    DIRECT LINK: Update On Hulk Hogan’s Future With WWE/TNA, WWE HOF & WMXXX

  • Update On Hulk Hogan’s Future With WWE/TNA, WWE Hall of Fame & WM30

    With Hulk Hogan currently a free agent, most people within WWE believe that he’ll wind up back with TNA. That said, there is still interest in negotiating with Hogan to bring him in for WrestleMania XXX. At the end of the day, it’s going to come down to how much money TNA is willing to offer him.

    There are plans to induct either Randy Savage or the Ultimate Warrior into the WWE Hall of Fame. In the event that either man is inducted, WWE wants Hulk Hogan to induct them.

    WWE wants a big legend to be part of a match at WrestleMania, to help make the 30th anniversary show feel special and to help keep the buyrate over 1 million buys. With The Rock and Steve Austin most likely not wrestling, WWE could make Hogan a strong offer to get him on board. Last year’s WrestleMania numbers came in lower than expected and the feeling is that The Rock’s drawing power has diminished.

    If WWE’s unable to get either Hogan, Rock or Austin to wrestle, another selling point for the show could be hyping the Undertaker’s match as his retirement match.

  • Iron Sheik Interview: Hogan Returning To WWE, Warrior In The Hall of Fame & More

    Ring Rust Radio with Iron Sheik
    Host: Donald Wood
    Audio available at Blogtalkradio.com/ringrustradio

    On his proudest moment: “Everybody know nobody beat Mr. Bob Backlund until Iron Sheik come to the most famous arena in the world Madison Square Garden. I do my camel clutch and I almost break his neck and I become champion. My manager, God bless him, Mr. Fred Blassie, he know I make it that night.”

    On Hogan potentially returning to WWE and the fact that Hogan is still such a big part of the business: “Hulk Hogan guitar player. He not Iron Sheik. Everybody know they never be the Hulkamania without Iron Sheik. I was biggest heel in the world and I put him over. He know I could break his leg and bring the belt to Minnesota but I never cut the hand that feed me. Mr McMahon Sr., he know I am the real and he always help me become the legend and still to this day I respect my company WWE.”

    On Ultimate Warrior potentially being inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame: “Ultimate Warrior is a low life, piece of shit, freak no good mother——. He make hall of fame for biggest piece of shit hall of fame. He never be in my class. None of the boys respect him because he never treat people in the ring with the respect. I think he is a punk. I think he is jabroni and he can go f— himself forever.”

    On whether he thought the WrestleMania gimmick battle royal would have staying power: “You know, I always come back to WWE and they know I am the real legend. I not the Hillbilly Jim or the jabroni Bushwhacker. I come and I show that I tough man, still for my age I look good.”

    On how he initially felt when wrestling was removed from the Olympic program, and his reaction now that it has been reinstated: “I very very happy. The Chael Sonnen my good friend and the legend we work very very hard to let the wrestling in the Olympic again. They let the jabroni sport like the javelin or the walking become sport and I think they big time jabroni sports. They know oldest sport in the world is the wrestling. They know I always be ready to shop my heart for my sport. I happy, bubba.”

    On being a member of both the WWE and NWA Hall of Fame and which accomplishment he holds more precious: WWE or WWF give me everything I have from my wrestling day. Mr McMahon is like the emperor or the Rome. He help me become the legend. NWA, still I love, but still not like the WWE.

  • Video Of John Cena Twerking & Talking About His Surprise Return, Hogan In A Thong

    During an interview with Showbiz Tonight to promote WWE’s Rise Above Cancer campaign, John Cena spoke about returning to action months ahead of schedule as well as Hulk Hogan’s recent “Wrecking Ball” parody video, where he wore a thong.

    Cena also showed off his “Twerking” skills during the video interview.

    Here are some highlights of what John Cena said about:

    Hulk Hogan Wearing A Thong In A Viral Internet Video:  “So the commercial starts, and I’m seeing Hulk Hogan on the wrecking ball and he’s using his legendary and iconic do-rag, sunglasses, fu manchu, boa. He kicks the guy in the face, I’m like, ‘you know what, that’s a good…’ No, no, and then it all goes wrong. That’s a little too much, they should have stopped at the boot to the face, brother.”

    VIDEO of Hulk Hogan Wearing A Thong For The Hostamania Commercial

    Returning At Hell in a Cell: “October 27th, I know I’m ready, I’ve had a wonderful surgeon, I’ve had a wonderful physical therapy crew. I’ve been really diligent and really on track to get back early. I feel great, the doctors are happy with everything… I’m really, really excited, I thought I was going to be off until past Christmas but now I can get back in the WWE Universe and do what I love.”

