Vince McMahon defended his 2018 decision to reinstate Hulk Hogan to WWE following a racial slur scandal. McMahon, himself recently ousted from WWE, stated Hogan "paid the price" for his comments and wasn't inherently racist, despite the severity of the offense. While acknowledging the unforgivable nature of Hogan's words, McMahon emphasized that everyone makes mistakes. The decision to initially sever ties with Hogan was unavoidable, but McMahon believed Hogan had redeemed himself. McMahon also expressed disappointment at not being involved in Hogan's tributes following his death.
