Will Hulk Hogan Be at Wrestlemania XXV?

Vince McMahon and Hulk Hogan had an interesting chat about Wrestlemania XXV last weekend. Things didn't go all that well.

No Hulk Hogan...Yet

In a recent radio interview, Hulk Hogan revealed that he sat down with Vince McMahon last weekend to discuss a deal for Wrestlemania XXV.

With this year's event being the 25th anniversary show, Vince McMahon really wanted one of his biggest stars ever to be involved.

The two threw ideas back and forth at one another. They also discussed money.

However, at the end of the meeting, both sides agree that it wasn't likely to happen.

Between the Lines

In the interview, Hulk Hogan stated that a deal could not be reached because the two couldn't agree on an idea for Wrestlemania XXV.

Personally, I don't buy that at all.

Hulk Hogan is a smart business man. He knows what he's worth to Vince McMahon at Wrestlemania XXV.

The three people that Vince McMahon wants at Wrestlemania XXV more than anyone else are Stone Cold, the Rock, and Hulk Hogan.

We all know the Rock is going to be difficult to convince. Steve Austin will already be there for his Hall of Fame induction.

More than likely, he went into the meeting with the plan to ask for a lot more money than Vince McMahon was willing to pay.

He also knew that there was a very good chance that a deal wasn't going to be made in the first meeting.

I wouldn't at all be surprised if there were other meetings between these two before Wrestlemania XXV takes place.

Family Relations

Hulk Hogan knows that his family name has been tarnished thanks to his son's reckless driving.

For those of you that don't know, Nick Hogan spent time in jail for getting into a street racing accident; his friend will be severely injured for life.

It also didn't help the family name when a recording of an extremely insensitive conversation between Hulk Hogan and Nick Hogan regarding the victim was released to the public.

With that in mind, Hulk Hogan has announced that he would donate the money that he made for Wrestlemania XXV to the family of the victim.

That amount of money isn't going to make the victim any better, but it is going to help clean up the Hogan name a little bit.

Closing Thoughts

Nothing to get worked up about, folks. It's still a ways away from Wrestlemania XXV. I'll still bet money that Hulk Hogan will be involved somehow.
