Last week news broke that WWE and Hall Of Famer Hulk Hogan were in talks for a potential return. WWE actually confirmed this with an official statement:

“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.”

Dave Meltzer of Wrestling Observer Newsletter now reports that Hogan and WWE have had regular communication for the past year. He also noted WWE has always been looking for the right time to bring “The Hulkster” back, but feared backlash from sponsors.

Also, company sources say that the idea for bringing Hogan back would be to allow him to talk about how stupid he was for what he said. It would be angled as a redemption/forgiveness plot.

The overall goal from WWE was to ensure enough time had passed so that the return wasn’t controversial. Meltzer also acknowledged the rumors that Hogan could become the next SmackDown Live General Manager, however, they’re only rumors as of this writing.

Last week, WWE commented on rumors they had reached out to Hulk Hogan. The company released a statement indicating they had spoken with Hogan but he was not under contract.

“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.”

TMZ reporters caught up with Hogan recently. Hogan was on his way to the HBO Andre the Giant documentary premiere and he confirmed he won’t be at WrestleMania.

Mark Henry’s Delegation

Mark Henry has made several public comments regarding Hogan’s potential return to the company. Henry feels the time is not yet right for Hogan’s return. He also noted that he is part of a delegation of wrestlers who have spoken about what Hogan would have to do to redeem himself.

”The delegation is pretty much all of the more established African-American wrestlers in the country and in the world, for that matter. Every promotion… there’s not a wrestling promotion that doesn’t house someone from the delegation.” – Mark Henry on Busted Open Radio last week.

Henry continued to say everyone should be given a second chance but you have to own what you did.

”There’s gonna have to be more community service and outside work. Support for programs and even creative programs that deal with diversity in the workplace. … I don’t process everything like everybody else. I believe that everybody should be given a second chance but I also believe that you have to own your issue, whatever that issue is. You gotta try to make closure on everybody else’s behalf, not just yours.”

Mark Henry recently discussed Hulk Hogan possibly returning to the WWE in the near future on Busted Open Radio. Below are Henry’s comments:

“There are leaked videos of Andre’s story on HBO coming up on the 29th and he (Hogan) is in it. It is kind of a deal where you just have to accept it, he is a public figure. It does not mean that everything that he has done is forgiven, you’ve just got to take the good with the bad and see how you can help the situation.

I’m sitting on the chair of delegation and they are not ready. I have had many talks with dozens of guys and the consensus is that there is a lot of work to be done to heal that wound and to fix that wall”.

Henry was asked to explain what the delegation was and here was his response:

“The delegation is pretty much all of the established African American wrestlers in the country. And in the world, for that matter. Every promotion, there is not a wrestling promotion that does not house someone from the delegation”.

On what Hulk Hogan needs to do going forward:

“There is going to have to be more community service and outside work, support for programs and even create a program that deals with diversity in the workplace”.

If he would be shocked if Hulk Hogan appeared at WrestleMania 34:

“I am very rarely shocked, but in that case, I don’t know if I am ready. There is a lot that needs to be done. I don’t think it would be disappointment because I do not process everything like everybody else. I believe that everybody should get a second chance, but I also believe that you have to own your issue, whatever that issue is. You have got to try and make closure on everyone else’s behalf, not just yours.”

Henry has commented on a potential WWE return a few times now. TMZ caught up with Henry last month and Henry said that Hogan would be forgiven if apologized to all the existing African American talent.

• WWE Confirms Talks With Hulk Hogan About Possible Return

Could Hulk Hogan finally be returning to WWE?

It was reported earlier today that WWE officials have been in talks with the wrestling legend about returning to the company. WWE confirmed the report in a statement, which reads: “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.”

F4WOnline addressed the story tonight and added that Hogan is scheduled to appear at a WWE-related event for the first time since his termination from the company in 2015.

WWE, which collaborated with HBO Sports to produce a documentary on Andre the Giant — simply titled Andre the Giant — is holding a premiere for the film next Thursday in Los Angeles, California and Hogan is slated to be there.

