Hulk Hogan interview - 91.3 SportFM - Perth, Australia

Media Man advises this is one of the most interesting radio interviews, or interviews of any nature, that Hulk Hogan has ever done. Part work, part shoot, and what to expect in Australia and what's on the cards once he returns to the U.S where he has signed a business deal with TNA.

Part of the interview quoting Hulk Hogan:

"In TNA, I'm going to listen to those fans and give them what they want. I'm not going to keep shoving a bunch of terrible, horrible, stale programming down their throats," Hogan said, referring to WWE's writing. "(In TNA), I'm going to take the writers and tell them, 'go get another job. Sit in the back. If I need you to write a jingle for a commercial, maybe we'll use you for that."

Hulkamania Let The Battle Begin Star City Casino press conference gets out of control; Ric Flair attacks Hulk Hogan

Hulkamania Let The Battle Begin Star City Casino press conference gets out of control; Ric Flair attacks Hulk Hogan, by Greg Tingle - 18th November 2009

The press conference started friendly enough as most professional wrestling press conferences do.

Fans nor news media did not expect for things to get out of hand at Star City Casino, when Flair and Hogan got into a verbal fight that ended in physical violence and a bloodbath reminiscent of Mario Milano, Ron Miller, Mark Lewin, Abdullah The Butcher and The People's Army.

Numerous news media including Media Man captured the brawl with stills and video, and most Australian network news broadcasts will be running with the story tonight.

Even a professional photographer's camera flash was broken in the mayhem.

Hogan's head was a bloody crimson mess after Flair's punch and whipping with with his belt. Hogan landed hard on the floor and fellow wrestlers helped him to his feet after approximately 10 minutes of recovering. Many of the wrestlers present looked very concerned and helped Hogan get backstage for medical assistance.

Mr Flair and Mr Hogan have been engaged in a long running and heated feud, however this public exchange is understood to be the most violent to date.

Some wrestling insiders were overheard to have said; "Red turns to green" (blood turns to money), however numerous fans and media also noted that the attack was overdone and had "gone to far" and that "Flair shooted" on Hogan.

Hulk Hogan is still extremely excited to be touring and wrestling in Australia for the first time.

He advised the audience that other promoters in the past had billed him to tour Australia without his knowledge only to tell the fans that he could not make it.

Hogan is best known for his legdrop and "Hulkamanic's" while Flair's trademark's include Flair judo chops, figure four leglock, Flair flip and "Wooooo" taunt, something that Hogan is never likely to forget.

Hulkamania Let The Battle Begin officially starts at Sydney’s Acer Arena on the 28th of November.

The Hulk, Hulk Hogan injured in bloody Sydney brawl with Ric Flair and media - News Limited - 18th November 2009

WRESTLER Hulk Hogan has been badly injured after a violent bloody brawl broke out at The Hulkamania promotional press conference at Star City today.

The press conference veered violently out of control today as Hulk Hogan and ring rival Ric Flair let their animosity break into a full scale bloody brawl.

Sydney Central’s photographer Phil Rogers has his flash broken when Ric Flair threw a table off the stage and into the press gathering before diving on photographers. See the photo of the Hulk.

Media were stunned as the Hulk’s head began bleeding profusely and confusion broke out when the veteran wrestling star was unable to get to his feet.

This reporter narrowly missed being struck with the table and photographers ducked and weaved as Ric Flair took off his trouser belt and began to whip anyone within range.

The press conference began well with the stars of the tour speaking professionally about their careers and the business.

Media Man comments

The press conference started in a professional and friendly fashion. As the conference progressed Mr Hogan and Mr Flair started exchanging words and temperatures rose to an extent that Flair finally physically attacked Hogan, with Hogan and his table falling off the stage. A media frenzy followed with many fans shocked and starting chanting Hogan's name, and he was assisted to the back for medical attention. Both media and fans speculated with each other as to how much of the press conference may have been scripted, and how much really got out of hand. In any event, it was an entertaining and wild affair, and only adds to the Hulk Hogan VS Ric Flair series of matches in Australia being a "don't miss" attraction. Wooooo!

Hulk Hogan and Ric Flair touch down at Sydney International Airport, by Greg Tingle - 17th November 2009

Professional wrestling living legends, Hulk Hogan and Ric Flair, touched down at Sydney Airport this morning at 6am.

Media Man, Icon Images and some other passionate fans and news media were there to welcome The Hulkster and The Nature Boy.

Also present were Eric Bischoff, Michael Condon (Condon Sports and Entertainment), some security and an attractive female that may have been Ric's new wife (unconfirmed).

Spin Communications had provided Media Man and a host of other news media with the airport arrival tip off the day prior.

The upcoming Hogan VS Flair matches in Australia as part of Hulkamania Let The Battle Begin tour will be the first and last time they meet in the ring on Australian soil.

Hogan is regarded as the most widely recognised professional wrestler of all time and put the wrestling business on the entertainment and Hollywood map in the mid 80's with the Rock N Wrestling connection involving Cindy Lauper and Mr T.

Fueled along by the WWF machine, Hogan took the business to new levels with feuds involving Rowdy Roddy Piper and the late, great, Andre The Giant.

Hogan's trademarks include "Watcha going to do when Hulkamania runs wild on you", the big boot to the face, the Hogan legdrop, and lariat (clothesline). Hogan is a MoVember supporter and has just released his updated autobiography "My Life Outside The Ring".

Flair is a favorite of serious wrestling fans around the globe and is regarded as one of the top five wrestlers of all time. Flair's most famous and celebrated wrestling feuds have been with Ricky "The Dragon" Steamboat, "Rowdy" Roddy Piper, and of course, Hulk Hogan. Flair's trademark moves include the Flair judo chop, figure four leglock and the Flair flip over the top rope, which actually helps make the opponent look good, and is spectacular to watch. Flair is also known for his "Woooo" taunts, which he delivered in style at Sydney airport earlier today.

Both gentlemen are highly respected by fans, media and their peers. They are known for their genuine passion and respect of the industry and its fans.

The Hulkamania Let The Battle Begin tour headlined by Hogan VS Flair promises to be a wrestling fans dream come true and a once in a lifetime opportunity for Australian wrestling fans to see the icons go at it down under.
