I sincerely doubt Hogan was ever planning on attending an AEW show (though people probably said the same about TNA) so this is really just inconsequential pandering/glorified trolling.

Also Hogan's wife said "Afro Americans" :DEAD:

Yeah, I really doubt Hogan or his ex wife would go to an AEW show, so the banning is kinda pointless :lol Linda's tweet was dumb AF though lol.

I would like to know exactly when it was decided to ban Hogan from their shows, cause like... I don't see anything that could have provoked it during AEW's existence. Was it just some shit they decided on in the first meeting like "Alright. We're going to call the company All Elite Wrestling. We're gonna market ourselves as an alternative to WWE. Also no Hulk Hogan allowed."

Rather he knows or not, the ban yeah pointless as he wouldn’t go there lol. But still I say fuck Hogan. People wouldn’t know it with how I pushed him and everything on TEW. But I never been a fan other than his nWo run and that’s more me liking the nWo. I won’t take away from now huge a star he was. But just don’t give any fucks about him .

Perhaps Tony Khan was not a Hulkamaniac growing up.

In all seriousness, I think it's pretty stupid to ban the biggest and most influential star in wrestling history.

Also, they are currently employing a convicted rapist so people in glass houses shouldn't throw stones.

I think this says more about Ric Flair resignin' with WWE than even considerin' them since it's the southern promotion. They just didn't want to insult Flair.

Yeah sounds like Khan looking to grab headlines to me. Its another tactic to try and make AEW look like the plucky underdog fighting big brother etc.. imo.

Their are people that probably will never like Hogan again after his racist comments years ago. Tony Khan appears to be one of them.

That was a stupid tweet by Linda.

This is Hogan that we are talking about. He probably would still be in a wrestling match today if WWE would let him. Jacksonville is like 3 hours from Tampa. He would be trying to hover around AEW now if he wasn't still connected to WWE.

I'm not against Hogan. I just have always gotten the vibe that he still loves wrestling at his older age.

1. Booker's promo was not racist, at all.

2. Greg Valentine (for better or worse) is not relevant enough for most people to hate.
