WWE Hall of Famer Booker T is among those who want to see Hulk Hogan back with the company.

Booker addressed a report that Hogan is nearing a return to WWE on his "Heated Conversations" radio show, stating that he thinks Hogan is worthy of a second chance.

"The only thing Hogan can do is apologize, atone for it, and we move forward," Booker said, according to Joshua Gagnon of Wrestling Inc. "Everyone deserves a second chance that's just the way I am."

Hogan was fired from WWE in 2015 after racist comments he made became public. In an interview with TMZ Sports last month, Hogan acknowledged that he owes "all the wrestlers" an apology.

"I'm taking that 'word' and put it over to the side, and let that man take his rightful place back, which is in this business," Booker said. "I'm not going to take that away from him. I'm not going to sit here and say, 'No, he should be blackballed or blacklisted from the game, forevermore!' for saying something a lot of us say on a daily basis. I don't myself, but a lot of us do. Let this man who has done so much for the wrestling business truly take his rightful place back in the WWE."
