After three days of intense negotiations and months of on-and-off talks, Ric Flair has signed a three-year deal earlier today with the new Hulkamania promotion that will debut with a November tour of Australia.
Flair will be Hogan's main opponent on the announced dates, which are 11/21 in Melbourne, 11/24 in Perth, 11/26 in Brisbane and 11/28 in Sydney.
The deal also includes plans for episodes of a joint Hogan/Flair reality show to be shot on the tour.
The promotion has contacted a number of recent departures from WWE to round out the crew, including Jeff Hardy, although not all have been signed yet, combined with some of Hogan's friends from the 80s like The Nasty Boys.
The plan is to run regular foreign tours. Hogan and Eric Bischoff had been talking about the idea for years, but with both Hogan and Ric Flair going through expensive divorces, it made it a lot easier for both to commit to the project.
The death of actor Patrick Swayze on 9/14 from pancreatic cancer at the age of 57 had two ties to wrestling. Swayze starred in the 1989 movie “Roadhouse,” which also included Terry Funk, and the two did a fight scene where Funk put him over in that movie. Less known is that Swayze’s uncle, “Beautiful” Bruce Swayze had a long career as both a wrestler and later a manager.
We don’t know details, Roddy Piper is apparently seriously ill. He has pulled out of shows on 9/25 and 9/26 in Danbury and Malden, CT.
WWE 24/7 Classics is filming two roundtables later this month. It’s been touch and go whether to continue the series due to economic cutbacks. The subjects will be “The Lost Art of Wrestling Managers” and “The Culture of Southern Wrestling.” Jim Ross, J.J. Dillon, Michael Hayes, Jimmy Garvin and one other person yet to be determined will do the shows.
Joe Babinsack noted Bruno Sammartino’s reaction to C.M. Punk being called the only straight edged world champion in history, is that he didn’t really know what the straight edge term meant, but since he does like to drink a glass of wine with dinner, he doesn’t fit the Punk criteria.
avannah interviewed Burchill who said Hurricane was Gregory Helms, and a fraud. Well, he’s at least half right. Burchill promised to end this charade and eliminate this man. Instead of attacking him, he should just leave him alone with nothing but his twitter and he’ll find a way to eliminate himself.
An interview with Vince McMahon in the new “Untold History of the WWE” magazine (which starts in 1982, at the point Vince bought the company from his father), when asked about when the WWE will acknowledge Benoit as part of company history, McMahon said, “It’s not right to pretend he didn’t exist. It’s one thing to include him as part of a historical perspective, which I believe is okay, and it’s another thing to promote him, which is not okay. The situation is very similar to that of O.J. Simpson, despite his controversy, O.J. was still part of the NFL scene. You can’t deny that he existed.” .
