Hulk Hogan is the WWE. Hulk Hogan has been the face of Professional Wrestling for more than 30 years. Hulk Hogan is coming back.

The WWE star Hulk Hogan took his licks from Andre the Giant, Rowdy Roddy Piper, and The Rock. But the worst lick he ever took was from a leaked sex tape.

Hulk Hogan, WWE Hall of Fame wrestler, has been hit, knocked down and received all kinds of physical abuse. But none of this hurt Hulk Hogan they way a sex tape that was released via TMZ in 2010 that showed the Hulk getting down with Heather Clem,  the wife of his "loyal" friend, the Florida radio personality Bubba The Love Sponge.

Hulk Hogan, the wrestling legend, opened up to HuffPost Live's Marc Lamont Hill about the friend who filmed and leaked  a tape of Hogan having sex. Hogan said "It was a tough situation. It's probably the hardest I've ever been kicked, bar none. But at the end of the day it's all about choices."

Hogan says he's forgiven his friend, Hulk is not about hating. He said "I got a call from TMZ and they told me everything. In legal settings [we've talked]. Look, I understand people, and for whatever reason I forgive him and I forgive myself for the choices we made. But I can't hate brother, it's not my deal."

Hulk Hogan returned to the WWE in February. Hogan is set to host WrestleMania XXX. The media reports there will be a 30-man battle to commemorate the 30 years of WrestleMania. 

Hulk Hogan, WWE legend, got his autographed shoe back.

Hulk Hogan's autographed, $5500 shoe was stolen but was eventually returned two days later.

The Clearwater Police Department is investigating a 55-year-old Trenton woman for allegedly stealing an autographed wrestling shoe worn by Hulk Hogan. The autographed memento was taken from Hulk Hogan's shop.

Last Sunday at about 5:20 p.m. four women walked into Hulk Hogan's Beach Shop. Store workers were temporarily distracted a few minutes later when a large statue of Hulk Hogan fell over outside the property. While the store workers tended to the fallen statue, a woman took Hogan's autographed shoe and fled.

The theft was caught by the store's security camera, but the store workers didn't realize Hulk Hogan's shoe was gone until Tuesday. Employees watched the security film and called police.

Hulk Hogan filed a police complaint under his real name Terry Gene Bollea, according to the police report.
Clearwater, Florida, police say the woman says she "had done a stupid thing." The woman who stole Hulk Hogan's shoe went back to Michigan but left the shoe behind and arranged for someone to return it to the store.

The woman's name was not released. Police said no charges have been filed but the woman has been identified and the investigation is ongoing.
