  • Hogan Appears On American Idol, Hardy Denies Marriage Rumor

    — TNA Wrestling Superstar Hulk Hogan made a surprise appearance on tonight’s American Idol results show.

    Following a segment from the Idol Mansion concerning contestant James Durbin’s professional wrestling fanship (which featured the finalist doing an imitation of WWE Superstar The Miz), Hogan appeared in person to inform him that he was safe from elimination and had made it into the top ten.

    Hogan then told Ryan Seacrest that he “wasn’t safe” and threw a worked punch at him with the Idol host pretending to be knocked out. Hogan then tore off his shirt while Durbin cut a wrestling style spiel.

    — Matt Hardy is denying that he is engaged to be married to Lucha Libre USA: Masked Warriors personality Reby Sky, a former Playboy model. He claims that it was a joke.

    “To set the record straight-6/17 is our 6 month anniversary as a couple & we joked about gettin married-Which some peeps took very serious,” he wrote. “And besides, I probably wouldn’t ever be able to marry someone as beautiful, lovely, sweet, wonderful, & talented as Reby Sky anyway.”

    Sky was asked on her Formspring account if she was marrying Hardy and she replied yes (with no hint of joking), including the wedding date. The message has since been deleted and she is now saying that she is not engaged.

  • Hulk Hogan Says He’s Now In Charge Of TNA Creative

    We reported earlier this week that Eric Bischoff recently received a promotion in TNA and is now the executive producer of TNA programming. In another sign that the Bischoff-Hogan regime is on solid ground in TNA with more power in the company than virtually anybody, Hulk Hogan is now claiming that he took control of TNA’s creative process three weeks ago.

    Hogan had an online exchange this week with former WWE superstar Kizarny, who was asking Hogan why he never got a job opportunity in TNA. Hogan responded:

    HulkHogan4Real
    @SiNNbODHi just took over creative 3weeks ago,shoot. Now I understand why nobody is using you HH

    Update: A TNA source we contacted this week was unaware about any formal shakeups with the TNA creative team, so for now, it’s just Hogan’s word on this.

  • Hulk Hogan Apologizes For Insensitive Tsunami Comments

    At Monday night’s TNA iMPACT! tapings from Orlando, Hulk Hogan made some comments to the live crowd about members of the TNA roster wanting to join his “tsunami” – which is of course in ridiculously bad taste following the earthquake and tsunami in Japan that has claimed upwards of 10,000 lives.

    Hulk Hogan posted the following on his Twitter account, apologizing for the remarks:

    “The tsunami of wrestling wasn’t cool,it will never air,it’s already cut out,but when your cuttin promos old school and not following a Script like the other robots will no skills, sometimes you make mistakes. I’m sorry,I was on a roll and made a mistake.nothing but love and Total respect for Japan, but you guys already know that. I totally apologize. keepin it real HH4Life.Much respect,love for Japan HH”

    Based on what we’re hearing, the line was not scripted by TNA’s writers and was a sample of the improv stylings of Hulk Hogan. Hogan knocks script writers in his apology, but appears pretty oblivious to what happens when wrestlers go “old school” and say the first thing that pops in their head. D’oh!

  • Hogan Comments On Hardy, Hardy Advertised For Shows

    — Hulk Hogan responded to a fan on Twitter who suggested that TNA Wrestling get rid of Jeff Hardy because he has a “problem that needs to be sorted out.”

    “Brother, we’re trying to get everything straightened out,” Hogan replied. “I feel bad about some of the situations that have to be dealt with.”

    — Following this week’s iMPACT! tapings in Orlando, Florida TNA Wrestling is back on tour on Friday in Jacksonville, Florida, and Saturday in Savannah, Georgia. Jeff Hardy is billed as the top star for the event. Other talent scheduled to appear include Jeff Jarrett, Matt Hardy, Mick Foley, AJ Styles and Scott Steiner, among others.

    — Mickie James is scheduled to appear at the CMA Music Festival in Nashville, Tennessee in June, according to her official website, MickieJames.com.

