Hulk Hogan was removed from WWE history after audio was released of him using horrible racist remarks and admitting that he is “racist to a point.” WWE was against this and Hogan was removed from his judging position on Tough Enough as well, on top of being erased from WWE history.
Hogan is back to the company, though some might feel it is still too soon. The New Day, in particular, have felt that considering they were not impressed with Hogan’s apology.
It seems that Hogan had a heart-to-heart with Big E prior to Wrestlemania, which Big E himself spoke about on Twitter. Here is what he said:
I’d like to think everyone deserves a path to redemption. I appreciate @HulkHogan taking the time to apologize & hear my position today.
It is certainly great to see Hogan personally meet Big E and offer an apology and discuss with him. So it is good to have Hulk Hogan back, especially since he is making an honest effort at redeeming himself.
I’d like to think everyone deserves a path to redemption. I appreciate @HulkHogan taking the time to apologize & hear my position today.
