Hogan is one of the most important wrestlers this industry has ever seen, but his exclusion from WWE is a punishment that many don’t feel fits the crime.
One such individual is WWE Hall of Famer Ted DiBiase, who recently appeared on Ring Rust Radio. DiBiase had the following to say about Hogan’s WWE status and gave his support for The Hulkster’s return someday:
We have all said things in anger in a moment that we don’t mean. Especially when you are in a situation where you think it’s safe and certainly you don’t think you’re being recorded. Not to mention the fact that it was how many years ago.
I understand and I think that the WWE is in a situation where we live in this age of political correctness, which I absolutely hate, but there are some things I guess you just have to do. WWE is not owned by Vince McMahon anymore; it’s a publicly held company, and I think that they didn’t have a choice in doing what they did.
I hope at some point in the future that could be rescinded because he doesn’t deserve it—he really doesn’t deserve it. Anybody black or white that knows him personally for any length of time can tell you he is in no way racist.
