Jerry Lawler Thinks The Ball Is In Hulk Hogan’s Court In Regards To A WWE Return

The past few years have been a rollercoaster ride for Hulk Hogan. He returned to WWE in 2014, but he was later released from his contract in the summer of 2015 after some leaked audio containing Hogan using racial slurs surfaced online.

WWE immediately cut ties with him, but there have been rumors going around claiming that the company is interested in bringing him back. Jerry Lawler recently spoke out about the Hulk Hogan controversy on his podcast, Dinner With The King, and he thinks the ball is in Hulk Hogan’s court in regards to a possible return.

“In the wrestling world, you never say never. I thought it was way big overreaction what happened with Hulk in this most recent situation — the reason why he’s not in WWE at the moment. But I think that has definitely blown over. It was never a big deal to begin with. And I don’t think anybody even thinks about that anymore. I do think a lot of people would like to see Hulk come back. I think, right now, the ball is in Hulk’s court. If he wants to come back, I think he would definitely be able to come back.”

Jimmy Hart is a man that knows Hulk Hogan well, and he added that he believes Hogan will return to the company that made him a star one day.

“You have seen clips of the Hulk being sprinkled into video packages lately on WWE programming. So I think one day that Hulk will be back where he deserves to be, with the WWE. I really do.”
