Hogan, who turns 62 years old today, teased on social media how he’s aiming to have a bout at WrestleMania 32 at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas – a statement he eventually backtracked on.

The possibility of Hogan competing at next year’s WrestleMania went out the door when the WWE Hall of Famer (not anymore, apparently) had racist comments of his released to the public through The National Inquirer.
WWE immediately cut ties with Hogan, removing him as a judge on the reality series “Tough Enough,” as well as removing all videos and photos of him on their official website.
Hogan made several racist remarks during a sex tape with Bubba the Love Sponge’s ex-wife Heather Clem, which landed the 12-time World Champion in hot water.
TMZ.com then reported how WWE officials were played the comments on July 23, resulting in their decision to terminate the partnership.
Hogan last competed at a major event during TNA’s “Bound for Glory” in 2011, losing a bloody one-on-one bout to Sting.
Editor’s Note
He’s 62 years old. Regardless of his situation with WWE, perhaps now is the time to consider retiring for good. This is ridiculous.
