Hulk Hogan is trying hard to move on, but one thing that he is simply having trouble getting over is his ties with the World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE).
After that infamous racist rant went public, Hogan has since been removed from the WWE and not a single trace of the Hulkster can be found on WWE.com.
The thing is despite that celebrated rant, wrestlers voiced out their belief that Hogan is not a racist by heart. Among the wrestlers who said their piece are ironically African-Americans. Such testimonies, however, have not convinced WWE CEO Vince McMahon to change his mind.
And from the looks of it, it may take more time to heal, although Hogan seems to be pretty much aware of the situation and the mess he finds himself in.
One thing that Hogan is sure is that his heart will always stay in the WWE.
"Brother, WWE is the best, no doubt. No (there's no hard feelings), I love those guys, man. That's my family," says Hogan in an interview with TMZ.
It has been over a month now since that celebrated tirade and all have been quiet on the issue. It will be recalled that Hogan used the N-word, which seemed to be in reference to his estranged daughter seeing a black man.
The rants of Hogan (or Terry Bollea in real life) were caught on tape and for some reason landed in the hands of the Enquirer and Radar Online.
In a previous post, Hogan did apologize for the rant, which took place eight years ago. Here is a part of the post as lifted from People Magazine back in July.
"Eight years ago I used offensive language during a conversation. It was unacceptable for me to have used that offensive language; there is no excuse for it; and I apologize for having done it," Hogan said in that statement.
Hogan views his current state as a temporary family conflict and is hoping that one day he would be accepted back in the WWE scene. Whether that happens or not remains to be seen.
