Vince McMahon, the embattled ex-chairman of WWE, recalled Hulk Hogan’s last appearance on the famed wrestling company’s airwaves and the anger he had over the reaction the Los Angeles crowd gave the Hulkster.

Vince McMahon defended his decision to bring Hulk Hogan back to the WWE after the late wrestling star was exposed for using a racial slur in 2015. McMahon, 79, addressed the controversy surrounding Hogan's comments during a new special on the late WWE star, who died July 24 after suffering a heart attack at his home in Clearwater, Fla.

In a new interview, ex- WWE CEO Vince McMahon argues the late Hulk Hogan, once infamously heard on tape describing himself as “racist to a point” and using the N-word, “wasn't a racist” but “said some racist things.”
