10 WWE Superstars Returning In 2017

2. Hulk Hogan

The public is a very forgiving sort, especially when it comes to celebrities. That's not to say that it’s right, but it’s what we do for some reason. Hulk Hogan said some deplorable things in a sex tape, and was booted from WWE when it went public. However, The Hulkster is just too deeply ingrained in the company’s history that they’re not going to keep him out forever. It's only a matter of time before he shows up in some form. It may be five years from now, or next year, but it will happen.

While he's never going to wrestle another match for WWE, and will likely never have any sort of recurring on-air role again, you can imagine he’d probably get a pretty good pop for any event he shows up at. The media as a whole isn’t as ruthless against Hogan these days, as his victory against Gawker seemed to put some positive publicity in his corner. The story seems to have shifted a bit from Hogan's offensive language and opinions over to the shadiness of the website publishing his tape in the first place. That works well for him.

WWE has also been promoting him more as a whole lately, as his voice can be heard in various recent videos they’ve produced. It seems that they’re trying to ease their way back into the Hogan camp. For fans who still love them some Hulk Hogan, they probably shouldn't worry too much, as it's almost a sure thing that Hulkamania will once again run wild in WWE.