Hogan was among those interviewed for the documentary, which explores Andre’s upbringing in France, his celebrated WWE career, and forays into the entertainment world. He is seen in the official trailer explaining Andre’s presence in wrestling.

[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f_jTeuajas0&w=560&h=315]

On July 24, 2015, WWE terminated its contract with Hogan, stating that they are “committed to embracing and celebrating individuals from all backgrounds.” The termination coincided with the publication of a racially insensitive video in which Hogan is heard expressing disgust with the notion of his daughter dating any black man, referenced by his repeated use of the N-word. Hogan also admitted to being “a racist, to a point.”

In an interview with ABC News’ Amy Robach that aired on Good Morning America on August 30, 2015, Hogan talked about the circumstances surrounding his use of the N-word and denied being racist.

“I’m not a racist but I never should have said what I said. It was wrong. I’m embarrassed by it,” Hogan said.

“People need to realize that you inherit things from your environment. And where I grew up was south Tampa, Port Tampa, and it was a really rough neighborhood, very low income. And all my friends, we greeted each other saying that word.”

As for fans who may feel let down by his actions, Hogan asked for forgiveness.

“Oh, my gosh. Please forgive me. Please forgive me,” he said. “I think if you look at the whole picture of who Hulk Hogan is, you can see over all the years that there’s not a racist bone in my body.”

• A look at the Randy Savage and Stephanie McMahon rumors

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.”

• Mark Henry Comments On Hulk Hogan Potentially Returning To WWE

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.”

If there was ever a proper time to use the word “electrifying” to describe a wrestling match, it was The Rock vs. Hulk Hogan at WrestleMania 18.

Aside from Stone Cold Steve Austin, The Rock and Hogan are easily the two biggest stars in the history of professional wrestling. While fans had been clamoring for a showdown between Stone Cold and Hogan, egos clashed and the match never happened. This set the stage for Rock-Hogan I inside the SkyDome in Toronto, Canada.

Over 68,000 fans packed the dome to see what was considered to be the real main event of WrestleMania 18. On this March 17, 2002 night something unusual happened. For the first time since he was riding the coattails of The Corporation back in the Attitude Era, The Rock was heavily booed.

Fans inside the SkyDome were pro-Hogan and wanted to see the wrestling legend turn back the clock. The Rock ended up winning the match and he embraced Hogan afterwards. Soon after, Scott Hall and Kevin Nash attacked Hogan. The Rock ended up making the save and Hogan posed for the fans.

Sixteen years later, The Rock took the time to reflect:

Hogan also had some words, laying out just how special the match was:

– For the past several months Matt Hardy has been utilizing a modified version of his “Broken” persona on WWE TV, calling himself “Woken.” He is currently embroiled in a feud with Bray Wyatt and will likely have a match with him at the Hardy Family Compound. Hardy recently took to Twitter and noted that “W” is going to start sounding like “BR”:

– Deadline is reporting that WWE Hall Of Famer Hulk Hogan’s legal battle with Gawker over his leaked sex tape could possibly be turned into a feature film or TV series. David A. Neuman’s Blackrock Production company has acquired the rights to turn Ryan Holiday’s “Conspiracy: Peter Thiel, Hulk Hogan, Gawker and the Anatomy of Intrigue” book into a production. The book was released last Tuesday and was written with cooperation from Hogan. Hogan wound up winning $140 million in the lawsuit.

Longtime WWE superstar and former World Heavyweight Champion Mark Henry gave his take on the potential return of Hulk Hogan to the sports entertainment company.

During a recent interview with TMZ Sports, the media outlet asked Henry what his thoughts were on Hogan coming back to WWE. Henry noted that he would be open to Hogan returning to WWE if he simply apologizes to the company’s current black superstars.

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.

Hogan’s WWE return has depended on the company being reasonably sure that bringing him back won’t cause a big backlash due to his racist comments. It’s possible that WWE hires him in an Ambassador role.

