Hulk Hogan Wants Final Match In WWE Against Vince McMahon
WrestleMania. Lock up your great, great, great granddaughters.
Hulk Hogan has stated that he'd like to wrestle one final match for WWE at WrestleMania, but he wants it to be against the company's owner Vince McMahon.
Speaking to WrestlingAC.com while the company were visiting Saudi Arabia earlier this month, the former world champion expressed regret at the way his in-ring career had finished. Particularly that his last match was in TNA and not in WWE.
“History is very important to me. I’ve had a very long career and part of my career was with a very, very small company and a very gracious lady named Dixie Carter at TNA. I had actually my last match there. That’s hard for me to live with. I want my last match to be in the WWE.
Hogan's current curtain closer was on the TNA Maximum Impact Tour of the UK in 2012, teaming up with James Storm and Sting to defeat Bobby Roode, Bully Ray and Kurt Angle. Yes, you've read all of that correctly and, yes, TNA was absolutely insane back then. Not quite as insane as the prospect of Hogan vs Vince at WrestleMania, but certainly up there.
“The one I’d love to get in the ring with if I only had one person? It would be Vince McMahon. I’ve been pushing and negotiating very hard and I’m getting very, very healthy again. I’m in good shape. I’m a little bit under 300 pounds, maybe 295 pounds. I’m getting ready. I’m going to have one little teeny surgery on my back, it’ll take me a couple of months to recover, but I’ve got my eyes focused on WrestleMania."
