• Hulk Hogan Responds To Rumors Of His WWE Return Being Near
Multiple sources have recently reported that “The Immortal” Hulk Hogan’s WWE return is near. During a recent interview with The Buffalo News, Hogan addressed those rumours.
Below are the highlights from this interview:
On his past comments:
“People know me. I’m human being like anybody else, and sometimes, people make mistakes. When they do, you watch that person a little bit more closely than you did before to see what kind of person they really are. I just want people to judge me by my actions, not a few misspoken words. To those few fans who feel (hurt), I’m forever sorry, and I’ll do whatever I can to make them feel comfortable with me.”
On rumors of his WWE return being near:
“Until you hit a home run, it’s not a home run. All these things say it’s imminent or rumors, that’s like saying ‘maybe, possibly, could be.’ Until I’m back home with the WWE, I’m not home. Hopefully some day I can go back home and be with my family, the wrestlers and all the people I love. I just really, really hope it happens.”