  • Honky Tonk Man Says Hulk Hogan Is On His Way Out Of TNA

    After saying that a behind the scenes player in TNA Wrestling was defecting for World Wrestling Entertainment, which was later confirmed as Jimmy Hart, The Honky Tonk Man is claiming that Hulk Hogan is on his way out of the organization. He wrote the following on his Facebook account:

    “HTM has been told Hogan will bolt to WWE if asked. Sources within TNA have said Hogan will leave (Eric Bischoff) behind like a rat. Hogan is on his way out of TNA. Dixie has had to advance Flair money to pay his debts. Strange things are happening at TNA! Hogan’s TNA contract is results and incentive based. Either party can walk anytime. HTM said it first Hogan is on the way out.”

    Regarding Jimmy Hart, he is not expected to be in Jerry Lawler’s corner for his match against Michael Cole at WrestleMania XXVII. Hogan backed off his prior claim, saying on Twitter that it was “just a guess” and that he hadn’t talked to Hart in over a month.

  • Bischoff Receives New Role In TNA, Reaction To Hart’s Departure

    — Eric Bischoff recently accepted a position as an executive producer for TNA Wrestling. One of his duties is to represent the organization in their various dealings with Spike TV executives.

    Bischoff and his production company partner Jason Hervey are also producing Micro Championship Wrestling, a reality show recently acquired by truTV. Hulk Hogan participated in a television taping yesterday in Tampa, Florida.

    — Jimmy Hart parting ways with TNA Wrestling for World Wrestling Entertainment last week is not considered a big loss within the Nashville based organization.

    Hart was described as being Hulk Hogan’s assistant when the two went on the road, and he had some duties at television tapings in Orlando, Florida. While Hogan hasn’t bashed the WWE Hall of Famer publicly, many feel he’s hurt by his decision to leave since Hart left without notice.

    Earlier this week, it was reported that WWE Hall of Famer Jimmy Hart is leaving TNA Wrestling to appear for WWE at WrestleMania weekend. Hogan tweeted the following about what Hart willb e doing at WrestleMania:

    “I think it’s great for Jim Hart to go back to the WWE as Jerry Lawler’s manager at WrestleMania.”

  • Hogan Looking To Return To The Ring, Fairplay Looking For Work

    — Hulk Hogan returned to TNA Wrestling at last Thursday’s TNA iMPACT! taping in Fayetteville, North Carolina wearing a back brace due to his numerous surgeries. Hogan was telling people he’s not dealing with as much pain as he has in the past. Monday on Twitter, a fan asked him about the possibility of wrestling one final match and he said that he would like return to the ring by the end of the year. A company source reports that Hogan discussed returning to the ring at last Thursday’s taping.

    — Angelina Pivarnick was not the only reality television star on hand for last Thursday’s TNA iMPACT! taping in Fayetteville, North Carolina as former Survivor contestant Jonny Fairplay also attended the event. He was looking for work. Talk regarding his behavior was favorable and company officials appeared receptive to using him again. However, that’s been in the case in the past and he still has yet to return. Hulk Hogan said they’ll get back to him.

    Fairplay was under contract to the organization in 2004 and 2005, but did little of note because the Jeff Jarrett led creative team didn’t think he was talented. Company president Dixie Carter was said to be his major backer.

  • Hulk Hogan & DDP Starring In “Black River” Movie (Video)

    Hulk Hogan and Diamond Dallas Page will both star in the independent thriller “Black River,” set to be released later this year.

    Here’s the official synopsis from IMDB.com:

    “After losing his son to a tragic accident, Clayton Elie’s [Diamond Dallas Page] life was destroyed by alcohol abuse and violence that ended his marriage. When he moves to the small Midwestern town of Black River in an attempt to begin again, he finds himself at the center of a series of murders that echo a long dormant secret from the town’s past. After several sleepless nights that lead to a long night of heavy drinking and a subsequent blackout, Clayton awakens the next morning to find his neighbor and her small child brutally murdered and the murder weapon inside his apartment. When he is forced to hide the evidence by the untimely arrival of an FBI profiler, Clayton’s life rapidly deteriorates into a storm of violence, murder and small town intrigue. Is Clayton a cold-blooded killer, or the victim of a malevolent force that has descended upon the town of Black River?”

