As you're now no doubt well aware, Hulk Hogan is going to be the host of the Crown Jewel PPV in Saudi Arabia. One of the most controversial figures in WWE after his racist comments went viral a few years back, it seems somewhat appropriate that he's been chosen to take charge of an event which has been mired in controversy for weeks now after a Washington Post journalist was murdered. 

According to Dave Meltzer, a commercial was put together for this Monday's episode of RAW which would have revealed plans for Hulk Hogan to host the event but that was scrapped at the last minute.

WWE later decided to quietly add Hogan to the event on their website but once that started getting noticed, his name was removed (presumably to keep this a "surprise" and to avoid any further negative publicity). He has, however, been confirmed to host Crown Jewel and it will be interesting seeing how fans respond to that over the coming days. What do you guys think? Share your thoughts below.
