Hulk Hogan Says He’s Only Used Creative Control Once

Hulk Hogan spoke to The Sun on a number of topics including creative control, Ultimate Warrior, not losing to Shawn Michaels in 2005, the Montreal Screwjob and more.

Regarding Hogan’s use of creative control dating back to his time with World Championship Wrestling, he said, “People say ‘Hogan, you have this creative control clause?’ and I say ‘yeah, but the only time I’ve ever exercised it in 30 years is when Vince Russo screwed me’. And it didn’t even help then! I got screwed and couldn’t do anything about it!

“Nowadays, we have a working relationship. I would have bet my bottom dollar that we wouldn’t work together again. There was a point in time where if I was to go to TNA it was him or me. The truth is Eric Bischoff sold me on it. Eric had met with Vince and explained to me how things were different and we should sit down to talk.”

In June, Ultimate Warrior released a hate-filled attack against Hogan, claiming the wrestling icon is a cocaine-abusing “dope head” who once tried to get Warrior to have sex with his wife. Hogan says of his rival, “What is the Warrior doing? What has this guy been saying? I’ve never approached him for sex. I can’t speak for my ex-wife!

“We had a guest house, he stayed in it. We worked in my gym, he hung out in the pool all day with my kids, he was super nice to family. There was nothing but respect.

“All the insane, crazy stuff he is saying is nuts. Now even the most hardcore Warrior fans know he’s a goof. His cover’s gone now, he’s so far out of line everybody just knows he is an idiot. He has no credibility. It’s sad.”

Samoa Joe Speaks Out – Title Reign, Booking

Samoa Joe recently did interviews with Scripps News, Guru Magazine and Slam Wrestling promoting Against All Odds on Sunday and discussed his career, his run with the World Title and more. Check out the highlights:

On his dynamic with Magnus: “There’s definitely a good symbiotic relationship with me and him. He shows up wanting to go 120 miles per hour. He’s got intelligent ideas and he’s ready to go. When you work with someone like that who’s so hungry in wanting to succeed and putting on the best show possible, it’s really refreshing and contagious. It helps my game.”

On TNA’s booking: “At the end of the day, I could groan and take my frustrations out on the world and complain about every little thing that was going wrong with me. But ultimately, I’m responsible for my own fate and destiny. I’m wasting my time complaining instead of doing things on my end to try and fix it. My job as a pro wrestler is to entertain the fans. That should be my primary concern, not trying to justify how things could be better for myself.”

On his matches: “I go back and pick apart 20 million things after my matches looking at things I would change or could have done better. I’m never satisfied with anything. I don’t know if I’ll ever be satisfied enough to say a match was 100 perfect.”

On his career: “I think I’m very much at the midway point of my career. There’s definitely a lot more accolades I would love to achieve. I feel pretty positive about that moving forward and what the future holds. As far as the past few years, there have been rocky points at times. At the same time, I defy anybody to find a wrestling career that was picture-perfect all the way through. It’s a marathon, not a race, and I’m willing to complete it.”

On where TNA will be in five years: “I think five years from now, TNA will still be doing well and thriving, and will have more of an international presence around the world. For all of the criticism that people like to levy against the company – I’ve heard “it’ll be dead in five years, six years, whatever” – every year we’ve grown, every year we’ve expanded and we’ve forged ahead into new markets – the UK, now India [with new promotion Ring Ka King], and that trend will continue. I think anybody that thinks otherwise is kidding themselves – and we’ll be more than happy to prove you wrong!”

On his world title run: “The proudest moment of my career so far was winning the world heavyweight championships [back in 2008] for a bevy of reasons, but first and foremost that it was from an athlete [1996 Olympic Gold Medallist Kurt Angle] that is world-renowned and world class and one of the very best in the game. I look forward to replicating that success in the future.”

On a possible tag title run leading him to the World Title picture: “If anybody knows me as a wrestler, they know I run in streaks. Once I get hot, I don’t get un-hot. I just keep going until either I explode or I get suspended or fined. That’s the way I run. It takes a lot to get me out of the picture.”

Diese Einstellung finde ich bei jedem Wrestler gut, egal welche Promotion. Solange sie immer versuchen aus ihren Fehlern zu lernen oder auch neue Dinge ausprobieren wollen, sind sie noch heiß auf das Business. Sobald Wrestler der Meinung sind, sie brauchen keine Verbesserungen oder machen schon alles 100% korrekt, dann ist meistens genau das Gegenteil eingetreten. Einige Legenden scheinen ja leider genau so zu denken

Hulk Hogan Says He Would Shave His Mustache For "A Couple Million Bucks"

TNA personality Hulk Hogan stated during a recent interview with BANG Showbiz that if someone gave him "a couple million bucks," he would shave his mustache, adding the fact that "it grows back":
"When I talked about it, everyone went crazy. Loads of people began jumping on it and the next thing I knew people were like, 'Oh my god he's shaving his mustache off!' The next thing I know is I had one of my sports agents calling me saying, 'Don't shave it off!' I've heard from Gillette, Right Guard. They said we may have a deal, so I said I'd wait for a while."

Das Lustige daran ist, Hulk Hogan redet ständig davon seinen Bart abrasieren zu wollen, vor allen wenn die Kohle stimmen würde. Aber passiert ist bisher noch nichts und ich wette, dass es aus der Werbebranche schon einige verlockende Angebote gab. Soll er es doch endlich tun. Hogan meint doch selbst, dass der Bart wieder nachwachsen würde

Ob die WWE hier ein wenig neidisch dreinblicken wird ? Ist schon sehr überraschend, dass sich ein großer Sportler eher für die kleinere Promotion im TV entscheidet. Ich freue mich aber tierisch, dass TNA die WWE mal überbieten kann
