WWE News: Hulk Hogan ready to wrestle again, talks WrestleMania 34
What’s the story?
Hulk Hogan has taken to social media so as to insinuate that he’s indeed ready to wrestle again.
Additionally, Hogan noted that although he won’t appear at WrestleMania 34, he’ll be watching at home and cheering on his friends.
In case you didn’t know…
Hulk Hogan is widely regarded as one of the greatest professional wrestlers of all time; having performed for several notable promotions such as NJPW, WCW, TNA (now—Impact Wrestling) as well as the WWE.
Hogan was fired from the WWE back in 2015 after a few leaked tapes showed him mouthing racist profanities.
The heart of the matter
One ought to note that certain sections of the professional wrestling community have been clamoring for Hulk Hogan to return to WWE—with several fans and experts emphasizing that he has indeed paid his dues in repentance for his past mistakes.
Nevertheless, while the WWE recently revealed that they’re in talks with Hogan so as to rope him in to help others “learn from his mistakes”, the promotion noted that he’s not under any contract with WWE.
Hogan was initially rumored to be appearing at WrestleMania 34, however, the Hulkster has shot down the speculation. Instead, Hogan chose to post a photograph of his WrestleMania 19 match against Vince McMahon, with the following caption—
“Weighed in at my old weight of 303 today, to bad I’m not in the Main Event at Mania because I’m ready brother,but I will be cheering my friends on from home! HH”
What’s next?
The vast majority of professional wrestling experts believe that Hulk Hogan is likely to return to the WWE this year.
The WWE’s WrestleMania 34 PPV takes place this Sunday, April 8th, at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome in New Orleans, Louisiana.
Author’s take
Hulk Hogan has achieved great heights of success in the sports-entertainment industry, and irrespective of whether or not he returns, his legacy is already secure.
Love him or hate him, Hogan sure does know how to hype anything and everything, and perhaps he could return to the WWE and make amends.
