TMZ caught up with the Immortal Hulk Hogan the other day while the Hulkster was passing through LAX airport. Hogan was traveling with his wife, Jennifer McDaniel and Jimmy Mouth of the South Hart. It seems that Hulk is upset by Brock Lesnars actions on the Monday Night Raw leading up to SummerSlam. WWE threw a little birthday celebration for the Hulkster who turned 61 complete with appearances from legends like Kevin Nash, Scott Hall, Ric Flair, and Paul Orndorff, as well as 9.99 candles for his cake -- yeah. Brock Lesnar came out to interrupt the festivities and told Hogan, Partys over, grandpa. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5DaY7_KsIwI When speaking with TMZ, the Hulkster seemed offended by the comment, saying, Brock, I havent done anything to get in your way, but if you keep throwing my name around Im gonna get in your way. Hogan continued to throw shade, elaborating with you cant say that stuff in front of my wife and kids. Its not cool,l brother. I know this is all entertainment were supposed to have fun with it, but when start throwing my name around, with my wife and my kids, its crossing the line. It remains to be seen at this time if Hogan is going into business for himself and working the dirt sheets a little, or if the Hulkster is legitimately upset by the grandpa line. If this is indeed a shoot, then it seems that Hogan may need to lighten up a bit. No, hes not technically a grandfather, but the man did just turn 61 -- hes no spring chicken either. For what its worth, TMZ is adding fuel to the fire by reporting that Lesnars comment was not scripted, potentially aiding Hogan in his feelings. But again, this may all be for naught with Hulk just being Hulk and trying to drum up some further interest. Do you think Hulk Hogan has cause to be offended or is he blowing things out of proportion? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below.
