Since the meeting with Hulk Hogan and the entire WWE locker room has taken place, many superstars have said to be 50/50 in terms of their feelings regarding Hogan being back in the WWE.
Titus O’Neil has made it clear that the WWE Hall of famer’s apology felt forced and insincere. The WWE RAW superstar was a guest on Busted Open Radio on Sirius XM Rush 93, and during the appearance, O’Neil went into deep detail regarding Hulk Hogan’s speech given to the WWE locker room at Extreme Rules.
O’Neil opened up about Hogan’s speech, which O’Neil passionately feels that it was “not an apology”, and furthered that he wanted to give Hogan a chance in the meeting, but when Hogan started the speech off with claiming he did not know he was being recorded when he made the racist remarks, that is when Hogan lost O’Neil.
O’Neil explained that he feels there is a big difference between a “mistake” and an “action”. The former WWE Tag Team champion said Hogan did not make a mistake, as Hogan claims, but that his offensive and racist remarks were an action, which requires more of an apology than what Hogan offered at Extreme Rules.
O’Neil states that the inconsistencies in Hogan’s apology, along with the lack of true remorse, is what made O’Neil and other WWE stars feel that the Extreme Rules meeting with Hogan was a “waste of time”.
