Was it really because Vince was in deep doodie with the feds over steroids, and Vince wanted to job Hogan out to bret and then phase out large muscular wrestlers?

Hogan departed the WWF two months later after a series of bouts against Yokozuna on the Hulkamania European tour. An impending steroid scandal led to Vince McMahon deciding to phase out large, muscular wrestlers such as Hogan and give the top spots to smaller, more technically sound wrestlers such as Bret Hart and Shawn Michaels. After Hogan left the WWF, he decided to take time off from professional wrestling to concentrate on movies, TV, and his family.
In June 1994, Hogan was expensively lured back to the ring by Ted Turner's World Championship Wrestling, which was the WWF's main competitor at the time.
Hope this answers your question...

Yes, Hogan went on the stand and basically saved Mcmahons ***, then Mcmahon turned on him as soon as the case was thrown out of court, causing him to go to WCW.
Hogan is Overrated anyway

He didn't want to pass the torch to Bret Hart.

because he appeared in the movie "ROCKY or ROCKY II" and the chairman said that pro wrestlers should never appear in movies so the chairman fired him.
