Hulk Hogan Speaks On TNA, Wight, Lawler, McMahon, More
Hogan yacks it up on Bubba...
Hulk Hogan called in to the Bubba the Love Sponge radio show yesterday. Some highlights are below.
- Bubba said he has been asked to appear at the Hulk Hogan/Paul Wight Memphis Wrestling event as a wrestler, and that he has agreed to that deal.
- Bubba said he was asked to be at the arena by 3PM the day of the show, but said he won't show up until Hogan shows up.
- Hogan again mentioned that his match with Paul Wight should have happened at WrestleMania 23.
- The topic of the Jerry Lawler controversy came up. Hogan said that Vince McMahon did it to spite him. He said that Vince was OK with the entire show up until he found out Hogan was in it. Hogan added that Lawler had given his word and backed out anyway. Hogan kept called promoter Cory Macklin as the "black promoter," called the Memphis mayor the "black mayor," then said how Cory has contacted Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson to help him fight Vince McMahon, basically trying to make it seem as if McMahon was discriminating against them.
- Hogan said that Vince knew he would not back out of the show, which is why he went after Lawler.
- Hogan said that Triple H and Stephanie McMahon were behind the Jillian Hall/Brooke Hogan parody gimmick.
- Hogan put over Sharpton and Jackson as men who fought for fairness, but then said they railroaded Don Imus.
- Hogan said Paul Wight is frustrated with Vince McMahon and is excited to be wrestling on his own.
- Hogan said that TNA "could be" one of the three companies actively pursuing him "as a brand."
- Hogan said that Jeff Jarrett and TNA are trying to help out Cory Macklin in Memphis.
- Hogan and Bubba talked about how awesome it will be to see Bubba wrestle. Hogan said that Bubba should have a shoot fight with the Honkytonk Man.
- Hogan didn't know if his 4/27 show was a Friday or Saturday (it's a Friday).
