Hulkamania About to Run Wild in WWE

OTTAWA – Sports – It’s now official that Hulk Hogan is back in the WWE and will be “hosting” this year’s Wrestlemania 30 in New Orleans Louisiana.  The Hulkster will be making his first TV appearance with the company on this tonight’s (Feb 24) edition of WWE Raw.  The Undertaker, who is rumored to be facing Brock Lesnar at Wrestlemania will also be returning to WWE TV tonight as part of the launch of the new WWE network.

WWE Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan has returned to WWE (NYSE:WWE) and will host WrestleMania® 30 on Sunday, April 6 at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome in New Orleans. Hogan will make his long-awaited return to WWE this Monday on Raw®, which airs live at 8 pm ET on USA Network. He will also appear on WWE Raw Backstage Pass, airing live on WWE Network on Monday night at 11:05 pm ET.

A larger-than-life icon, Hogan is one of the biggest names in WWE history. On January 23, 1984, “Hulkamania” was officially born when he defeated The Iron Sheik to become WWE Champion at Madison Square Garden. He headlined WrestleMania III, where he successfully defended the WWE Championship against Andre The Giant in front of a record 93,173 fans at the Pontiac Silverdome. Hogan went on to win six WWE Championships, starred in movies, television shows and became an idol to a vast legion of fans he dubbed “Hulkamaniacs.” Hogan was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2005 by Hollywood legend Sylvester Stallone. His last WWE appearance was in December 2007, where he appeared at the 15th anniversary of Monday Night Raw.

Vince McMahon ‘Thrilled’

“We are thrilled that Hulk Hogan has returned home to WWE,” said WWE Chairman & CEO Vince McMahon. “It’s fitting to have him help us celebrate 30 years of WrestleMania and usher in a new era with the launch of WWE Network.”

“Words cannot express how excited I am to be back in the WWE family,” said Hulk Hogan. “I only have one question for the WWE Universe: whatcha gonna do when Hulkamania runs wild as the host of WrestleMania 30?”

Around the Squared Circle

The WWE has stated Lesnar will also be appearing on Raw from Green Bay tonight.

WWE star The Miz reportedly married former Canadian WWE star Maryse Oulette this past week.  Oulette had dated several other WWE wrestlers in the past.

Long-time WWE star Nelson Frazier Jr. who appeared in the WWE as Viscera, Mable and King Mable died of a heart attack on Feb. 18th only days after his 42nd birthday.  Frazier was well over 500 pounds most of his career.

TNA Wrestling did not finish in the top 100 shows on cable for the week for Feb 23rd in the 18-34 year old demographic with only a 1.0 rating.  This is not a good sign for the company even with the competition from the Olympics.

This month’s Maxium Magazine has a story on WWE Hall of Famer The Iron Sheik.