Last month, it was reported that Hulk Hogan had been in negotiations with New Japan Pro Wrestling in regards to appearing at Wrestle Kingdom.

According to a recent report from Sports Illustrated, NJPW approached Hogan but a deal couldn’t be reached. Hogan was reportedly asking for $750,000 for the appearance, which was more than NJPW was willing to pay.

Hulk Hogan and New Japan Pro Wrestling

Hogan’s relationship with NJPW goes back to the early 1980s before Hulkamania boomed in North America. He would even participate in the precursor to the modern day G1 tournament. In the 1983 IWGP League, Hogan defeated Antonio Inoki in the final.

The Young Bucks have been vocal supporters of bringing Hogan into NJPW.

The Bucks had the following to say in regards to the Hulkster in NJPW:

“I’d love to welcome Hulk in. He’s honestly my favourite wrestler of all time, so working with him in any capacity would be fun,” stated Matt Jackson.

“I’d love to have him walk us down the aisle, while three of us play the air guitar. That’d be a dream come true.” added Nick Jackson.

Hulk Hogan and Ric Flair sat down with TMZ Sports recently and spoke about the possibility of Hogan returning to WWE someday and the friendship the two of them have developed through the years.

Hulk Hogan and Ric Flair Interview

In the second video, Flair talks about how Hogan has been there for him during difficult times in his life. He talks about how Hogan lent him money when his son was sick and how Hogan was the second person to the hospital during Flair’s health scare last year.

“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 said of his desire to return to WWE.

“It has to be the perfect timing for both sides,” he added. “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.” To which Flair chimed in to say he is looking forward to that day.

– During his interview with “Mean” Gene Okerlund on RAW 25 last month, WWE Champion AJ Styes mimicked Hulk Hogan in his promo. Per a report from Sports Illustrated, Styles did not take any heat for the segment as it was completely scripted.

Styles reportedly asked if he could mimic Hogan out of respect as they grew close to one another in TNA. It should also be pointed out that WWE put the clip on their YouTube channel, something they wouldn’t do if there was an issue with Styles’ promo:

– On last night’s episode of NXT Roderick Strong defeated Tyler Bate to become the new No. 1-contender for the WWE UK Championship. That title is currently held by Pete Dunne. Strong and Dunne had a brief encounter after the match backstage which you can check out below:

As Hulk Hogan looks to mend his damaged relationship with WWE in hopes of an eventual return to the promotion, the disgraced wrestling icon isn’t doing himself any favors with his late night tweets.

WWE made a huge deal out of the first-ever Women’s Royal Rumble match – and rightfully so. The Women’s Rumble closed the show on Sunday night and managed to live up to the tremendous hype its received over the past several months.

Hogan, winner of two Royal Rumbles (1990, 1991), chimed in late Sunday night with this gem of a tweet, which was later deleted:

Kim again said she won’t be in the match after a fan said he hoped to hear her first WWE theme song. She said that song was good, but hated her song during her second run with the company.

Well it won’t. Lol. Again, I’m going to a viewing party and also remember the last run I had there, they gave me some garbage generic music that sucked. That entrance song was good however. I think my fave is puppets on a string https://t.co/WS1f2jVKhv

• A look at the life and death of Miss Elizabeth

We reported earlier this month that WWE Hall Of Famer Hulk Hogan told The Associated Press that he is a fan of what The Bullet Club has been doing over in New Japan Pro Wrestling (NJPW). “The Hulkster” spoke to The AP to discuss RAW 25 and whether or not he’d be appearing. During the interview he said he’d love to jump on a plane and go over to Japan and ‘get involved with that Bullet Club.’:

“I’m about ready to jump on a plane and fly to Japan and get involved with that Bullet Club, man. I’m so excited about those kids.”

Matt Jackson of The Young Bucks, and Bullet Club member, told Sports Illustrated this past September that he’d love to have the opportunity to work with Hogan:

“I’d love to welcome Hulk in. He’s honestly my favorite wrestler of all time, so working with him in any capacity would be fun.” His brother Nick added, “I’d love to have him walk us down the aisle at the Tokyo Dome while the three of us play air guitar. That would be a dream come true.”