    Hogan will have a prominent role in the film. A trailer for the film has been released focusing on DDP’s character:

  • Hulk Hogan Files Another Lawsuit, Brooke’s Acting Career

    – Hulk Hogan is suing Florida-based Southland Imports and Suntrup Automotive Group, claiming a commercial they are running implies that he endorses them by using his likeness (imitating his voice and using his catch phrases). Hogan cites heavy use of the word “brother”, referring to a man’s muscles as “guns” and a reference to “Hulkamaniacs.” Hogan is seeking an unspecified amount of damages.

    Some fans will remember that Hulk Hogan sued the makers of Cocoa Pebbles cereal, for their commercial that featured a “Hulk Boulder” character that Hogan felt was also infringing on his likeness. That lawsuit was settled and the commercial was pulled from television.

    * VIDEO of the Cocoa Pebbles Commercial Featuring “Hulk Boulder”

    – Hulk’s daughter Brooke Hogan has been taking acting classes as of late and is working on a few low-budget movies. Her latest project is called Sand Sharks.

    Brooke recently finished shooting a movie called Devour, about three popular high school girls who become … lesbian cannibals.

  • Hulk Hogan Rips The Rock For His Return Promo

    During an interview with Peter Rosenberg, Hulk Hogan criticized WWE’s handling of Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson’s return to WWE last week on Raw.

    “They’ve spent so much time building John Cena up. There’s a way to really build somebody up, but all of a sudden within three or four seconds, he had the whole arena screaming that Cena sucks,” Hogan said.

    “Sometimes I don’t understand the philosophy. John Cena is going to be there all the time. Even though The Rock said he’s back, he’s only back for one day. He’s not going to be there wrestling every single day like John Cena is, really holding it down and really keeping it real. All that stuff is scripted. They had Stephanie McMahon and the writers telling The Rock exactly what to say. I just didn’t understand why they would want to destroy Cena so quickly.”

    Hogan also talked about the eight (!!!) back surgeries he’s undergone over the past year. Though he wears a brace, he’s now pain free. He noted that he will be on hand for tonight’s iMPACT! taping in Fayetteville, North Carolina.

  • Isis the Amazon Receives “Terrible” Review, Hogan Backstage

    — Isis the Amazon’s tryout match prior to last Tuesday’s TNA iMPACT! taping was deemed “terrible” by one company source.

    Though her in-ring capabilities are considered lousy, it was noted that she worked with a wrestler who is also considered green, Leva Bates, a student of the Team 3D Academy Of Professional Wrestling. The source doesn’t rule out TNA using Isis again, due to her tremendous size.

    — Hulk Hogan was briefly backstage at an iMPACT! taping last week, reportedly for a photo shoot. “The Hulkster” is advertised for an appearance at Thursday’s iMPACT! taping in Fayetteville, North Carolina.

Per the stipulations last night, Angle now must walk Karen Jarrett down the aisle on the March 3rd iMPACT when she and Jeff renew their vows. Angle taking his boots off and leaving them in the ring at the PPV was a symbolic guesture that is done when amateur wrestlers are ending their careers.

    – Max and Jeremy Buck posted messages on their Twitter accounts last night apologizing for not being able to make the Against All Odds pay-per-view.

  • Hulk Hogan Endorsing New Line Of Cleaning Products

    Listen dude, the following press release was issued today, brother:

    TV Goods to Roll Out Hulk Hogan Endorsed Line of Pumice-Based Cleaning Products; PumMagic(TM) Product Line Draws Interest of Big Box Retailers

    CLEARWATER, FL — (Marketwire) — 02/08/11 — H & H Imports, Inc. (OTCQB: HNHI) (PINKSHEETS: HNHI), the parent company of TV Goods Holding Corporation, which previously announced that it was testing a single pumice-based cleaning product endorsed by Hulk Hogan, today announced that the Company has developed a complete line of the cleaning products, and has rebranded the line as “PumMagic.”