    If He’s Returning Too Soon: “It’s not just my opinion here, it’s the opinion of the WWE medical staff, my surgeon, my physical therapist. I had to clear it with all those people. I’m cleared, I’m ready to go, and on October 27th I’ll be as ready and as strong as I’ve ever been.”

    Here’s video of the interview segment, including John Cena twerking:

  • Hulk Hogan Does Promotional Interview For This Week’s Impact Wrestling Taping

    Pro wrestling legend Hulk Hogan, who “quit” TNA on last week’s taped edition of Impact Wrestling on Spike TV, recently did a promotional interview for this week’s TNA television taping in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

    While Hogan mentioned that he may not be at the taping this week, it is a bit curious when stepping outside of the storylines and analyzing the real-life contract situation with Hogan and TNA, considering the fact that Hogan’s contract reportedly expired on October 1st, and he is still promoting future TNA events.

    Hogan, who played up his television feud with company president Dixie Carter, told the Tulsa World recently, “I think Dixie has flipped the switch or something, she’s off on a tangent here.”

    Additionally, Hogan spoke as if he is still part of the behind-the-scenes effort to build the current TNA television product by saying, “It’s an artform and a lot of the artform has been lost because the TV demands that things happen fast and get out of the ring. So we’re trying to make wrestling how it should be.”

  • Austin Aries Talks About Hogan’s TNA Departure, Never Working For WWE

    TNA star Austin Aries was recently interviewed by Mike Mooneyham of The Post and Courier and spoke about never getting the opportunity to work for WWE:

    “I don’t worry about that. They’ve had opportunities to sign me, and for whatever reason or measuring stick they were using, they didn’t see fit to give me an opportunity. I don’t know all the ins and outs of those decisions, and I don’t really dwell on it.”

    He also commented on Hulk Hogan’s departure from TNA:

    “Hogan is doing whatever’s good for Hogan … just like he’s done his whole career and just like he should continue to do. And if that means staying with TNA, great. If that means going to some other venture, then I wish him all the luck.”

  • Jim Ross Blog: WWE Battleground Predictions, Hulk Hogan Returning To WWE?, Pillman

    The following are highlights from the latest online blog by WWE Hall Of Famer Jim Ross:

    On the late Brian Pillman: “My friend Brian Pillman died on this day in 1997 at the age of 35. I think of Brian every day in some fashion. Brian was obsessed with pro wrestling, amazingly unpredictable, and a classic, athletic overachiever. Brian could be described as “brilliantly crazy” and an “athletic, wild man” and one wouldn’t get an argument from too many folks that knew Brian well. I helped him get his break in WCW bringing him in from Calgary and also hired him to come to WWE.”

    “The story of Brian planning on chaining himself to the goalpost at a Super Bowl is true. The Cincinnati native felt it would garner him global publicity and certify him as a legit, crazy man.”

    “I still remember to this minute where I was standing in the arena in St. Louis when I got the news of his untimely passing. A heartbreaking day.”

    On Hulk Hogan possibly returning to WWE: “I’m unaware if Hulk Hogan has legitimately left TNA or not and don’t have a dog in that hunt but if he has then Hogan returning to WWE in a part time, marketing based role isn’t out of the question strictly in my opinion. That’s without me having any inside knowledge whatsoever, however, Hogan in the right role, at the right dollar figure would be good for WWE business interests on a variety of fronts and none of them include Hogan wrestling, again, in my opinion.”

    “Hulk reuniting, in some form, with The Warrior at the 2014 WWE Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony along with the induction of Randy Savage would be a uniquely themed event and add a great deal of sizzle to the ceremony and the DVD of the event. Again, this is mere speculation as I am not in the WWE loop nor have I spoken to anyone about this matter. Just wearing my booking ‘hat’…no pun intended.”

    On his predictions for WWE Battleground: “King will wear a T Shirt and JBL will lay his hat wrong side up on the announce desk. Michael Cole will navigate the broadcast which is easier to do than RAW’s. Would enjoy a little more conflict between JBL and the King. Hope the broadcasters have a great night and the freedom to create and follow the video.”

