– WWE Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan appeared on ABC’s Good Morning America today to discuss the racist comments scandal that led to WWE parting ways with him.
Hogan started the interview with Amy Robach off in tears and said this is the hardest thing he’s been through. Hogan says the leaked tapes were recorded when he was at the lowest point in his life, when he as suicidal. Hogan says he was very mad at daughter Brooke at the time and had no idea he was being recorded.
Robach asked Hogan if he was a racist and he said no. He said he’s embarrassed by what he said and blamed the rough neighborhood of South Tampa that he grew up in, saying people greeted each other with “that word” all the time like it was nothing. Hogan was asked if he wants fans to forgive him and he said he did. Hogan says he’s just Terry Bollea, a regular man.
Hogan talked about WWE scrubbing him from history and he said it hurts. Hogan got emotional again when Robach read Brooke’s Instagram post defending her dad. He talked about how Brooke has been supportive. It was said Hogan would give his right arm to get back into pro wrestling.
