There is now a deal in place for Hulk Hogan to return to WWE and he’s expected to sign any time now.

As late as last Monday night going into Tuesday night before the Network announcement on Wednesday, officials in WWE’s TV department were aware of Hogan’s return and were preparing to reveal him along with the Network presentation. At one point, mentions of Hogan returning were written into the script that WWE used on the teleprompter at the Network event in Las Vegas.

One person in the know speculated that he wasn’t announced with the Network because bringing Hogan back at the same time the Network is announced may have made Hogan seem bigger when all of the attention needed to be on the Network.

Hogan will be appearing at WrestleMania XXX in some fashion.

I read he was backstage at tapings for Main Event and Smackdown a week or two ago as well.

Looking forward to seeing Hogan back on WWE TV. Still undecided on whether I'd be fine with him teaming with Cena in a match or just never wrestling again period.

Well someone has to induct Warrior. Who better than Hulk?

I would prefer him to keep the wrestling to a minimum. Dude is old and was never a good wrestler in my book. He can put on a show though, which is why people loved him.

I'd be surprised if Hogan inducted Warrior. I know Warrior put aside his beef with Vince but last I saw, he and Hogan still hate one another in real life. It'd make perfect sense, though.

Host Wrestlemania or gtfo. Seriously, if he's involved in any sort of match, mania is ruined. I'd prefer it if he just stayed away.

It would make for the best induction ever if we have Hogan and Warrior throwing old man gloves at one another :happy:

What's wrong with a short, nostalgia tag match that's used to calm the fans down between big main events? Last years WM definitely could've used a "fan-cooler" match considering the crowd practically died after Punk/Taker. And unlike the Tonnes of Funk/Bellas and Sandow fan-cooler match of last year, I'm sure they'll make room for a Hogan one.

If not that, definitely a short cameo ala WM 21(?). I definitely don't want him to be the host of the show and be everywhere the entire night of WM, because quite frankly I think we've all seen him do that enough on some other show.

I know I posted in here already but for some reason I read this thread as "Hulk Hogan's return is intimate"

:dawg: Move over Chyna!
