Could be the new authority role on Smackdown, might be Braun's tag partner at WrestleMania, could be for the "Greatest" Royal Rumble ever in a couple months.

Hogan was fired by WWE in July 2015 after a tape of Hogan using racially insensitive language towards African-Americans was leaked to the public, first published by The National Enquirer. Hogans conversation, including an angry rant about his daughter Brookes then-boyfriend (who was African-American), had been secretly filmed in 2006 by Hogans former best friend, radio personality Bubba the Love Sponge. In what would become a huge media story, Hogan was also secretly filmed sleeping with Bubbas then-wife Heather Clem.

Well, to be fair, at least WWE is playing fair.

If they're going to erase Chris Benoit from history for what he did, terminating Hogan's affiliation with the company for saying unsavory things off the cuff means they're not playing favorites.

The only way that this happens is if they don't think it will cause a problem with their sponsors. I mean look what happened with the Moolah battle royal. Fucking idiots.

I wish WWE would just bring back WCW and let it be the trashiest shit ever and let people throw shit in the ring and just go nuts with it.

As much as people like to compare, they really aren't the same situation. Hogan went on a racist rant mainly directed at one person. Moolah actively orchestrated a prostitution/rape/borderline child porn ring for decades. Bringing Hogan back is nowhere near as bad as honoring Moolah

I'm not really saying that it is, but they will only do it if they don't think it will affect their sponsors. They were going balls deep with Moolah, knowing people had a problem with it, until Snickers was like what the fuck are you doing.

I'm not trying to compare what one did with another.

I was meaning more that even from the sponsors perspective, Snickers can probably think of "forgiving" Hogan as not all that big of a deal a lot more easily than they can accept the Moolah thing

Regardless of his out of ring bull shit...what is the big deal with Hulk Hogan, man? His gimmick is boring, he's past his due...At this point its just like "oh its Hogan...he's back....he's playing an air guitar, ok"...

I dislike Hogan as a wrestling personality, but, whatever. The man knows how to draw. He's mastered the most important skill of a pro wrestler, even if his tactics to maintain his spot afterwards always amount to politicking and not actually being entertaining.

Makes sense, Hogans a huge money draw. And pretty sure they and wcw have done this in the past so its nothing new. Hogan wanted to get out of wrestling plenty of times but couldnt say no to the money.

Yeah, because using a racial slur in a private moment is totally the same as murdering two people.
