Hulk Hogan has been reinstated into the WWE Hall of Fame.
The 64-year-old wrestling legend was removed from WWE's Hall of Fame in 2015 following the publication of a transcript taken from a sex tape recording revealed him using the "N-word" during a conversation about his daughter Brooke's then-boyfriend.
Hogan also had his contract with WWE terminated, his merchandise pulled from online stores and all mentions of him taken off the brand's official website.
However, the company has decided to reinstate Hogan after "numerous public apologies".
WWE said in a statement on its website: "After a three-year suspension, Hulk Hogan has been reinstated into the WWE Hall of Fame. This second chance follows Hogan's numerous public apologies and volunteering to work with young people, where he is helping them learn from his mistake”
