Hogan Tour on again?

Hulk Hogan is planning on doing a farewell tour along with several other stars of the 80's. The tour will be focusing primarily on markets overseas as well as Canada since the Hogan vs. Paul "Big Show" Wight match in Memphis had such a poor turnout.

 

What is interesting about this tour is that Eric Bischoff, whose WWE contract is about to expire, has been quietly linked to the tour by participants.

 

If they come to the UK, I'll only go if they book Bobby Eaton :D

If Hogan tours UK, I'll cum in my panties. I've never seen Hogan live, so you can imagine right?

That would be a sight to see ;)

Whatever turns you on......

I can guarantee you, if Hogan tours the UK (which will be smaller venues than WWE does at the moment) he will sell out everywhere he goes. There are so many people in the UK who weren't following WWE back in 1991-92. I'd be doing my damn best to get a ticket for a show.

[Dead Crow 370]

I'd buy a ticket, but I don't have enough glass bottles on me.

 

I'll wait for the Charles Wright Gimmick Reunion Tour, me thinks...

[Guest Jung]

He'd have to Real American to come out too though.

 

Just wouldn't be the same otherwise.

[Guest Laffy]

I would defo buy a ticket for that just to experience a live Hogan match with the atmosphere should be great if it happens.

[Guest Chriscare]

I'd definatly go, it'd be an awesome atmosphere

[Guest The B-Man]

I don't think that he came out to Real American when he did the match with Paul Wight there recently. I might be wrong though!

[Guest Jung]

That explains the poor crowd then. Its hypnotic I tell you. Draws in the punters brother.

He came out to "American Made", which was his (face) WCW music.

Ah that sucks. I'd still go if he toured the UK. Should be interesting to see who they add to the lineup.

[Guest The Beltster]

Yeah he would use American Made, which is cool enough but Real American would be so much better.

 

I'd just use Voodoo Child, if its a bunch of untelivised house shows, nobody would really know so he could get away without paying royalties and just edit it out of HKB later.

 

Thing is, I doubt Hogan really cares what theme he uses, as long as the money is good for the gates :lol

If he was going to do that, then "Real American" would work to I assume?

I'd venture to guess Vince will have his eyes on anything Hogan does to see if he slips up on anything he can sue him over whereas I doubt Jimi Hendrix' estate would be doing the same thing.

I would presume so, unless that is tied in any Hogan image contract that the WWE might hold....

WWE own the rights to Real American, but only the version they have used over the years as it was recorded specifically for a WWF-owned album.

 

Rick Derringer has since released 2 or 3 other variations of the song which Hogan could use, but they all suck.

Why not get Derringer to sing it live? I'm sure Vince couldn't sue a guy for singing his own song.

[Guest Loves To Spooge]

if this happens, it will be awesome. i will be there no doubt.

[Guest Rog]

Correct me if Im wrong but would this be Hogans first UK wrestling appearance in over twenty years?

He last toured in June/July 1993 after he lost the belt to Yokozuna at King of the Ring, beating Yoko by DQ every night. Those were his last matches in the WWF until he returned in 2002.

Interesting, so this could be the first/last chance to see him live.

[Guest The Beltster]

IF he ends up touring the UK, I'd definately say it will be the very last chance to ever see him live over here, I'll be extremely surprised if it happens though as I very much doubt it.

 

For anybody who hasnt seen Hogan live, even if you DESPISE him, I'd recommend going because he is the biggest legendary figure in wrestling, just go to say you have seen him.

[Guest MastersGonads]

Im really not a fan of wrestling but as Belty says he is an icon both in the ring an out....I would go just so he could sign my Suburban Commando VHS!!
