Don't you wish your girlfriend was hot like he?

It may have boiled down to a token appearance, but Hulk Hogan's return as host of Crown Jewel is all part of a healing process. This marks significant progress for Hulk's topsy-turvy relationship with WWE; don't forget that, just a few years ago, the company were happy to delete the legend from their history books.

As he picked up the pieces of his reputation post-racist comments, Hogan must have been thinking back to something he said to Eric Bischoff in the WCW days. Find out what that was in this week's article, brother (it's physically impossible to write about Hulk without doing that at the end, sorry).

Other facts you'll want to know look at the real reason why Bisch promoted that Monster Truck match between 'Hulk Hogan' and 'The Giant' at Halloween Havoc 1995. Also, find out why Billy Gunn's 'Mr. Ass' gimmick fell by the wayside. It had nothing to do with him and everything to do with a bigger name's new character.

On top of all that, there's cross-dressing, spitting, racism, panic attacks and Disney. They're not all linked, don't worry...
