Hulk Hogan Talks Ferguson And Darren Wilson Using His Name, Michael Sam, WWE Rejecting NFL Players

As seen in the video above, TMZ caught up with Hulk Hogan at the Los Angeles airport this past Friday and asked him about the Ferguson trial. During grand jury testimony, Ferguson police officer Darren Wilson, who shot and killed unarmed teenager Michael Brown, described his confrontation with Brown and name dropped Hogan.

"When I grabbed him the only way I can describe it is I felt like a five-year-old holding onto Hulk Hogan, that's just how big he felt and how small I felt just from grasping his arm," Wilson said.

Hogan said that everyone needs to take a "timeout for a minute" and let cooler heads prevail. When asked where he stands on the situation, Hogan said that he was neutral.

"I'm neutral man," Hogan said. "I'm learning everyday, just like everybody else. We're gonna learn more about it."

TMZ also released the video below and asked Hogan about the Dallas Cowboys cutting Michael Sam and if Sam could have a future in pro wrestling. Hogan said that Sam may be able to make it, but essentially said that pro wrestling was a tougher business than pro football. Hogan noted that NFL greats Lyle Alzado, Bill Fralic and John Matuszak were trying to get into the business, but couldn't hack it.

"You gotta be able to work hurt," Hogan said. "You can't be taking a day off from wrestling because you twisted your pinkie if you're wrestling the main event at Madison Square Garden."
