Hulkamania is running wild again in the WWE.
Hulk Hogan,
perhaps the biggest star in the company's 50-year history, is set to
bring the red-and-yellow back to the sports entertainment behemoth and
will host the April 6 WrestleMania in New Orleans.
Hogan
returns to the WWE after a six-year absence and will be on Monday's
''Raw'' on the USA Network. Hogan will also bring the muscle for the
WWE's launch of its own network: He will appear on ''WWE Raw Backstage
Pass,'' airing live on WWE Network at 11:05 p.m. on Monday night.
The
60-year-old Hogan's return is perfectly timed for both the 30th
WrestleMania and the new network, which debuts Monday as a streaming
service for $9.99 per month with a six-month commitment and will include
all 12 pay-per-view events.
Hogan
was the main draw for the first WrestleMania in 1985 and was a fixture
for years in WWE's signature event, facing everyone from Andre The Giant
and Randy Savage to The Rock and, yes, company chairman Vince McMahon.
He's in shape and could be ready to mix it up, if needed, at the
Superdome.
''Right now, it's not in the plans,'' Hogan said. ''But like they say in the WWE, never say never.''
