You need no further proof that Hulk Hogan is imminently due for a WWE return than the fact that he got a number of shout-outs throughout the evening, kicking off most unexpectedly during the Dudley Boyz' speech.

D-Von said that Hogan was the first wrestler to inspire him to enter the industry, adding, "I even tried to look like Hogan. I mean, I had the tan."

It's an especially interesting remark considering the nature of Hogan's recent exile from WWE - for being recorded making racist comments - so one can imagine Vince was rubbing his hands with delight backstage at D-Von's comments.

After all, if a prominent black wrestler has no ill will towards Hogan, it's the perfect PR seal of approval to bring him back, right?
