HOOOOOOO! Hacksaw Jim Duggan made it official.
Hacksaw Jim Duggan has signed a new WWE Legends deal, according to a new report from Dominic DeAngelo of SEScoops.com. It was noted that Duggan has not been under a Legends deal for the past several years, so the new contract will likely open the doors for his use in new media and merchandise.
Duggan has not had a new WWE action figure by Mattel in several years, and he has not been in any licensed WWE console video games since 2009’s Legends Of WrestleMania. However, he has appeared in mobile games like WWE Supercard.
Duggan was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2011.

Hacksaw Jim Duggan appreciates Triple H’s new outlook on Legends
Hacksaw Jim Duggan recently appeared at WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event. However, he estimated it’d been the first time WWE called him in nearly 15 years. Duggan said WWE under Triple H’s direction was much better, thanking the company for a “new outlook” on Legends.
“I hadn’t heard from WWE in probably 15 years,” Duggan told Busted Open Radio (via Wrestling Inc). “So, I got the call and I’m like, 203 area code? What the heck? They suing me for something? But I tell you, Triple H couldn’t be more gracious.”
Duggan said Triple H spoke with everyone there and the Legends had their own dressing rooms. He was also invited to the Gorilla position, too.
“[Triple H] came out, took pictures, talked about the new way they feel about Legends over there, they appreciate what they’ve done,” Duggan added. “[It’s a whole new outlook on legends.”
