Well, they have brought him back in some videos.

I'm not sure that that's necessarily a good idea. WWE's associations with Donald Trump has come under some scutiny lately and WWE won't be looking to court even more controversy and risking the numbers on a show with so many casual fans. 34, maybe - but 33? I can't see it.

He can stay away forever.

And needless to say any segment he's in, regardless the wrestlers involved or the angles involved, I'll just not watch. Just that simple.

[Kevin Hamilton]

My childhood will always be dyed in red and yellow Hulkamania, he's still the biggest name pop culture wise in wrestling, BUT he brings absolutely nothing to the table in 2016.

And I'm not even talking about the scandal. If his image was squeaky clean, there's nothing the Hulkster could do for the product today.

[Hit Girl]

He's shit. Can't wrestle anymore and is likely to botch promos. Stay away from him.

[No Name is needed Bro Beans]

he will probably just throw a beating on curt hawkins

If he backstroked out of the segment, that could be good

It was awful what Hogan said, but I'm not going to make some sort of personal boycott of anything he appears on. Wrestling is so full of bad people, I'd end up not being able to watch anything if I boycotted people who have said or done things I don't agree with.

I still watch Scott Hall and Jimmy Snuka and Benoit matches even after what they did (OK two didn't get charged but they were still shady incidents)
I still watch Mike Tyson at Mania 14 and his confrontations with Austin
I still watch Austin after his domestic abuse issues
I still watch British Bulldog matches even after hearing about him sedating and raping his wife
I still watch Ultimate Warrior stuff after his hideous homophobic comments


I could go on but you get my point. In fact, my biggest gripe with him coming back is that he offers absolutely nothing to WWE in the modern day.

Why? Like what could he possibly add?

[Session Moth is over]

Even if you forgot about the rubbish he was caught on camara saying I'd still have no interest seeing him on tv.

“I mean, I’d rather if she was going to f–k some n—-r, I’d rather have her marry an 8-foot-tall n—-r worth a hundred million dollars! Like a basketball player! I guess we’re all a little racist. F–---g n—-r.

I just can't forgive this. I was never a huge Hogan fan anyway though. He should just stay away and enjoy his money.

[MiLB Fan]

It'll be the 30th anniversary of when he slammed that big, nasty, stinky giant in front of 125,000 people, so I'm not surprised that Hulk's name has come up.

I remember the rumor that Hulk was going to do something at WM 23, but the plan fell through after he went on a radio show and revealed who WWE was considering for the Hall of Fame.

[魔界5号]

At the end of the day, it's Hulk f***ing Hogan. He's the most well known and recognisable wrestler in history. He was never going to stay away forever.

He can finally answer the question of whether Terry Bollea's or is is bigger than Hulk Hogan's.

[Reflecto]

Even if Hogan has absolutely nothing to add to the show anymore and had his image poisoned forever...IF Hogan can come back into the fold, that could have some purpose for the rest of the world.

Regardless of what Hogan said, there also seems to be a level of "once it's said, it can never be changed and it can never be atoned for". Even though people do say "Well, maybe Hogan should step back, see what he did wrong, and learn from this mistake"...it's easier said until it's seen that- whether or not Hogan will learn from his mistake or not- no amount of stepping back and learning from it will EVER be enough. Indeed, it seems like nothing short of "Hulk Hogan commits suicide in penitence for what he had said" will be enough for people to accept maybe they had been penitent for their comments- and there's just as many people who'd respond to that with "WOO HOO! DING DONG, THE WITCH IS DEAD! I HOPE IT HURT, RACIST!" for this.

Maybe Hogan coming back wouldn't be enough- but seeing that there IS a chance to have a second act and try to move on from even the most unpleasant comments possible SHOULD be able to happen.

Segment with New Day.

[Mayonnaise]

I don't think there are talks, I think it is a done deal. They've already put him back in commercials for the Network and he was in New York filming stuff for the Network and DVDs in the past couple of weeks. They'll slowly working him back in before having him do something major, probably at the HOF where they expect a respectful crowd. That gives them a buffer to see the reaction and decide to have him on WM itself.

[This Player Hating Mothman]

I don't want it to happen, but we all knew it would happen, and honestly there's a decent chance that it won't even catch trouble, since it will have been almost two years by Wrestlemania 33 and wrestling already flies so low under the radar media-wise that nobody is going to care. The only scandals that live up past their sell-by date of topicality are the massive media circus ones like the OJ Simpson trial.

[Deleted]

I wouldn't mind if it was a voice over, like a cartoon segment spliced in. That can be fun.

Or maybe put him in a sky box, have him wave to the people. Flex a bit.

I just have a feeling it will probably be him giving the big boot to Bo Dallas or Bray Wyatt, and I don't want none.
