Hulk Hogan 'Knows' Triple H Wants Him Back, WWE Respond
The Hulkster also wants a future WrestleMania match against Vince McMahon!?
In an interview with Dan Gelson of the Associated Press, Hulk Hogan seemed confident that Triple H would love to have him back in WWE, but wasn't sure about the promotion as a whole. He stated:
'I don’t know if they want me back. I think the fans want me back. I think that I’m part of that company from the ground up. Triple H I know is a huge fan of the guys that gave their blood, sweat and tears and their personal life to make this happen. I know Triple H would love to see me back on the inside again.'
Hogan has been ostracised from WWE for almost three years, since the sex tape and racism scandals of 2015 - but several reports have cropped up since then regarding his impending return. Ultimately, none of those have yet proven to be true.
Hogan also expressed a desire for a possible future WrestleMania match against none other than Vince McMahon, saying 'I’m 64 years old and right now I could go out and tear WrestleMania down. I might have that one more match where I really beat the hell out of Vince. I’ve still got one in me.'
He also mused about potentially joining the Bullet Club over in New Japan Pro Wrestling, which could legitimately be the more likely of two scenarios - given Hogan and Vince's age, and the current distance between WWE and Hogan.
Rumours have recently circulated regarding a potential unannounced return for Hogan on the upcoming 25th anniversary of Monday Night Raw, but WWE released a statement to Gleson saying 'At this time, WWE remains committed to its decision'.
That would seem to suggest otherwise, although many other big names are being advertised for the show - including Shawn Michaels, Ric Flair, Steve Austin, Undertaker, and Eric Bischoff.