    “Daniel Bryan wins the WWE Title or so I feel that he needs to win the WWE Title. Cups of coffee, by the way, with the most prized championship in WWE doesn’t count or help anyone in a significant manner. (The WWE think tank has to be planning WM30 and each PPV prior to April 2014 is pivitol.) The underdog winning and giving his fans ‘hope’ seems logical.”

    “ADR WINS VS RVD VIA TAP.”

    “I think that Punk slips past Ryback but Punk doesn’t get his hands on Paul Heyman in any significant manner. However, Ryback winning wouldn’t be a shocker. UK wagerers beware. Perhaps you can secure some ‘insider info.’”

    “Don’t see AJ Lee losing the Divas Title as she’s the top Diva in WWE, reality show or not. Beating AJ does not make sense to me which is why she could lose upon further review. Surprises for surprise sake isn’t always the wise decision.”

    “With no tag titles at stake, at least from what I gather, and the Rhodes Family’s jobs on the line, I expect the heroes to prevail in this one against the Shield. This should be a helluva match and I’d damn near smile (Think Bell’s palsy) if the Dream hit just one bionic elbow.”

    “Cutis Axel retains the tepid, IC Title against R Truth in a bout more suited for RAW than PPV. It will be interesting it these two perform in an attempted, show stealing, PPV level or perform as if they are on a weekly TV show. Maximize those minutes.”

    “Bray Wyatt will walk out of Battle Ground and Kofi Kingston likely will not. That doesn’t mean that Kofi will lose but he should if the Wyatt Family are at ringside.”

  • Who Was Behind The Ryback/Paul Heyman ‘Proposal’ Angle?, Masked Men In Wrestling History, More

    – On Monday’s Raw, it was teased that Paul Heyman wanted to marry Ryback after being “saved” by the former Skip Sheffield at Night of Champions. Instead, Heyman proposed that he become the latest “Paul Heyman Guy.” Vince McMahon was behind a shock tactic taking place on the program, as he made it clear to members of the writing staff that they feature “a spectacle” to lure viewers of ESPN’s Monday Night Football away during halftime. An unnamed creative writer then pitched the idea of teasing Heyman asking Ryback his hand in marriage.

    – On the heels of Monday’s debut of Los Matadores, the official website of WWE has published a photo gallery highlighting the numerous masked individuals in the history of professional wrestling. A wide range of masked wrestlers are showcased, including Rey Mysterio, Mr. America, Sin Cara, Aldo Montoya, Blitzkrieg, Golga, The Midnight Rider, and Konnan as Max Moon.

    – In recent WWE attendance figures: Sept. 27 in Denver, Colorado, drew 5,500; Sept. 28 in Dallas, Texas, drew 9,000; Sept. 28 in Huntsville, Alabama drew 4,000; Sept. 29 in New Orleans, Louisiana, drew 5,000.

    – On Monday’s edition of TMZ on TV, wrestling fanatic Ryan Satin donned an “Employ Joey Ryan 2013” T-Shirt. This led to a debate over who is a bigger celebrity, Paris Hilton or Hulk Hogan.

  • Hulk Hogan No Longer Under Contract With TNA, AJ Styles Update

    – AJ Styles’ current TNA deal runs through December after recently signing a short-term contract extension. The two sides will discuss extending the agreement after Bound for Glory.

    – Hulk Hogan is now officially a free agent after his TNA contract expired yesterday. The two sides are currently in negotiations about Hogan’s future and of course, it will come down to the almighty dollar. With TNA releasing a slew of talent this year, losing truckloads of money by taking Impact on the road and owing many of their employees backpay – one of the biggest stories of the year will be whether TNA can cough up enough dough to keep Hogan on board.

    Thursday’s Impact will feature Hulk Hogan’s response to Dixie Carter and whether he’s on “Team Dixie” or not.

  • History Of Hogan & Dixie’s Rocky Relationship, TNA “Ethan” Promo Video, Brooke

    – Thursday’s taped episode of Impact Wrestling will feature another face-to-face confrontation between Hulk Hogan and Dixie Carter in what could be Hogan’s final appearance for the promotion. To hype the angle, the official TNA website has published a “video history” of Hulk & Dixie’s rocky on-air relationship. [View Here]

    Since this week’s Impact Wrestling episode is all about Hulk Hogan and Dixie Carter facing off in the ring, TNA’s website has been pushing a lot of videos about their past together to build to the angle, which may end up being Hogan’s final appearance for the company.

    – Former TNA performer Brooke Hogan was recently interviewed by Athens Online and said she’s been in Athens, GA to film a” paranormal reality series” called, Weird America.

