One of the biggest names in WWE history began 2024 with an interesting preview for his fans.
Hulk Hogan is possibly the greatest wrestler of all time. His career spanned from August 1977 to January 2012 and was successful with WWE, WCW, AWA and NJPW, among others. The two-time WWE Hall of Famer has not wrestled since TNA's tour of the United Kingdom on January 27, 2012, where he teamed with Sting and James Storm to defeat Bully Ray, Kurt Angle and Robert Roode.
The Hulkster often mentions a possible return and fans are constantly asking him for “one more fight,” he says. But health problems have kept him away from the ring in recent years. However, the nWo original just posted training footage on Instagram showing him building his iconic “Pythons,” which measured 24 inches at their tip.
Hogan's gym video features a teaser tweet that appears to have since been deleted. The news fuels rumors of a possible return to the ring for the two-time Royal Rumble winner.
“Setbacks are just preparations for epic comebacks, brother! Stand up, dust yourself off and prepare to rise as a champion!” he said.
The former Mr. America then captioned the post with a message of support and encouragement to all Hulkamaniacs.
“You are all champions!! Remember that every fall is a new beginning. Never give up [emoji de bíceps flexionado]”, wrote.
Hogan included a popular song in the Instagram video. The track played is “Voodoo Child” by The Jimi Hendrix Experience, which the former heavyweight champion originally used as an opening theme when he ran amok as Hollywood Hogan in WCW.
WWE is reportedly planning to hold Hulkamania
Hogan's return in 1983 led to the birth of Hulkamania the following year, when The Hulkster became one of, if not, one of them Andl , the most famous professional wrestler of all time. He defeated the Iron Sheik for the WWE Championship at Madison Square Garden on January 23, 1984, and that is the date the company officially recognizes as the birth of Hulkamania.
It has been reported that WWE is planning to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the greatest run in wrestling history. Hulkamania's 40th anniversary celebration includes new collectibles and other merchandise. An appearance by the six-time WCW World Heavyweight Champion is not ruled out, but it is not currently planned either.
