The John Cena TMZ interview where he said Hulk Hogan was too old to wrestle is said to have been something of significance and not an off the cuff remark. Cena isn’t going to insult Hulk Hogan publicly with a remark like that unless it’s to tease something for business. If Hogan is to be in WrestleMania the scenarios that seemed to make the most sense were a singles match with Cena if there was a way he could get through it, and that is a very big if. People who have been around Hogan tell me there’s no way he should and if that’s the case, I kind of hope he doesn’t, but that doesn’t mean he won’t try. Given Hogan is in a million times worse shape than someone like Edge, who WWE doctors said they would never clear and his career is over (although that was due to a specific neck injury due to fear of paralysis from a bad bump and WWE not wanting to be liable), but I can’t imagine with the shape Hogan’s back is in for that not to be at least a serious concern. The other scenario would be a Hogan & Cena team. Either way, it would have to be made clear it’s Hogan’s retirement match at WrestleMania XXX. Hogan never had a real retirement match and from a storybook standpoint, he should, this is the time because he shouldn’t work again, and WrestleMania is the only place. TNA had built an angle for he and Bully Ray forever to build for a showdown and he never did it, but this is a completely different level and if it’s at all possible, it’s the only way and place to end it if he can. There was a ton of Hogan stuff in various video packages that they were playing to the live crowd at Raw in Seattle.
Henry, 42, is right now saying he’s going to wrestle for two more years, until his contract expires, and then his goal is to work with kids in urban communities in some form. Henry had talked retirement for it seems like a few years, well before he signed his current contract and even before he did the retirement angle, but it is something he’s now setting the table for.
There is a trademark battle over the Fandango name. WWE attempted to trademark the term Fandango for use for a pro wrestler. Comcast has trademarked the term Fandango for its movie ticketing service. That’s one of the reasons WWE at one point dropped the character after introducing him, and at another point spelled it “Fandangoo.” .
