– Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan announced he has signed a new deal with WWE…
“I’ve signed a five-year deal, I’m going to be 71 years old in a few weeks. I signed a five-year deal for the licensing and merchandising stuff, and the ambassador stuff, if they need me to do something for WrestleMania, I just love doing it. It’s definitely different.”

Is Hogan’s brain catching up to his body? Making an idiot out of yourself to make money from political endorsements is one thing, but what the hell is this idiocy? What fans still love Chris Benoit? Who forgave him? What exactly is he trying to say here?
@Luke,
There are still Benoit apologist out there that try and blame the CTE. There’s a legendary clip of Paul Heyman confronting a fan who shouted out “My Boy!” when Benoit was mentioned.
That being said, given his recent history, if WWE did sign him to a legends deal, it’s bad optics. Especially given the two Hogan videos that went viral last week, One where he poked fun at Kamala Harris on her skin color, and a second where he had a fan who asked about his racist comments kicked out of a meet and greet.
@Disgruntled Jobber
And some morons blame Kevin Sullivan, who cares? The idiot crowd isn’t limited to wrestling, it’s more of a mankind (not that one!) problem.
I like how you said “if”, I had the exact same thought. Funny how Hogan’s conditioned us to question absolutely everything he says…
The greatest wrestler of all time and the greatest company of all time continue working together. Now after president Trump takes back what’s his it will be a matter of time till Mr. McMahon makes his triumphant return to clean house.
Chris Benoit was an amazing talent in that ring, and he was entertaining to watch. He was also a piece of sh*t who murdered his family. Do I excuse that fact or make excuses for him? No. But even though I think he is a piece of human garbage; I can still think he was entertaining to watch.
Hogan has a lot of fans still like him and they buy his merchandise. If his music hit on Raw, Smackdown, or a PPV, most, if not all of the people would go crazy for him.
WWE needs to immediately terminate that contract for this comment! No one can truly justify what happened! That bullsh=t nearly took my love of the business away for good!
