Hulk Hogan Reveals Jimmy Hart’s Role At WrestleMania

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.”

“I just hope it’s not a one-off like The Rock. Jimmy still lives for being right in the middle of all the action. He did what was best for himself.”

It had originally been reported that Jimmy Hart would only be participating in WWE’s Fan Axxess event, but now it looks like Hart will have a more prominent role on the show.

Hulk Hogan, a longtime friend of Jimmy Hart, was reportedly upset when he first found out Hart was leaving TNA to work 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.

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.

You can check out the interview at Rosenberg’s official website, RosenbergRadio.com.

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.

Flair reportedly suffered a torn his rotator cuff in a match with Doug Williams. Sources had expected Ric Flair to undergo surgery, meaning he would have been out for around 4 months, but he has decided to skip it for now and return back to work.

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.”

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.

They Revealed, X-Division Tournament Update, 3/3 iMPACT!

– On Thursday’s iMPACT!, TNA’s much-hyped “they” group was revealed to be Fortune members AJ Styles, Kazarian and Beer Money, who turned on Immortal and Eric Bischoff. As previously reported, TNA had planned to feature Kevin Nash and Booker T’s in the group, but their returns to WWE at the Royal Rumble forced them to rewrite the entire storyline.

– 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.

TNA covered up for Hogan not being there this week by saying that a “legal ruling” from a judge in Texas in the Hogan-Dixie Carter feud was preventing him from attending iMPACT.

– 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.

— ESPN.com has posted an interview with TNA star Hulk Hogan, who talked about the viral video of New York Jets linebacker Bart Scott cutting a wrestling promo after Sunday’s win over the New England Patriots. Hogan, a childhood hero of Bart Scott, said the NFL star’s post-game interview was clearly inspired by wrestling interviews.

“It was like one of my mid-’80s promos, and all that was missing were a few ‘What are you gonna dos?’ and some lightning bolts in there. It was right on the money. I think it’s cool that [Scott] is stepping up and showboating it a bit, because it’s about personality and entertaining people, too.

I could tell Bart had been watching wrestling, and it’s pretty cool because a lot of these guys are afraid to step outside the box. … Sometimes when you say stuff you believe it and it happens.”

When asked whether Scott could have a future in pro wrestling once his professional football days are over, Hogan said:

“Oh yeah. When his career’s over and he wants to make some real money, tell him to give me a call and we’ll break him in the right way.”

Here’s the video of Bart Scott’s promo:
