When the news broke of the leaked audio, most of the WWE Superstars and alumni all remained pretty quiet regarding the situation. Most wanted to give it some time and allow the facts to surface, which was a good idea, to begin with. But with that said, there were also those select few on both sides who offered their vocal input very prematurely. There were some who defended Hogan, but there were also those who condemned him as well. The only common issue they both shared, was that neither side allowed for time to let the facts come to the surface.

In the months since all of the facts were revealed and Hogan was allowed to speak his peace regarding the leaked audio, there have been an overwhelming number professional wrestlers both current, as well as from the past, who have decided to not only forgive The Hulkster, but they have also been vocal in stating that Hulk Hogan was, in fact, not a racist.
Look who just shut down all of Tony Khan's critics! More HERE.
One of the Superstars who has spoken in support of Hogan is WWE Hall of Famer Booker T. A while back, Booker was asked about the situation and here's what he said-
Hulk Hogan made a mistake. Every man deserves a second chance. If he gets back in, I'm gonna support him 100%, because I remember being that kid in WCW and he supported me 100%.

Jonathan, a big fan of Bray Wyatt, would like to see the latter's brother, Bo Dallas, continue his legacy as Uncle Howdy. If he were to work on the storyline, Jonathan would book the return of Erick Rowan as Howdy’s muscle. He thinks it would be a great way to honor the former Universal Champion.
