Hulk Hogan went on SportFM Radio in Perth to promote Tuesday's show at the Burwood Dome. In a statement that doesn't bode well for Vince Russo, Ed Ferrera, et all, when asked about one thing he would change about the wrestling business, he said: "I hate the writers. I cannot stand that
they have a writing team sitting in the back telling the wrestlers what to say and telling the wrestlers what to do in the ring... They have a team of writers in the back that don't understand this business, that have never been to the big show, that have never been in the big main events... I'm going to take the writers and tell them, 'Go get another job. Sit in the back. If I need you to write a jingle for a commercial, maybe we'll use you for that.' This is the wrestling business. If these wrestlers can't talk and these wrestlers can't wrestle then they need to
head for the door. " Regarding TNA talent, he said he really enjoys watching Kurt Angle, Sting and AJ Styles because they understand wrestling the old way and don't sit in the back and choreograph their matches move for move. However, he also said, "Whoever's not on my team... On Team Hogan at TNA, they're going to be at the bottom of the
pile." He claimed he ran into Steve Austin just before he flew out to Australia. I know for a fact this never happened, but anyway, he said: "I went to a Gold's Gym in Venice Beach, California and there he was. He was working out during the day. He was doing a movie with my buddy
Sylvester Stallone. And I told him, 'Brother, I'm going back to work. I'm getting back in the ring. If you want some come get some. Money's not a problem. Your schedule's not a problem. If you really want to get in the ring and you really want to make history then come get into the
ring with Hulk Hogan.' I did not get an answer." When asked about his relationship with Vince McMahon, he said: "Brother, it's a love-hate relationship, you know. I talk to him once in a while when ever he needs a main event for Wrestlemania but right now, once I get done with this
Australian tour, I am going back to the United States to run TNA - Total Nonstop Action Wrestling. It's another promotion that you guys are very familiar with here in Australia and I'm getting ready to take over the
helm and it's going to be the number one wrestling company in the world just like when I did back in the 90s when I formed the nWo and we took over the wrestling business. I'm going to do that again." He did a good job of putting over TNA here, but made it clear he will bury anyone not on Team Hogan.
