Hulk Hogan has signed a new contract with World Wrestling Entertainment.
During a recent appearance on “INSIGHT with Chris Van Vliet,” pro wrestling legend Hulk Hogan revealed that he has signed a new WWE Legends deal.
“You know, I still work with the WWE all the time,” he said. “I just renewed my deal with them, you know. And [Does that mean, we can hear your music hit sometime soon]. I hope so. Itโs always fun to go out there. And maybe I can hang on to one of the wrestlers to get me out to the ring. But itโs really crazy. Because when I was the worldโs champion, you know, we sold a tonne of merchandise. We didnโt have the vehicle to the internet and the stuff that they have nowadays. But we sold a lot of stuff you know, back in the day.”
Hogan continued, “The cartoon were very supportive of the merchandise and stuff like that. And you know, it was kind of strange because I think I had 350 licensees which are like individual deals, Frisbees, watches, headbands, chalk, kites, potty seats, tennis shoes, whatever it may be. And now that Iโm kind of like Jimmy Hart says, well, baby, baby, whatโs old is new again. Whatโs old is new again. And I said, Jimmy, youโre right. Iโve been approving merchandise every day, I get new stuff coming in. And Iโm up to like, 850,000, you know, like, 900,000 pieces of merchandise. Iโm sorry, Iโm mistaken itโs 300 different agencies. Iโm up to 900 licensees not 900,000. Iโm thinking wrong. But instead of 300 deals for Frisbees, or whatever, itโs up to almost 900. Yeah. So itโs like, Iโm Elvis is still alive. You know, itโs kind of scary. I donโt know. So but itโs just amazing how the fans have made this live forever, you know, itโs amazing.”
