Hulk Hogan is moving on with his life.
Hogan was under fire back in 2015 when comments of his were broadcast to the public after a leak. These comments featured multiple racial slurs and comments from the WWE Legend. Hogan would be removed from the WWE Hall Of Fame, being reinstated in 2018.
While appearing on the latest episode of The MMA Hour with Ariel Helwani, Hogan was asked about if he felt his legacy had been damaged due to his comments leaking.
“There was a temporary situation where I thought, ‘Okay, where’s this going to end up at? Where’s this gonna wind down? Where’s the legacy, where’s this, that.’ At the end of the day, there had been so much goodwill with the Hulk Hogan brand, and people knew me so well, I mean I’ve been around over 40 years. People know me so well, from Mike Tyson to Brutus Beefcake to Vince McMahon to Verne Gagne to Bret Hart, everybody knows me so well that they knew that I would come back and I would become the person that I was. There was a temporary situation with the surgeries and some of the racial stuff that went down. It was a speed bump, but that’s not who I was, and everybody knew that. So it was a tough time, but the main thing that really got me were the surgeries over the last ten years. That was the thing that was in question. When you come out of a back surgery and someone tells you you’re never gonna walk again, that will really screw your head up. The rest of this stuff, I had a bunch of people on my side, I had a huge support system. People that knew me stuck with me, and it’s just been amazing to see how the fans have stayed with me.”
