Chris Jericho Comments On Hulk Hogan's Racism Controversy

Chris Jericho appeared on HuffPost Post Live on Monday to promote tonight's season finale of Tough Enough on the USA Network.

Host Marc Lamont Hill asked Jericho about the Hulk Hogan racism controversy and Jericho defended his longtime friend, stating that "Hulk's not like that."

"[I'm] surprised, absolutely, because Hulk's not like that," Jericho said."But we all say things in stupid times, in stupid ways. I'm sure you have, I'm sure I have. Whether it be those type of comments or any type of comment that's not correct, that's not right. But I think it's one of those deals where, as a friend, you've got to stick by your friends in good times and bad times. I don't condone it, and I'm surprised, but a friend is a friend."

Jericho added that he reached out to Hogan shortly after the scandal broke and said Hogan understands the magnitude of what he did.

"You do feel a little bit let down. But I know this: Nobody feels more let down than he does," Jericho said.

"I think he feels very embarrassed and really bad about it."