Wrestling Observer Newsletter is reporting that negotiations actually took place to possibly have Hogan associated with The Bullet Club, however, Hogan was asking for too much money and members of the faction were hesitant to welcome him out of fear he’d jump right back to WWE the moment they showed any interest.

– Following his epic return to WWE on RAW 25 earlier this week, WWE Hall Of Famer Stone Cold Steve Austin took to Twitter to comment on his return. Here’s what he had to say:

Had a blast at RAW 25! Swig of beer to everybody that tuned in! Cheers!#mondaynightraw @WWE pic.twitter.com/vuEbrZ5wvU

— Steve Austin (@steveaustinBSR) January 24, 2018

– One name that missed RAW 25 is Hall Of Famer Hulk Hogan, who has since been distanced from WWE since his racist comments in a leaked sex tape came to light several years ago. Hogan took to Twitter and said it was hard to sit at home and not be a part of it, but enjoyed watching what he called a ‘great show’:

Very hard sitting at home and not being at #Raw25 with all my friends but really enjoyed seeing it all. My how great the show was HH

— Hulk Hogan (@HulkHogan) January 23, 2018

After Raw 25 aired last night, Hulk Hogan sent out the following Tweet.

“Very had sitting at home and not being at #Raw25 with all my friends but really enjoyed seeing it all. My how great the show was  HH”

Hulk Hogan and WWE’s Relationship

Last week, Hogan gave an interview to the Associated Press and spoke about how being black-balled from WWE has impacted him. Hogan and WWE parted ways 3 years ago after audio recordings of Hogan using racially insensitive language were leaked in the media.

“I don’t know if (WWE) want me back,” Hogan admitted in the interview. “I think the fans want me back. I think that I’m part of that company from the ground up. Triple H I know is a huge fan of the guys that gave their blood, sweat and tears and their personal life to make this happen,”

WWE responded to the article stating they were committed to their decision to distance themselves from Hogan.

“AT THIS TIME, WWE REMAINS COMMITTED TO ITS DECISION.”

WWE Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan was interviewed by Dan Gelson of the Associated Press this week and confirmed that he is not planning to be in attendance for Monday’s big RAW 25th Anniversary special. Even though he won’t be there in person, Hogan says he’ll be there in spirit, because Hulkamania inspired every legend we’ll see at RAW 25, including Vince McMahon.

Hogan’s bio is still gone from WWE.com after his summer 2015 release from the company due to the fallout from his sex tape & racism scandal. He’s been on the outside of the WWE Universe looking in for nearly 3 years now, but would return in a heartbeat if he got the call.

“I’m 64 years old and right now I could go out and tear WrestleMania down,” he said. “I might have that one more match where I really beat the hell out of Vince. I’ve still got one in me.”

Hogan’s ready to return, are WWE – and more importantly – their sponsors, ready for Hogan?

“I don’t know if they want me back,” Hogan admitted. “I think the fans want me back. I think that I’m part of that company from the ground up. Triple H I know is a huge fan of the guys that gave their blood, sweat and tears and their personal life to make this happen,”

He added, “I know Triple H would love to see me back on the inside again.”

Dan Gelston of the AP reached out to WWE about the possibility of Hogan returning. Unfortunately for the Hulkster, it wasn’t the response he was looking for.

“At this time, WWE remains committed to its decision.”

With a WWE return seemingly not in the cards, Hogan has expressed interest working with the Bullet Club in New Japan Pro Wrestling. Could we see Hogan don the black and white once again and stand beside the likes of Cody Rhodes, Kenny Omega and the Young Bucks?

“I’m about ready to jump on a plane and fly to Japan and get involved with that Bullet Club, man. I’m so excited about those kids,” Hogan said.

Other topics discussed include Hogan’s beach shops in Florida and why he’ll never do reality television again.

