Linda Hogan has accused the Emmy Awards of intentionally leaving her ex-husband Hulk Hogan out of their annual memorial tribute because of his conservative political beliefs. The wrestling legend died in July at 71 from a heart attack.

Linda pointed out that Hogan had achieved tremendous television success, consistently delivering the highest ratings for NBC during his wrestling career. She speculated that his appearance at the 2023 Republican National Convention may have influenced the decision to exclude him.

Hogan had a diverse entertainment career beyond wrestling, starring in films and the popular VH1 reality series 'Hogan Knows Best.' His recent public appearances had been met with mixed reactions due to his support for Donald Trump. The Television Academy has not provided any official explanation for his absence from the memorial segment.
