3 Things WWE Could Do With Hulk Hogan

Hulk Hogan parted ways with WWE back in 2015 after a recording was leaked which featured Hogan making racial remarks.

Hulk Hogan was removed from his hosting job on WWE Tough Enough, had all merchandise and articles about him on WWE's official website taken down, was not mentioned on WWE TV and had most of his WWE Network content removed, with the exception of pay-per-views and TV tapings he appeared on and his Unreleased Collectors series DVD.

Now, after three years, a couple of lawsuits, negative media and a lot of apologizing, Hulk Hogan has finally been welcomed back into the WWE family. As of this writing Hogan has not signed a new WWE contract, nor has the rest of his Network content been put back on the WWE Network, but he has been reinstated into the WWE Hall of Fame, and has made an apology to the entire WWE locker room, while being backstage at WWE's Extreme Rules event.

So this leaves us the question of what happens next? Will WWE bring him back, and if so, what could they do with him? Well, here are in my opinion, WWE's top three best options.

#3 Becoming An Ambassador

Now receiving standing ovations

Hulk Hogan made a huge mistake back in 2015.

If everything he has done in these past three years has thought us anything about him, it's that he has learned his lesson. Hogan now has a better view on how and when to speak about who, and how to better view things he is not particularly happy about.

WWE and Hulk Hogan now have the opportunity to put what Hulk has learned to good use, and that is to be a goodwill Ambassador for WWE. Hulk spoke of such topics at the Boys and Girls Club Alumni Hall of Fame last May, where he received a standing ovation for his speech, and he is also said to have gotten a great ovation from the majority of the WWE locker room and staff after his apology speech backstage at WWE Extreme Rules.

WWE could now have Hogan make appearances at events, as well as colleges and schools, where he can continue to turn this big negative into a better positive.

#2 Returning To The WWE Network

More quality content

As previously mentioned, before Hulk Hogan and WWE parted ways back in 2015, at the time he was serving as one of the guest judges of WWE Tough Enough. The controversy started mid-season, so Hogan was replaced by The Miz for the remainder of it.

Hulk Hogan's popularity today is certainly divided, but he still remains a strong selling point for WWE as fans will still pay to see him. Should Hogan sign a new contract, it will likely be a Legends contract, similar to the one he had back in 2014 - 2015, so he will be earning 'bigger bucks' than other legends, and thus WWE will need to find more work for him, so they can get their money's worth from him.

The best way to do this, other than a regular role on television, is for much participation on the WWE Network. Tough Enough is now long gone and doesn't look to be making a comeback, but the WWE Network has so many options for him.

Hogan could make appearances on the usual shows like Table For 3, Story Time, Photo Shoot, the Edge & Christian Show, and many more, but I would particularly like to see a WWE 24 edition documenting his controversial return, perhaps being the host of some kind of new WWE Network show, or maybe even being a part of a revival of a Network show like a new season of Legends House.

#1 Returning To WWE TV

No, not as a wrestler

This one will get a very mixed reaction from fans, with some loving the idea, but a lot of hate to, and that is for Hulk Hogan to make a full-time return to WWE RAW or Smackdown.

Hulk Hogan is turning 65 years old this August, so his years of being able to appear physically on TV regularly are getting numbered. A return to TV shouldn't be off the table in my opinion because, love him or hate him, the character Hulk Hogan is one of the greatest characters in the history of the industry.

He was the most popular star of the 80's, and one of the best villains of the 90's. I could easily see Hogan returning to TV as either some kind of authority figure or even to be a manager. And this one is a little out there, but if a new version of the NWO was to happen, with a heel Hulk Hogan as a manager, I think that could make for some very exciting television
