WWE Greatest Royal Rumble: Predicting 10 Entrants Not Yet Announced

2. Hulk Hogan

Are WWE dangling carrots just to troll their audience at this point?

Hulk Hogan was all over the extensive marketing of HBO's Andre The Giant special, gently reintroduced into WWE video packages last year and heavy-handedly referenced for the gag introduction of R-Truth on the Superstar Shake-up episode of SmackDown Live!

He wasn't given significant profile over WrestleMania weekend, but it's just about the only period in recent history where it hasn't looked as though WWE are working on a 'Hulkamania' soft-launch.

There are countless reasons why he may still be a million miles from the thoughts of just about anybody in the company of course, but Vince McMahon himself once posited that a hundred-year-old 'Hulkster' could be pushed out in a wheelchair and still bring tens of thousands unglued. Saudi Arabia would still afford him time to march proudly into battle himself.

The contest even suits his limited mobility. Hogan could easily throw some famous rights, waggle a finger in a foe's face and potentially hit a big boot to the shortest roster member's bonce. With so much already promised for the show, why not pile another insane surprise on top.
