WWE Hall of Famer Ric Flair shared his thought on WWE reinstating Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan several weeks ago, which came with Hogan’s apology to the entire roster backstage at the Extreme Rules PPV event.
“I’m very happy to see him back” Flair said, during an interview with Wrestling Inc’s Raj Giri. “I don’t pretend to understand any of that. I’ve heard so many different sides of the story, and all that.
“I think that anyone who portrays him as anything less than a good person, that has done an excellent job, I mean he’s been through a lot, just think about it. His wife was terrible during the divorce and then there was the accident with [Nick, Hogan’s] son, and then this.
“I mean, he’s had to go through a lot and the thing is great about Hulk is that he’s still the most expensive guy to get out there to sign autographs. He’s still Hulk Hogan, they can do whatever they want. If you want Hulk Hogan, you gotta have a big wallet, that’s the way it is.”
“I mean Jesus Christ, we’re all sitting here wondering if [there’s] a spy camera now, you know?” Flair continued. “You never know, right? It’s a good thing they never put a camera in my room, Wendy would be a national hero. I couldn’t probably get work for her anywhere.
“I wonder how I’d react to social media in the 80’s wearing my robe up and down the airplane serving drinks. [I] would have probably ended up on the cover of Time.”
