If this happens I feel bad for the person who has to open emails and answer phones for Snickers/Mars.

Are we getting Hulk with his 12 inch member, or Terry with his much much smaller wanger.

What's the benefit to WWE? What, in 2018, does Hogan have to contribute? Ahem....

Yikes, no good with come from this situation.
WWE is fine without the guy. His last run was sad to witness anyway.

Even if Hogan is genuinely remorseful for what he said, what can he contribute? His best promo days are behind him, and he can't take any bumps.
The most they can do with him that's likely to go off relatively trouble-free is have him stand there and wave to the crowd.

Get the likeness rights sorted out for merch and video games and be done with it. I have no use for him as a TV presence.

Urgh this keeps cropping up, what is it with Vince and Trips and there obsession wit getting this lying old racist back 😳🙈 Hulk Hogan is one of the reason Pro Wrestling has been in the Mainstream radar since 1985. That is reason enough to have him appear occasionally.

He contributes nothing except a sad reminder that childhood heroes grow old and are often revealed to be incredibly damaged human beings.
People didn't turn on Raw or Tough Enough because Hogan was on, nor did they buy a videogame just for him. His merch isn't going to sell like it did because of what he's said and done and the fact very few companies have struck deals with him since the tapes prove that, if there was money to he made from hulkamania, he would be making it.

I hope the people who are outraged by this will stop watching rather than complain to sponsors so that they can still make a racist rich in order to get their wrestling fix.

The idea of Hogan being back and Cole shouting about “legendary moments” and guys like Rollins and AJ doing Hogan posedowns makes me feel ill. Plus Hogan f***ing sucked on that last run.
Bring him back into history for the Network specials and games and stuff, but keep him off TV.

Honestly, if they advertised Hulk Hogan appearing on Raw next Monday, it would be the first Raw I actually watched in a long time. The guy is a flawed human being for sure but I'd be intrigued to see what he does. He shouldn't be on all the time but as a once in a while appearance he's fine.
I think if you dug enough you'd find that every wrestling star has done things they aren't proud of and has a black mark or two in their history. I can accept that people aren't perfect, especially when he spent so much time with Make A Wish kids and doing charity work.

Okay, so I just saw the article on PWInsider and apparently there were plans for Hogan to appear at The Greatest Royal Rumble at the request of the Saudi royal family.
Doing what, exactly? If his back is as messed up as everyone says, there’s no way he could have been a surprise entrant. Backstage segment? If WWE was truly going to bring him back I doubt they would waste his first appearance in years on that. Surprise appearance at the end a la Ronda Rousey? That’s the only realistic option I can think of, but it would only make sense if his involvement with WWE was going to be more than just a one-off.
I agree with what others have said: Use him for Network specials and the like, but keep him out of the ring.

Forcing people to endure their fabricated reality. Making deals with an oppressive nation. Rehiring racists.
WWE is literally The Bluth Company.

I can only guess they want Hogan to do something when they go back to Saudi Arabia in November, which means WWE are once again willing to shred themselves of pride for profit. Personally, I could care less about what happens to Hogan at this point, I just don't care about him and never really have done.
