Here is the latest on Hulk Hogan's future in wrestling. Hogan and TNA are reportedly still negotiating a deal, with most people feeling that he will end up staying with the company.
But there is interest on the WWE side to negotiate with Hogan to appear during the WrestleMania XXX weekend. WWE has been considering inducting Randy Savage and The Ultimate Warrior into the Hall of Fame, and would reportedly have Hogan induct one of them if that ends up being the case.
Also, WWE wants a big legend to be a part of WrestleMania XXX. This is in order to maintain the over 1 million buys the show has traditionally done over the past few years. With The Rock's status for the event unknown, and Steve Austin not wanting to make a return at this time, the company feels Hogan could be an important draw for the show.
It has also been rumored that if WWE cannot get Hogan, The Rock or Steve Austin to appear that the event could be hyped as the Undertaker's retirement match as the big hook for fans.

While I take this "report" with a huge grain of salt.... if we assume there's any ounce of truth to it; -I'm really surprised they don't have this already figured out - Didn't they used to book these things a year in advance? -I may be the biggest Hogan mark on here; I'd love to see him at 'Mania. I don't think he's physically capable of wrestling though.... -It would be a real shame if Undertaker retired simply because the egos of Hogan, The Rock, & Steve Austin get in the way of their Wrestlemania appearances. I would think if they booked John Cena VS. Undertaker well - you wouldn't need to bill it as a "retirement" match and it would still set records... -I'd love to see Hogan induct Macho Man; It would be really awkward if he inducted Warrior - hasn't Warrior alleged that Hogan is homosexual? I don't think those two get along very well at all and it would be pretty inappropriate for Hogan to induct Warrior. Just have someone like Edge do it, he could talk about being in the crowd at Wrestlemania 6 or something along those lines.... -Realistically - Hogan will probably re-join TNA and all this conversation will be for nothing. There may be blood in the water of TNA, but it's not dead yet - so the shark will be coming to feed.... |

Dirt sheets speculating again, ignore them as they know nothing.

If the streak ends with his retirement to someone like Cena or Ryback I'll wear a "Cornette face" mask for the rest of my life.

BS. Hogan and Warrior can't stand each other. The Rock won't be competing at WM due to filming. Austin won't wrestle another match.
IF this is true, Cena would be the most logical choice for Undertaker's final match. What would be better than seeing him go out on top over the the face of the WWE.
But hey, why not propose he face guys WAY past their prime? Don't understand why people would want to see him compete against guys like Austin and Sting. Why not throw in Hogan, Bret Hart, Kevin Nash, or Ultimate Warrior? SO over this stuff...

I've hated Hogan for damn near 30 years. That being said... He belongs at WM XXX.

I don't mind Hogan showing up at Mania.
Now the Taker thing...he's not gonna retire.
I figure they would have done it by now if they were gonna do it anytime soon.

Haven't they said this every year the last few years?