    After receiving feedback from key big box retailers that they would like to see more than a single product marketed under the brand, the Company expanded the product line to include not only cleaners, but brushes, wipes and sponges; some of the most popular line extensions presently in the market. In addition, the Company improved and reformulated the product and product packaging.

    The Company has reshot the commercial to include the line extensions and will begin airing the spot shortly. The Company is planning to launch the products on a global basis through multiple distribution channels including direct response, Electronic Retailing, live shopping channels, and retail (including web-based).

    The PumMagic? line is a revolutionary new line of pumice-based cleaning products that are safe enough to wash dishes yet gentle enough to clean a child’s hands. The product line that the Company will be testing will include a liquid cleaner, a powdered cleaner, Pop-Up and Bag Pumice Wipes, Shaminator Sponges and bathroom scrubbers. The product effortlessly removes stains caused by coffee, ink, wine, juice, soy sauce, makeup, and more. It will be promoted as “The Cleaner for the Toughest Stains.”

    TV Goods Chairman Kevin Harrington said, “We were glad to hear feedback from target retailers that they wanted more than just one product to sell under our PumMagic? line. More products mean more shelf space and more opportunities for consumers to try our products across an increased range of uses to create an ongoing brand loyalty. The Company believes that with the visibility created by products endorsed by Hulk Hogan, consumers will try the products and keep coming back once they have tried them because of how well the entire line actually works!”

    Harrington went on to say, “We are also planning to expand the number of celebrity endorsers that the Company deals with, as we believe that getting the right individual with the right product line should affect the sales in a very positive manner and more quickly increase brand value and awareness. We believe that Hulk is perfect for this line of cleaning products, and that 50 Cent is the right man at the right time for the audio line of products. Continuing into the future, we intend to develop other partnerships with other celebrities for different lines of products and services.”

    About The Company:

    H&H Imports, Inc. is the parent company of TV Goods Holding Corporation. TV Goods Holding Corporation is a direct response marketing company.

  • Jeff Hardy Title Win Scrapped, More On Nash’s Departure

    – Former TNA champion Jeff Hardy was scheduled to win the TNA World Title back on last week’s episode of iMPACT, had his court case been settled during his most recent. Hardy’s case was delayed yet again, and TNA management decided it was best to hold off on putting the title back on Hardy until his legal issues are resolved.

    The current plan is for Jeff Hardy to challenge Mr. Anderson for the title in a ladder match at Against All Odds.

    – Dave Meltzer reports that Kevin Nash actually signed a contract with TNA in January but Dixie Carter signed his release on the Friday before WWE’s Royal Rumble pay-per-view.

    – Speaking of Nash, he appeared on X-Pac’s show on Cowhead.tv and said that the “tipping point” that lead to him leaving TNA was the recent episode of TNA iMPACT! where Kurt Angle destroyed the members of Immortal. Nash said that after that episode of iMPACT, he and his wife felt that returning to TNA was not in his best interest. Nash said that a call from WWE’s John Laurinaitis next made the decision to back out of his TNA contract and return to WWE an easy one.

    – TNA is now heavily promoting the March 3rd episode of iMPACT. Announced for that show is Karen and Jeff Jarrett renewing their wedding vows and the return of Hulk Hogan. Hogan was supposed to return on last night’s show but was not at this past week’s iMPACT tapings.

    – Jeremy Buck won a match on last night’s iMPACT to advance to an X Division #1 contender’s match at Against All Odds. The winner of Robbie E. vs. Brian Kendrick vs. Suicide on next week’s iMPACT will go to the pay-per-view to face Max Buck and Jeremy Buck in a three-way to crown a new #1 contender.
