Happy to see the biggest star ever in the WWE back home.I am someone that would actually like to see the Hulkster in a weekly on air role again,but something different this time around as a manger to lets say Roman Reigns.Have Hogan return to mange Reigns and both turn heel.I think the two paired up as heels could get some serious heat and would be something somewhat fresh and interesting.
That or have him as and on air authority figure but we kind of already saw that during his TNA run.Also even with him in his early 60's do want to see "One More Match" but more so in a tag team bout where he puts in five or ten minutes of work just doing safe stuff.A tag team match with three other younger talented guys could really help hide some of his weakness.Just don't want his final match ever to be in TNA.

Letting Daniel Bryan wrestle, now Hulk Hogan looks to be back, someone looks to be real nervous at this point in time. Nervous about what?

It's interesting that is the phrasing WWE chose to make. When they released him, they just stated he was being released, not removed from the WWE Hall of Fame. Of course, we saw that is what happened, but for them to say they have now reinstated him into it says they definitely did more than just remove his profile from the website. Just interesting to see the choice of wording.

I think Hulk has already gone on record that he can't wrestle anymore, but as for another role why not. Maybe a manager or GM might be best fit. I assume they'll start off with guest appearances like they did before.

I assume they'll start off with guest appearances like they did before. He's got a much better believable tone than Kurt Angle. I wouldn't mind seeing him replace Angle as RAW GM at some point. I think he did that role well in TNA.

Supposedly he is backstage at extreme rules. Doesn't mean he appears on the show itself.

PWInsider reports reinstated WWE Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan is backstage at Extreme Rules. Additionally, Hogan is said to have made a formal apology to the WWE locker room for his comments that were leaked in 2015. Sources present backstage said that Hogan apologized for embarrassing himself and WWE. He also told wrestlers to be careful about what they say as they could be recorded without their knowledge. The report states that Hogan received a strong reaction afterwards, and a umber of wrestlers started shaking his hand and hugging him. Hogan was reportedly very emotional during the meeting. Hogan reportedly met with WWE officials before meeting with the locker room. It was reported that “the feeling backstage is he’s back on board with the company.” The report indicated that Hogan could be at the TV tapings later this week, but that is not set in stone. Also, PWInsider reports that WWE confirmed that the company has not, as of now, signed Hulk Hogan to any type of new contract or deal. While Hogan is officially reinstated to the WWE Hall of Fame, he’s not under contract to the company. WWE appears to be taking baby steps with this situation. Hogan also issued the following statement on Twitter on the news. Just met with the wwe Superstars and on all levels the volume of love and support was overwhelming. I’ve been praying for this day and I finally feel like I made it back home. Only Love 4 the #WWEUNIVERSE brother HH — Hulk Hogan (@hulkhogan) July 15, 2018

If wwe didn't get Hogan in their good graces you know ROH and New Japan would have asked him to appear at their MSG show in April.

Well I hope there's no Hogan/New Day skit if he is on the show. that'd be really uncomfortable.

I'm glad that an admitted racist can be embraced and welcomed back with open arms, while everyone forgets what happened and the racist ends up learning nothing.
Great company.

Apparently MSG is pissed at WWE over their relationship with Barclays for Mania. So they seem to be pushing forward with ROH out of spite. It’s entertaining stuff.

I love the twitter reaction. People saying they're done with WWE & they're cancelling their Sub to the Network...Then you go to their timelines and read tweets/RTs about how Donald Trump is a racist.... So you're telling me putting Hogan BACK into the HOF offends you because you believe he's racist but having Trump in the HOF because you believe he's racist doesnt? Man sit the down. People just looking for a reason to whine & pretend to be offended.
