This is a developing story&#8230;<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Perhaps looking to avoid or at least mitigate yet another controversy, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wwe.com\/wwe-crown-jewel-event\">Hulk Hogan has been added to the Crown Jewel event<\/a> this Friday with a little fanfare as imaginable. The one-time biggest star in the industry has seen his image tarnished by recorded racist comments that surfaced on two occasions &#8211; once on a sex tape with friend Bubba the Love Sponge and his wife &#8211; and another in a jailhouse conversation with his son.<\/p>\n<p>Hogan&#8217;s own Twitter page isn&#8217;t even touting his return to a WWE event. Hogan is usually ahead of stories regarding his return to public eye in high profile situations.<\/p>\n<p>The only way to know Hogan is going to be at Crown Jewel is on the WWE.com Crown Jewel event page after clicking on the &#8220;See More&#8221; link. Brock Lesnar, Braun Strowman, and Triple H are on the top row, then Shawn Michaels, Undertaker, and Kane. After clicking the &#8220;See More&#8221; link, it expands with four more rows of wrestlers and Hogan is alone on that fourth row.<\/p>\n<p>Hogan&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/2018\/07\/15\/hulk-hogan-wwe-suspension-lifted-after-three-years-announces-wwe-hogan-meets-with-wwe-locker-room-this-afternoon\/\">WWE suspension was lifted this summer<\/a> after three years. He met with the WWE locker room to address his racist comments, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/2018\/07\/19\/titus-oneal-says-he-hopes-hogans-statement-to-wwe-wrestlers-on-sunday-isnt-repeated-says-apology-lacked-remorse-or-desire-to-change\/\">the reaction wasn&#8217;t all positive<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>WWE is not using Hogan&#8217;s return to a WWE live event to market WWE Network viewership of the event this Friday. WWE had a chance to mention Hogan on Raw and Smackdown this week and didn&#8217;t.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/whatculture.com\/wwe\/wwe-confirms-hulk-hogan-for-crown-jewel\">What Culture&#8217;s<\/a> story on Hogan&#8217;s return includes this: &#8220;This is turning into the set-up of an actual joke: How do you make a propaganda exercise even more problematic?\u00a0Get a racist to appear on it!\u00a0This is another sensational layer to a sensational story, one almost impressive in how brazen it is. It is absolutely unbelievable, but also so grimly believable as to be inevitable.&#8221;<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3>CHECK OUT THIS WEEK&#8217;S WADE KELLER PRO WRESTLING POST-SHOW covering Monday Night Raw<\/h3>\n<p><strong>-On Stitcher <a href=\"https:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/us\/podcast\/wade-keller-pro-wrestling-post-show\/id1340490567?mt=2\">HERE<\/a><\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>-On Apple Podcasts <a href=\"https:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/us\/podcast\/wade-keller-pro-wrestling-post-show\/id1340490567?mt=2\">HERE<\/a><\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>-Or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stitcher.com\/podcast\/wade-keller-pro-wrestling-postshow\/e\/56978266?autoplay=true\">search &#8220;Wade Keller&#8221;<\/a> on your podcast app of choice<\/strong><\/p><div id=\"pwtor-2986301339\" class=\"pwtor-content pwtor-entity-placement\"><div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280 __336x280\" id=\"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"border: solid 1px #dedede;\" src=\"https:\/\/app.stitcher.com\/splayer\/f\/180002\/56960320\" width=\"100%\" height=\"220\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<div class=\"pwtor-end-article-groups pwtor-entity-placement\" id=\"pwtor-104939226\"><div id=\"pwtor-1237523166\"><div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280\" id=\"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\nTHANK YOU FOR VISITING<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>ADDENDUM:\u00a0As of mid-afternoon, Hulk Hogan has been removed from the page he was added to earlier today.
