Hulk Hogan Says He’s Looking Forward To Going To Saudi Arabia With WWE

Hulk Hogan, for better or worse, will always be associated with the world of professional wrestling. Despite the fact that the last three years for him have been marred in controversy, Hulk Hogan has been reinstated to the WWE Hall of Fame and WWE has been heavily promoting the NWO reunions that will take place this Saturday in Orlando Florida. Hulk Hogan recently spoke to the Orlando Sentinel regarding the NWO reunion, but there are also other interesting topics that are covered. Hulk Hogan mentions who his favorite current Superstars are, how he’d like to be remembered and provides an interesting statement on where he would rather be during WWE’s upcoming highly controversial trip to Saudi Arabia.

Hulk Hogan On His Initial Reaction To Being Asked To Join The NWO

“I said, ‘I don’t know, man, I’m a singles wrestler and I don’t really like tag teams,’” Hogan said. “This is either going to be the greatest thing that ever happened to my career or my career is over. … But when [Hall and Nash] came in, I watched them the first couple of weeks and I was, oh man, I don’t want to miss this money train.”

Hulk Hogan On Being A Backstage Politician:

“Once I got in the [top] spot, to keep the spot, that’s where the politics come in. Everybody goes, ‘Well, Hulk Hogan was a politician.’ Well, thank God I was! That’s why I made more money than anybody, that’s why I kept the belt longer, that’s why instead of a five- or six- or 10-year run like the Rock or Stone Cold or different wrestlers, I had a 35-year run on top.”

Hulk Hogan On His Legacy:

“This is a total ego trip, but this is what I would love: To be the hood ornament of the WWE, to be the Babe Ruth of the WWE, and to always be around when any of the big stuff is going on…” Hogan said. “I sure would love to be a part of the WrestleManias and the big events and the grand openings and the new conquests of the WWE. Saudi Arabia! Hong Kong! China! Antarctica! The North Pole! Whatever it is, I’d like to be part of the ongoing growth of the wrestling business, and be with WWE the whole time, that’s the only place to be.”

Hulk Hogan On Going To Saudi Arabia With WWE:

There are a lot of plans in the works,” Hogan said. “I’m looking forward to going to Saudi Arabia with the WWE, looking forward to WrestleMania — but yeah, we’re moving forward at a rapid pace. It’s exciting to have this opportunity again after all these years where I was there and gone.”

That’s an interesting comment from The Hulkster. I don’t know why on Earth WWE would like to bring more sources of controversy to this Crown Jewel event but they seem like they’re ready to patch things up with Hulk and this may be step one.
