WWE Talent Questions Hulk Hogan Tributes Amid Legacy Debate

Following the death of WWE Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan, WWE held tributes including 10-bell salutes and video packages across its flagship shows to honor his wrestling legacy. However, WWE developmental talent Jamar Hampton publicly criticized the widespread tributes by sharing a transcript of Hogan’s 2007 racist rant on Instagram, questioning if Hogan should be celebrated given his past remarks. Hampton’s post reignited discussions about the complexity of honoring Hogan, with mixed reactions from fans and industry insiders. Meanwhile, Hogan’s daughter Brooke Hogan revealed she was not invited to WWE’s tribute events, sharing on social media about her complicated relationship with her father. Despite WWE focusing on Hogan’s in-ring achievements, the controversy highlights ongoing generational and cultural divides within the wrestling community regarding Hogan’s legacy. WWE has not issued a public response to Hampton’s criticism.
