#3 Healing begins: Hogan returns at Wrestlemania
Let's make one thing blatantly clear, Hulk Hogan's remarks on that recording are offensive, deplorable and simply unacceptable. However, it was just a snippet of a private conversation between Hogan and his former best friend, Tampa Bay shock-jock, Bubba The Lovesponge.
I do not in any way condone what was said, but since that incident, Hogan has taken ownership for his remarks and has apologised profusely.
Those remarks are ultimately what got Hogan fired. But, rather than dwelling on all of the negatives, which we can't do a thing about, I'd rather ask you to think about what wrestling would look like today, had there been no Hulk Hogan.
The era of Hulkamania was the most pivotal time in all of professional wrestling's storied history. Hulk Hogan is the most recognisable figure in wrestling. Even those who don't follow the sport, they still know who Hulk Hogan is.
Hulk Hogan made a terrible mistake over a decade ago. It's time to let the healing begin and the only way that can ever happen, is if we can first allow him the opportunity to come back and make his apology to the WWE Universe and then we must be willing to forgive and move on as well.