    “I’m actually personally interested in this show because I have a little bit of history with a psychic background, kind of a sixth sense-type thing,” Hogan said. “I’ve had a few different experiences in my life that have made me a little bit more curious, and I want to find out more about it.”

    She also mentioned that she’s been in Nashville, Tennessee recording new music.

    – TNA has published the following video hyping that “Ethan” is coming to Impact Wrestling:

    There is some speculation that the Ethan that’s coming to TNA is independent wrestler Ethan HD, who wrestles for Championship Wrestling From Hollywood. While we can’t confirm that Ethan HD is headed to TNA, he’s certainly playing into the rumors. Last Thursday, the night the first “Ethan Is Coming” video aired on TNA Impact Wrestling, Ethan HD tweeted:

    “…and I’m just sittin’ here whistlin’ Dixie.”

  • WWE Hall Of Famer Describes Vince McMahon As A Boss, Talks Hulk Hogan/MSG

    The following are highlights from a recent interview with WWE Hall Of Famer “The Million Dollar Man” Ted DiBiase:

    On being the first wrestler to work with Hulk Hogan at Madison Square Garden: “At that time Hulk was just coming into the business and I had been in the business longer than him. At that particular time Hulk Hogan wasn’t the babyface he was the heel managed by Fred Blassie and I was the babyface. I was having my last match in the WWF at the time and they wanted me as his first opponent. I was very grateful to Vince for his faith in me, when I went to him and asked him what he wanted to do he told me to do anything because he knew I would do it right. I put Hogan over as a heel in his first match at the Garden and he never forgot that.”

    On Vince McMahon as a boss: “I got along fine with Vince (laughs). It was kind of like a love hate relationship at times, and Vince said this to me a long time ago and I think he says it to everybody, ‘we can agree to disagree’, he doesn’t expect people to be yes men, if you don’t agree with him it’s not going to piss him off and he’s not going to fire you, but he added, ‘because we’re spending my money whether you like it or not we’re going to do what I want to do.’ I haven’t always agreed with what Vince did, I was not a big fan of the Attitude Era, but for the most part we wouldn’t be having this conversation if it wasn’t for what Vince McMahon did for me and did for wrestling.”

  • Spoiler: More Details On Major TNA Name Possibly Leaving The Company

    As previously reported, Hulk Hogan may have been written off of TNA television during the tapings for next week’s edition of Impact Wrestling, which were filmed on Thursday night in Little Rock, Arkansas.

    For those who missed it, the main event angle for next week’s show will see Hulk Hogan respond to the ultimatum given to him by Dixie Carter on this week’s live Impact Wrestling broadcast. Hogan ultimately “quits the company,” with Dixie on her knees begging him to stay as the show goes off the air.

    According to one source, this could be an attempt by TNA to simply swerve the audience, as Hogan, whose contract is up next Tuesday, may have already signed a new deal with the company. This could be TNA’s way of milking the real-life drama going on right now in the company, with so many contracts expiring and name-talent parting ways with the promotion.

    If Hogan has re-signed, the feeling is that running this angle would seem very real, due to the aforementioned situation with so many high-profile talents leaving due to the inability to come to terms with the company on new agreements.

    If a new deal between Hogan and TNA has not been reached, then the angle shot on Thursday’s television tapings will in fact be Hogan’s swansong.

  • Spoiler: Hulk Hogan’s TNA Future Revealed

    TNA shot an angle during the live edition of Impact Wrestling on Thursday night that saw the now heel president of the company, Dixie Carter, give Hulk Hogan an ultimatum. Carter informed Hogan that he had one week to decide if he was with her or not. Obviously the one week is up in real-time, as next week’s Impact Wrestling was taped immediately after the live show in Little Rock, Arkansas on Thursday night.

    During the main event segment of the show taped for next week’s Spike TV broadcast, Hogan “quit” the promotion, with Carter on her knees begging him to stay. According to reports, Thursday’s set of TNA tapings was the final contractually obligated televised appearance of Hogan, whose contract expires in October. While Hogan and TNA are reportedly still negotiating a new deal, apparently the angle was shot as a possible send-off for the legendary star.

    As has been reported many times recently, TNA is in the middle of a major financial evaluation of all sides of the company, which has resulted in the departure of talents recently such as Ken Anderson and Mickie James, as well as the stalling of contract negotiations of AJ Styles. Also reported recently is the fact that Jeff Jarrett has been working in the TNA offices more lately. Jarrett was also backstage at the TNA television tapings on Thursday night. Whether or not this is TNA preparing for life after Hogan remains to be seen, however, the angle shot for next week’s television is certainly interesting considering everything that is going on right now.

