Wrestling icon Hulk Hogan has once again found himself at the centre of controversy after making racially insensitive comments during a recent podcast interview. The WWE Hall of Famer claimed he was "more Black than Black people", a remark that has drawn widespread criticism.
Hogan, whose real name is Terry Bollea, made the statement while discussing his past controversies, including the 2015 scandal where he was recorded using racial slurs. The incident led to his temporary removal from WWE programming.
Backlash and Reactions
The wrestling legend’s latest comments have reignited debates about his history with racially charged remarks. Critics argue that Hogan’s attempt to downplay his past behaviour only highlights a lack of accountability.
Hogan also touched on his relationship with former US President Donald Trump, describing him as a "great guy". The two have been friends for decades, with Trump even appearing at WWE events in the past.
A History of Controversy
This isn’t the first time Hogan has faced public scrutiny. In 2015, a leaked audio recording revealed him using racial slurs, leading to his suspension from WWE. Although he was later reinstated into the Hall of Fame, many fans and critics remain sceptical of his redemption.
Hogan’s latest remarks have sparked renewed discussions about race, accountability, and the role of public figures in shaping societal attitudes.
