10 WWE Things That Must Happen Before WrestleMania 38

6. Cut Ties With Hulk Hogan

Booed out of the building in Florida, his adopted home state, was Hulk Hogan, who could barely get a word out of his mouth in WrestleMania 37's second night.

While Titus O'Neil was showered with cheers, Hogan was met by walls of jeers. That the Hall of Famer was dressed like a pirate only made the situation funnier.

Now, it's time for WWE not to cut back on its use of the self-admitted racist, but jettison him entirely. There's no value in using him anymore. There hasn't been since 2015, admittedly, but why keep him around now that the live audience is rejecting him as well?

Hogan has earned the kind of reception he got in Tampa and again from all future audiences, having failed to show genuine remorse for the repulsive racial biases displayed on his leaked 2015 sex tape. "Sorry" is a hollow word when you blame technology and claim you didn't know you were being filmed in the very next sentence.
