From the WWE Rumor Mill: Hulk Hogan to wrestle again in WWE?

What's the story?

Hulk Hogan was recently a guest on The Howard Eskin Show, while he was in Philadelphia over the weekend. Hogan spoke about a few different things, but the real interesting part of it apparently came from a conversation between Hogan and Howard Eskin, off the air.

In case you didn't know...

Hulk Hogan's last televised match happened in 2011, at Impact Wrestling's Bound For Glory event, with Sting. As Hogan had injuries to his knees and back at the time, the match became more of an angle, and didn't involve Hogan getting very physical until towards the end.

Hulk Hogan's last actual match, to date, occurred during the 'TNA Maximum Impact Tour' back in 2012. Although initially un-televised, the match, a 6 man tag pitting Hogan, Sting and James Storm vs. Bobby Roode, Bully Ray and Kurt Angle, can be found on the Impact Wrestling Hulk Hogan DVD extras.

There have been numerous reports over the past 2 years about Hulk Hogan possibly returning to WWE. The most recent and legit of Hogan return rumors came earlier this week when TMZ revealed that a deal between WWE and Hulk Hogan is pretty close to being reached.

The heart of the matter

During his appearance on The Howard Eskin Show, Hulk Hogan spoke on a number of topics. However, it appears the real interesting part of their conversation occurred off the air.

Howards Eskin revealed that a deal between Hulk Hogan and WWE is just about done, and even more incredibly, Hogan may be wrestling one more match for WWE. Eskin said:

"The Hulkster, he really is a good guy and we didn't talk about it, because it's not done yet but it's all but done, he's coming back to the WWE and from what I understand, and again, we didn't talk about it, he's going to wrestle again at an event.

Hogan is coming back to WWE. It's not done yet but it is all but done. The Hulkster will be back!"

What's next?

We are still waiting for more information on the supposed talks between WWE and Hulk Hogan, as first revealed by TMZ.

Author's take

It is hard to know what to believe here. I mean this does tie in well with the TMZ reports of Hogan to be near closing a deal with WWE, but then again at the same time, this wouldn't be the first time Hogan would be telling people fibs about working for and wrestling for WWE again.
