Last Appearance: WWE 2K15 was the last time Hulkamania fans were able to pick from a modern-day Hogan, the fuzzy retro version or the nWo's Hollywood version. The next year, just three months or so before 2K16's release, Hulk's contract was terminated by WWE because of a racism scandal.

Why They Won't Be In 2K19: Hulk is still putting the pieces of his career back together after being filmed making derogatory comments about African-Americans and using racial slurs. He has apologised profusely, but WWE thus far have kept a safe distance from one of their most famous sons.

He'll be back, no doubt. It won't be in time for 2K19's release however.

At the risk of sounding too fanboy-ish, no WWE video game with "Legends" included is complete without Hulk Hogan. The Hulkster is the defining WWE Superstar of his generation, and it's maddening to see some of his greatest foes (like Randy Savage and André The Giant) in the game without him.
