Hogan/WWE update from 23
credit pwinsider
hogan was on the drake and zeke morning show.
The conversation goes back to the WWE, and Hogan talks about how he was supposed to headline Wrestlemania. He said he was in talks with Vince about re-creating the Wrestlemania 3 main event where he slammed Andre. Says that was the plan all along. He said during one of the conversations, Vince stated that he had 10 or 12 top guys so the compensation for Hogan wouldn’t be the same as before. Hogan said he told Vince, “Well if you got 10 or 12 top guys you don’t need me thenâ€. He actually admitted he walked away because he wanted to be the top paid guy. It was surprising. He did concede that he thought Vince would ask him back to the table to negotiate, but he never did. He said he thought that even though it didn’t pan out for Wrestlemania, he didn’t expect hard feelings from Vince, as demonstrated by WWE pulling Lawler and other WWE talent from the Memphis show.
Not really new news, although Hogan apparently still wanted to be on 23, but his ego got in the way. Hogan has to look in the mirror and realize he's too old. He wasn't even coming back to put over young talent. I agree 100% with Vince. If hogan loved what he did, he would do it for next to nothing.
