| WWE Examiner has just learned from sources close to WWE that the published reports surfacing Monday regarding Hulk Hogan returning to work at TNA and declining an offer from WWE are, in fact, correct. But money was not the root cause of the issue that prevented Hogan from returning "home" to World Wrestling Entertainment. A source close to individuals in direct talks with Hulk Hogan tells WWE Examiner that creative differences were just as damaging to the negotiations as WWE's "low-ball" offer to get Hogan back in the company. Although The Rock and Brock Lesnar earn in one match what Hogan would have earned over the course of the 12-month contract he was offered by WWE, Hulk Hogan was reportedly more discouraged by the names of current WWE superstars that the company's creative team had in mind to pit against Hogan for a "farewell run" of matches leading up to April's historic production of WrestleMania XXX. WWE Examiner learned that Hogan purportedly wanted to work with CM Punk, but WWE felt that Punk's star has now risen so high that the Straight Edge Superstar needs to work a main event, not a nostalgia match with Hogan. We've also learned that the WWE hasn't given up on a "dream match" scenario that could put CM Punk in the ring with "Stone Cold" Steve Austin. Industry insiders say Austin would likely prove a much bigger draw than Hogan for WrestleMania XXX because the Texas Rattlesnake has been away from the ring for so long. Unfortunately for the Hulkster, although WWE definitely wanted Hogan at WrestleMania XXX in New Orleans, the match WWE had in mind was simply not "good enough" for the aging Real American in red and yellow. The source was not familiar with who the company pitched to wrestle against Hogan, although the rumor mill says it was either Jack Swagger or Fandango. As of this writing, neither Hulk Hogan nor the WWE have offered official comment on the matter or why talks ultimately fell apart. Would you have wanted to see Hulk Hogan square off against CM Punk at WrestleMania XXX? |

| Swagger? Fandango? Those can't be the actual names WWE pitched.
I wouldn't be surprised if they pitched Sheamus or ADR, though. I'm surprised they wouldn't have wanted Cena/Hogan, though that match would've been awful. |

| I think TNA had the right idea to throw Flair and Hogan into the ring with Styles and Abyss. The old guys can get the pop and the youth were able to work the match. ____________________ |

| ^^that.
The last WWE match I saw with Hulk Hogan on it, was Summer Slam '06, which was, probably, the second best match of that event (Being Edge x Cena the best imo)... well, at least, the crowd went insane with Hogan x Orton. Then till the main event, the show was... pretty much dead. |

| CM Punk shouldn't be wasting his time on Hogan. If Hogan has to wrestle at Wrestlemania, I'd book him against the Real American tag team (with a partner) - the feud writes itself, and his tag partner can do most of the ring work.
Plus the idea of Cesaro hitting the Giant Swing on Hogan, and Hogan's body literally disintegrating amuses me.
Edit: Just because I've got the feeling that somebody's going to go "HOW U SAY PUNK NO BE WASTED, WHEN U WASTE CESARO?" - Punk is massively over right now, Cesaro isn't. Simple as that. Plus Swagger's going to take the fall, obviously >_>. |
