In an interview with the Chicago Tribune newspaper, Hulk Hogan pulled no punches when talking about his relationship with WWE CEO Vince McMahon. Hogan admits that his return to wrestling is partially motivated by money, but says the desire to help the industry and compete with Vince are also factors.
"Some people say Vince made wrestling and some say it was Hulk Hogan," Hogan said. "We both did it together. I thought it would be cool to see who has more juice right now." He added "I still have reasons to go do this, and it’s not just because I need to make money -- which I do. I still love it. I still love it, man. I don’t know what else to say."
Hulk explained that he wears his WWE Hall of Fame ring to cover up a tattoo of his ex-wife's name, but any value the ring has is purely sentimental. "I think Vince McMahon paid $20 for it. My high school ring was better than this thing."
Despite the expectations that he's coming to TNA to wrestle, his true motivation is to get people excited about wrestling again. "It’s all about having fun and making the crowd go crazy and I think I can still do that, man. I might limp a little and might have to pull myself up by the ropes to get up, but I won’t know until I get in there," he said. "If I really do embarrass myself to the point where fans are laughing at me, I’ll leave."
