“I Cannot Stress”: Former WWE Star, Who Was Controversially Released, Once Shared Why Hulk Hogan Went Back to the Company

Hulk Hogan might be one of the greatest creations of Vince McMahon. Even greater than The Rock or Stone Cold Steve Austin, the man has been associated with WWE since the 1980s. Just like his initial win over Iron Sheik to win the WWF Championship, fans still scream when the legend comes over to Raw or SmackDown.

Recently, the Hulkster has taken a more backseat role than most of the fans would like. He hosted the 37 and 38 WrestleMania alongside another WWE superstar in the background, Titus O’Neil. The last time we saw him do a promo was alongside The Rock and Steve Austin at WrestleMania 30.

But before that, WWE was very cautious about using his name anywhere. The many controversies and scandals that the Hulkster has been a part of smudge his name in the darkness. But his name might be getting cleared as WWE has reinstated him in the Hall of Fame.

In a phone interview with Ringside News, Muhammad Hassan opened up about WWE reinstating Hulk Hogan to the Hall of Fame. He said, “I saw he got reinstated, and I cannot stress how that speaks volumes of Hulk Hogan for who he is as a wrestler, and an entertainer.”

“In WWE, the ratings are dropping, and I feel like their looking at Hogan again to kinda spike them. That says a lot because he’s been doing this for what 30-40 years now and he’s still a ratings machine. You put him on t.v and people are going to watch.”

Muhammad Hassan, the Principal of a school in New York now, was a part of a tag team match where he faced Hulk Hogan and Shawn Michaels, along with Davari. The match took place at Backlash 2008 and Hassan has told in interviews that the match was a spectacle for him. His experience of being in Madison Square Garden with two WWE legends was electrifying.
