Last week, the wrestling world was saddened by the news of the passing of The Immortal ‘Hollywood’ Hulk Hogan. The WWE Hall of Famer has had an illustrious wrestling career. At the same time, he has also been embroiled in some controversies in recent years.
Recently, while speaking on the Extreme Life of Matt Hardy podcast, Matt Hardy shared his honest thoughts on Hulk Hogan and his string of controversies.
“He definitely stepped in a hornet’s nest and made a lot of people angry and probably the best thing he could’ve done is just been straight-forward and been accountable and just said ‘I’ll try and be better, please give me another opportunity,’ but he kinda danced around everything you try to not take full accountability for it and I think that’s what pissed most people off.”
Matt Hardy then went on to share that there will be some people who will be holding grudges against the WWE Hall of Famer. But at the same time, he is confident that the majority of people will look past the controversies and appreciate Hogan for his contributions in the professional wrestling business.
“I think there’s gonna be some people that are going to hold a bit of a grudge against him but I think the majority of the people are going to look back and look at his wrestling contributions and what he did for wrestling, how he made wrestling a mainstream sports-entertainment entity and what not and I think that’s what he’ll be credited with and what he’ll be remembered for,” Matt Hardy said.
