Hulk Hogan Announces Update On WWE Contract

WWE

WWE Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan has opened up about his new WWE deal and teased the possibility of an on-screen return in some capacity.

Although he hasn’t been seen since the WWE Raw 30th Anniversary episode in January 2023, Hogan has revealed that he has continued to work with the company.

Speaking on Insight with Chris Van Vliet, Hogan said:

“You know, I still work with the WWE all the time. I just renewed my deal with them, you know. And [Does that mean, we can hear your music hit sometime soon]. I hope so. It’s always fun to go out there. And maybe I can hang on to one of the wrestlers to get me out to the ring.”

His last WWE match was in August 2006 at that year’s SummerSlam against Randy Orton.

Hogan also spoke about selling merchandise in his era of wrestling and also his involvement in 2023, going to state:

“But it’s really crazy. Because when I was the world’s champion, you know, we sold a tonne of merchandise. We didn’t have the vehicle to the internet and the stuff that they have nowadays. But we sold a lot of stuff you know, back in the day.

“The cartoon were very supportive of the merchandise and stuff like that. And you know, it was kind of strange because I think I had 350 licensees which are like individual deals, Frisbees, watches, headbands, chalk, kites, potty seats, tennis shoes, whatever it may be. And now that I’m kind of like Jimmy Hart says, well, baby, baby, what’s old is new again.

“What’s old is new again. And I said, Jimmy, you’re right.

“I’ve been approving merchandise every day, I get new stuff coming in. And I’m up to like, 850,000, you know, like, 900,000 pieces of merchandise. I’m sorry, I’m mistaken it’s 300 different agencies. I’m up to 900 licensees not 900,000. I’m thinking wrong. But instead of 300 deals for Frisbees, or whatever, it’s up to almost 900.

“Yeah. So it’s like, I’m Elvis is still alive. You know, it’s kind of scary. I don’t know. So but it’s just amazing how the fans have made this live forever, you know, it’s amazing.”

Hogan hasn’t wrestled since the IMPACT Wrestling TNA Maximum Impact Tour of the UK in 2012 when he teamed with James Storm and Sting to defeat Bobby Roode, Bully Ray & Kurt Angle.

Hogan recently married Sky Daily in an ‘intimate’ Florida ceremony that was attended by only their closest family, except for Brooke Hogan.
