Dennis Rodman, the former NBA player who turned nWo and wrestled with Hulk in WCW, leaped to the Hulkster’s defense following the tidal wave of bad news that hit Hogan hard today.

“I’ve known @HulkHogan for 25 years. Here he is hanging with Kylin in NJ. There isn’t a racist bone in that mans body,” Rodman tweeted along with a video.

Rodman wrestled with Hulk in 1997 taking on Lex Luger and The Giant at the Bash at the Beach event and the following year he teamed up with Hogan again to take on DDP and Karl Malone. In 2008 he joined Hogan’s Celebrity Championship Wrestling reality show and eventually won the series.

Rodman then tweeted to fellow former NBA players Scottie Pippen, Magic Johnson, Shaquille O’Neal, and boxing legend Mike Tyson to show their support to Hulk.
