In an interview with www.Eagle1057.com out of Atlanta, GA, Hulk Hogan discussed Vince McMahon’s negative reaction to his Celebrity Championship Wrestling program on CMT.
“All of a sudden, Vince McMahon raised his ugly head and thought we were threatening his company and he’s been doing everything he can to shut us down,†Hogan told the radio station. “We’re just a reality show.â€
Hogan said he was worried the celebrities signed on for the show wouldn’t take wrestling seriously because they were paid upfront, but he was positive about the experience.
Hogan claimed the likes of Regis Philbin inquired about being on the series when it was first announced, and now people from “all of the major companies†are calling wanting to be part of Celebrity Championship Wrestling.
Hogan mostly hyped CCW during the interview, but managed to take a shot at Triple H. When asked about the wrestling business’ history of exposing its inner workings, Hogan said McMahon smartened up the public in the 80s when he said pro wrestling isn’t a real sport, and then created the Tough Enough series on MTV. However, Hogan believes the worst offense of exposing the business is Vince McMahon keeping the WWE Title on Triple H for so many years, and that it exposes the wrestling business more than Celebrity Championship Wrestling does. “The biggest expose is putting the World Title on your son-in-law for the last five or six years,†Hogan said. “That’s probably the biggest expose I’ve ever seen keeping Triple H as champion.†Triple H has taken a number of unwarranted shots at Hogan over the years (usually when Hogan’s been out of favor with Vince), even though Hogan was mostly positive when talking about him.
During the interview, Hogan also said he will be in New York this weekend with Steve Austin doing promotional work for liveautographs.com, which films celebrities signing merchandise that customers are buying to authenticate the merchandise.
- In the latest edition of “Santino’s Casa,†Santino Marella makes his case for the show to win best WWE.com Original Show at next week’s Slammy Awards.

Well, let's see Hogan. HHH had the title from Jan 2005 til Apr 1st 2005, and then, he went without the title through all of 2005, all of 2006, and all the way up until Oct 2007. That was 2 and a half years after his previous reign. Hardly "putting the belt on his for 6 years straight" Hulk.

um look back in history when Hogan was talking about the 80's how it was the best time in wrestling that's because he was the champion for about 4 years straight holding the title if I recall correctly only to be beaten by Andre the Giant.
