WWE Hall Of Famer Jerry “The King” Lawler was interviewed on Sunday at Florida Supercon.
Among several topics, Lawler talked about Hulk Hogan’s return to WWE. Hogan is not under contract yet but he was “reinstated” into the Hall Of Fame and the belief is that he is back in the fold for future appearances and a possible ambassador role.
“Well, no I’m not shocked at all,” Lawler said when he was asked about Hogan’s WWE return, “I was shocked while he wasn’t in the WWE Hall of Fame. I think the whole thing was just kind of blown out of proportion. I’ve known Hulk Hogan his entire career and for the claims about him being a racist or anything – it’s just absolutely never one ounce truth to that at all.
He continued, “Like I said, I’ve known the guy my whole life and he is a really good guy and I just felt it was an overreaction that he wasn’t in the WWE Hall Of Fame. We have to be politically correct these days. Honestly, I think we go too far overboard being politically correct. I am happy that he’s back. Hopefully, they’ll renew a working relationship with The Hulk for WWE. Let’s face it, without a doubt he is the most popular WWE Superstar of all time so it’s only right he should still be in the Hall of Fame and only right that he should still be working with the WWE.”
Lawler believes that Hogan will eventually make it back to WWE television.
Lawler also talked about his drawings, Memphis Wrestling on the WWE Network, Jim Ross’ injury status and more. Check out the video below:
