WWE Hall of Fame doesn't mean the end

Well, Hulk Hogan hasn't wrestled in over 6 years, but the former WWE World Heavyweight Champion, who was inducted into the Hall of Fame by Sylvester Stallone in the Class of 2005, hasn't retired from in-ring wrestling yet.

The Hulkster who was brought back into the WWE fold earlier this year and reinstated into the Hall of Fame, hinted that he would like to get back in the ring for another match.

Recent reports state that Hogan may return at the 2018 Crown Jewel event, which if it does happen, could be a monumental move for the WWE, considering his past utterances. Hogan's last match in the WWE was back in SummerSlam 2006 when he defeated Randy Orton.
