Decorated tag team star D-Von Dudley recently sat down for an interview on VLAD TV and talked about his feelings when he heard the racist comments from Hulk Hogan. D-Von said he was hurt since he grew up idolizing him.

“It hurt really bad. I idolized that man as a kid. And to hear that broke my heart. It was like, how do I even see him again and even respect him as a man? You know, it hurt until finally we did see each other and he knew I was a little standoffish with him,” he said.

D-Von said the situation weighed on him until they met again in Pittsburgh. Hogan again approached the WWE Hall of Famer and sought forgiveness.

Hogan asked him if he had ever been in a bad place and said things that he regretted later D-Von agreed with him and told him that he forgives him but won’t forget.

“I remember looking at him going, ‘Yeah.’ He was like, ‘Well, that’s how I felt.’ He goes, ‘When it was done, that’s how I felt.’ And then we walked away from each other. We come back, and I tell him, I say, ‘Hulk, I forgive you. I don’t forget it, but I forgive you,'” he said.

Hulk Hogan was booed on his last WWE appearance

Even though Hulk Hogan apologized publicly for his racist comments, the incident hung over his life.

The Immortal One was invited to be a part of RAW’s debut on Netflix in January last year. However, as he made his way to the stage, he was heavily booed by the live audience due to his past racist comments.

The WWE icon passed away on July 24, 2025, after suffering a heart attack at his home in Clearwater, Florida.
