Hulk Hogan says wrestling fans are “very forgiving”

During his appearance on Logan Paul’s podcast Impaulsive, WWE Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan described wrestling fans as “very forgiving” towards wrestlers.

To make his point, Hogan used Chris Benoit as an example of how there’s still a large portion of fan base who love him despite the horrible things he did.

“If Chris Benoit can do the crap he did and the fans still love him, you know, they’re very forgiving,” Hogan said. “I made some major mistakes in my personal life, but they forgive you.”

Hogan’s major mistakes in personal life were topped by his racist rant during a private conversation with his son when he was in jail following an auto accident. Hogan was “Benoit’d” from WWE for several years after the audio of the conversation was leaked, although he found a way to get back in the company’s good graces again.

In the same interview, Hogan also said that he recently signed a five-year deal with the company.