    We should have more information on the next few days.

  • ECW, Hulk Hogan Films Added To First Annual “Rocks Off Pro Wrestling Film Festival”

    SESCOOPS.COM reader Kevin Gill sent along the following:

    The first annual Rocks Off Pro Wrestling Film Festival is proud to announce two additional films that will screen as part of our celebration of pro wrestling this November at the Kraine Theater in New York City:
    Special NYC Screening!

    SADERMANIA (2013, Director Adam Gacka)

    SATURDAY November 23rd – 11 AM, Doors 10:30 AM

    Even if you have a passing casual reflection on the world of professional wrestling, you know who the red & yellow emblazoned Hulk Hogan is. Icon of the 1980s national wrestling explosion, Hogan remains one of the most well known celebrities of his era, parlaying that into reality TV, feature films and much more. But, despite the hype, the prayers, the training, the vitamins and the larger than life persona he’s cultivated, Hulk Hogan is just another mortal man – but one that has inspired countless others with his exploits.

    There is perhaps no one in the world more moved than Chris Sader, the world’s number one Hulkamaniac. SADERMANIA tells the story of their inspirational tale, as Sader and Hogan relate how they met and developed a bond through mutual struggles and personal loss that each would have faced alone if not for the unlikely friendship that develops between them.

    What happens when fan befriends his hero? That’s the power of SADERMANIA.

    Time to Get Extreme!

    BARBED WIRE CITY (2013, Directors John Philapavage & Kevin Kiernan)

    SATURDAY November 23rd – 4 PM Doors 3:30 PM

    “The Most Accurate Telling of the ECW Story” – Joey Styles, the voice of Extreme Championship Wrestling

    Utilizing a recipe of over the top theatrics, balls to the wall violence and vibrant characterizations so deep they cut to the bone and an audience so passionate they became part of the show, Extreme Championship Wrestling (ECW) exemplified the excess of its era, becoming the punk rock pro wrestling product.

    So what happens when a wrestling promotion so steeped in originality sees its concepts poached by larger, international companies with a far wider audience and far deeper pockets? Co-Directors John Philapavage and Kevin Kiernan’s critically acclaimed documentary digs deep into the psyche and history of the ECW culture to examine what made it tick, why so many lived and died by the initials and what happened to these hard-living, hard-performing eclectic personalities when ECW ceased to exist.

    Often compared to Nirvana’s influence on music, ECW changed the professional wrestling landscape as well as the lives of its performers and fans forever. BARBED WIRE CITY took a decade to film and complete in order to provide a final epitaph on the gravestone of the only pro wrestling promotion in history that saw it’s audience rescue it from the brink of oblivion…and then resurrect it.

    Following Barbed Wire City’s screening, Co-Directors John Philapavage & Kevin Kiernan, Strictly ECW Fan campaign leader Tony Lewis and a number of performers from the original ECW will be on hand for a special Q&A discussion on the film and legacy of ECW.

  • Magnus Speaks On Dixie Carter Noticing His Talent, Looking Up To Angle/Sting/Hogan

    The following are highlights from a recent interview with TNA Impact Wrestling star Magnus:

    On talents he looked up to before getting into the business: “I looked up to Kurt in particular when I decided to be a pro wrestler, and Sting and Hulk Hogan are both characters that captured my imaginations as a kid, but never in my wildest dreams did I imagine I would be working alongside them by the time I made it to a high enough level.”

    “I always dreamed of wrestling Kurt Angle, but even that was a pipe dream. So the fact that I’ve wrestled Sting and Kurt and appeared with Hulk is still surreal to me and means so much. But then to hear them publicly endorse me is one of the most gratifying feelings I have ever had. Sting was the first major name to speak up for me, and Kurt has been a supporter of mine for a long time. He’s a wonderful guy and I am so appreciative of all he has done for me and the business.”

    On Dixie Carter seeing something in him early on: “Dixie saw something in me before anyone else, so in terms of how things are going for me now, I’m proud of myself and forever grateful for her for her support. I was determined not to let her down. Anytime someone takes a chance with me, I will do my absolute best to return on that faith. It was the same thing when Richard Woolfe [the former head of Sky 1] saw something in me for Gladiators that the other producers did not. And it will be the same for anyone else that sees something in me: I’ll deliver.”