The 25th Anniversary special of Monday Night RAW is a week away and WWE is trying to make it as big as possible. Names such as Stone Cold Steve Austin, The Undertaker, Shawn Michaels, X-Pac, and many more have already been named. Two big names that haven’t been named yet, however, are former WWE Champions The Rock and Hulk Hogan.

PWInsider is reporting that if The Rock’s schedule is open then he will be at the show. Oftentimes, however, it’s hard for The Rock to leave the set of a movie or television to go and make an appearance for WWE. As for Hulk Hogan it’s still up in the air what kind of relationship he has with the company after his sex tape and leaked racial comments became public.

It has been rumored for a long time that the company wants to bring Hogan back but WWE officials are concerned with how sponsors would react to the move. We’ll keep you updated as we learn more…..

– WWE Hall Of Famers Sting and Hulk Hogan are set to appear at the Ace Universe Comic Con on Monday, January 15th in Glendale, Arizona for a photo-op.

– The Revival’s Dash Wilder took to Twitter to ask RAW General Manager Kurt Angle for a shot at the RAW Tag Team Titles against Seth Rollins and Jason Jordan. Wilder reminded Angle that he and Scott Dawson are undefeated as a tag team since making their main roster debut:

https://twitter.com/DashWilderWWE/status/949422019099156480?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw

WWE Hall Of Famer Hulk Hogan won a $140.1 million lawsuit last March against Gawker for publishing a sex tape of his that he didn’t know was being recorded. Gawker tried to plead that they were protected under the First Amendment because the video was newsworthy. Gawker would eventually declare bankruptcy and settled in bankruptcy court to pay “The Hulkster” $31 million.

In the tape Hogan could be heard making some violently racist comments and was fired from WWE which cost him role as a judge on WWE Tough Enough in summer of 2015. Gawker claimed the only reason Hogan sued them was to try and prevent the racist comments from becoming public.

Per a report from ABC Action News, Hogan is now in yet another lawsuit regarding the tape, this time against radio personality and host of the 1025 The Bone morning show, Mike “Cowhead” Calta. Also being sued is Calta’s former co-worker Matt “Spice Boy” Loyd, and Cox Radio who are the owners of The Bone. The lawsuit accuses Calta and Loyd of “stealing, disseminating, using and exploiting illegally-recorded video.”

A motion to dismiss the case made by the defendants was denied by the judge. A response is required from them within 20 days. Hogan is seeking unspecified damages after claiming the tape ruined his professional wrestling career.

As we’ve previously reported, the main event for WWE’s Fastlane pay-per-view (PPV) in March has been leaked out – a Fatal-Five Way match for the WWE Title between AJ Styles, Randy Orton, Shinsuke Nakamura, Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn. The match has yet to be confirmed by WWE, however, if that match does take place it would indicate that Orton, Nakamura, Owens, or Zayn won’t be winning the Royal Rumble match as it wouldn’t make sense for them to challenge for the title at Fastlane after winning the rumble.

There has been speculation that perhaps John Cena could win the Royal Rumble and go on to challenge AJ Styles for the WWE Championship at WrestleMania 34, with the storyline being Cena trying to break the record he shares with Ric Flair of being a 16-time World Champion. Per a report from Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Cena vs. Styles will not be happening as Cena will be involved in a much bigger match at WrestleMania 34 instead.

Meltzer noted that he didn’t know who Cena would be facing, however, he was told it would be made clear over the next several weeks. The only names Meltzer could come up with were The Undertaker, Batista, Goldberg or Hulk Hogan. Hogan would be a huge surprise given the leak of his racist comments a few years ago and the issues he has with his back. It’s expected that some matches for WrestleMania 34 will begin to build-up at RAW’s 25th Anniversary special on Monday, January 22, 2018.

The event will be a special simulcast event from both the Barclays Center and the Manhattan Center in New York City; with names such as John Cena, The Undertaker, Kevin Nash, Shawn Michaels, and more scheduled to appear. We’ll keep you updated as we learn more….
