Hulk Gets New Ink

According to ETonline.com, Hulk Hogan and girlfriend Jennifer were spotted getting tattoos in Las Vegas on Friday night. Apparently, Jennifer got a tattoo that read "Terry" on the inside of her right wrist and Hulk got "I AM THAT, I AM" on the inside of his right forearm. Why this is news? I'm not sure. But I'll report it anyways.

More News Regarding Possible Locations for Hulkamania Tour; No North America Dates Planned

Prowrestling.net recently posted this information regarding Hulk's World Tour:

Eric Bischoff and Hulk Hogan revisited the idea of doing an overseas tour about eight months ago and after considering shows in Europe and South Africa, they had talks with Reno Anoa'i, the brother of Rikishi. Reno promoted the Nu Wrestling Evolution promotion overseas and is working with Hogan's Hulkamania tour. He hooked Hogan and Bischoff up with promoters Patrick and Michael Condon who struck a deal to hold the tour in Australia. The promoters have connections in China and there is talk of expanding the tour or running a show in Macau, China but nothing is official yet.

According to Bischoff, there are no plans right now to do a North American pay-per-view as he feels it would be a tough sell no matter how good the tour is without weekly TV in North America to promote it. There are talks of releasing some DVD's though but nothing is official on that yet either.

Dixie Carter Willing To Fire Russo To Sign Hulk?

The following excerpt is from PWTorch:

While it may appear that Dixie is completely behind Russo, there was talk within TNA that she would be willing to fire him had her recent negotiations with Hulk Hogan led to him signing a contract. Hogan apparently still will not work with Russo, and one story making the rounds is that he wanted Kevin Sullivan and Kevin Nash to be the bookers if he was to join TNA. The deal obviously never went through and it appears that talks between the two sides are finished.

Whisker Biscuit Confirms He WON'T Be Doing Hulkamania Tour

Per his Twitter, Whisker Biscuit Bitch Bill Goldberg stated that he had "zero plans" to join the Hogan tour. In addition, he says "The old man wants all the $ for himself. Plus, 3 reality shows on tap." You know, he's probably right. I can't imagine that Hulk is in a very generous mood these days. Ah well, Goldberg is an afterthought. Fuck him.
