WrestleMania 40 is only ten days away, and the speculation and reports about WWE's plan for the show of shows is not slowing down at all.

It is now being reported that WWE is talking about having Hulk Hogan do something at WrestleMania 40. It is not known what their intention is, but the Hulkster may be at the showcase of the immortals this year.

Hulk Hogan at WrestleMania 40

PW Insider reports that WWE is currently talking about bringing Hulk Hogan on board for WrestleMania 40 weekend. Although it's not expected that Hogan will be part of any storylines or angles, WWE is looking to have him show up at some point during the event's activities.

Hulk Hogan has played host of WrestleMania in the past. We will have to see what role they give him this year, if he can make the journey to Philly. As of this writing, WWE has not announced any host for WrestleMania yet.

More Legends At WrestleMania 40

WWE has also reportedly reached out to Steve Austin about an appearance at WrestleMania 40. As of this writing, we do not know if The Texas Rattlesnake has accepted that invitation.

John Cena has already stated that he has time off for WrestleMania. It was also reported that the 16x World Champion wants to do something for the show of shows this year.

Controversy Surrounding Hulk Hogan

In July 2015, National Enquirer and Radar Online released details of a leaked sex tape from 2007 in which Hulk Hogan made offensive comments. He expressed strong disapproval of his daughter dating a black man, using racial slurs in the recording, including the N-word. He also admitted to being "a racist, to a point."

Hogan has gone on to apologize for those comments, citing that he was going through a very difficult part of his life when that recording was made. He has made select returns to WWE since then, but he has not established himself as a weekly face on television since.
