THANK YOU Tony! My daughter is half Mexican, Native American, and African American. I got to march with Cesar Chavez when I was a kid. Taught me to respect others. Mad respect for you sir. 0 respect for that woman. Another reason to love AEW!

Hulk and Linda Hogan divorced in 2009. In 2015, Hogan was heard and seen making racist remarks on a leaked sex tape when speaking about the men he would want his daughter to date. Hogan was either terminated or quit the WWE depending on which version of the story you believe. Hogan has since apologized for his remarks. Other wrestlers such as Virgil, Booker T and The Rock spoke out on behalf of Hogan at the time while others like The New Day praised the WWE for distancing themselves from him and criticized the promotion when he has been brought back into the fold.
