mean I grew up with Hulk. McMahon added, “He’s iconic.” McMahon would continue by stating that he’s not going to press stuff but would assume that he’ll come back one more time. He joked that they could talk about United States President Donald Trump or something less controversial.
Hogan was reinstated into the WWE Hall of Fame earlier this year after Hogan was fired from WWE in the summer of 2015 after racially charged comments from a sex tape came to light. Gawker alleged that Hogan only filed a lawsuit against them to prevent the racial statements from being released.
He has wrestled some of the biggest names in the history of pro wrestling, and although he has a long-lasting relationship with the company, there have been some hiccups between the two sides throughout the years. The belief is that when WWE is able to bring Hogan back at the right time, they will.
