10 ALMOST Impossible Wrestling Comebacks That Might Actually Happen

10. Hulk Hogan

'The Hulkster' was scrubbed from WWE lore almost overnight in 2015 following the revelation of racist remarks he'd made during recordings that would ultimately briefly return him to pop culture's delicate zeitgeist.

Hogan was in the middle of a $100million lawsuit against Gawker Media for the publication of a sex tape with Heather Clem, the wife of shock-jock DJ and occasional wrestling personality Bubba The Love Sponge. The release of the crude and offensive remarks came thanks to leaked evidence due to be presided on ahead of the trial, and immediately cost him the ambassadorial role he'd held with WWE since 2014.

Despite repeated public acts of contrition following the news, Hogan's Twitter feed suggested that perhaps he'd still not grasped the gravitas of the situation. WWE maintained a safe distance from the entire story, removing every mention of his name from their website and aggressively downsizing references to him where available on television and the WWE Network.

Astonishingly, just two years after the scandal broke, tensions between both parties may have already eased. Though not vilified for his remarks, Hogan received bizarre acclaim for his mammoth court victory over the entertainment blog, and Triple H and others have made hopeful allusions to his eventual return.
