Former WWE chief Vince McMahon has paid tribute to late wrestling icon Hulk Hogan, and insisted he "wasn't racist" despite saying "some racist things".
Linda Hogan shared a 1981 photo of herself with late former husband Hulk Hogan on Instagram on Monday (11.08.25) to mark what would've been the WWE icon's 72nd birthday.
Late wrestler Hulk Hogan was "devastated" when he was booed by the crowd during his final WWE appearance before his death last month, according to his longtime friend and manager Jimmy Hart.
