Stone Cold roots for Hulk Hogan's WWE future

Don’t you lose hope my friend

Stone Cold Steve Austin, who was busy in his mudhole stompin' schedule took some time out for fellow WWE legend Hulk Hogan.

In a phone-in interview with TMZ Live on Wednesday, when Stone Cold was asked to comment on the potential return of HH, he stated that Hulk Hogan can be forgiven for his bad choices. 

“He’s the one who’s gotta weather the storm, you know, since it is a public company now. How soon or how long does it take for something like that to be forgotten, let alone just forgiven? You can never forget it, but can you forgive it? Yes. We’ll see what happens. I’ll leave that to them,” he said.

The legend who himself had recent made an unexpected appearance at WrestleMania 32 also exclaimed that Hulk Hogan will maybe make a comeback when a time is right. In his words, “Hulk Hogan’s had a tremendous run. He got into, y’know, some issues… Maybe in time when all that washes away he’ll make a comeback.”

Let's keep in mind the fact that HH's recent scandal with an infamous sex tape in which he was heard uttering numerous homophobic and racial slurs got him fired from the WWE and removed him from its Hall of Fame.

Is the WWE ready to forgive?
