MJF says Hulk Hogan changed wrestling forever, but he is a liar and a racist.
Hulk Hogan is one of the most iconic wrestlers of all time, and he previously helped take the business to new heights. However, he has been embroiled in controversy over the years. In 2015, WWE fired him after a video of him making a racist rant leaked in 2015.
In a video posted on Dr. Beau Hightower’s YouTube channel, AEW World Champion MJF was asked why he thinks Hulk Hogan gets so much heat in the wrestling community.
“Because he’s a liar and a racist,” MJF said. “It doesn’t change the fact that he was a massive draw, and the professional wrestling business will never be the same because of him, for the better. But there are plenty of professional wrestlers that did great business. It doesn’t mean that they’re great people.
“Chris Benoit was a great professional wrestler. It doesn’t mean that he’s a good person. I think for some reason, wrestling fans kind of struggle with that. They can’t separate the two. Which is why I think people love me. Because I’m out and out a horrible person, and I’m honest about it. It’s like, at least I’m honest about it.”
