Hulk Hogan Signs New WWE Contract
Hulk Hogan has signed a new contract with WWE.
Although it’s been some time since he appeared live on television, Hulk Hogan has remained an occasional presence on WWE programming appearing in video packages across several events. And despite the controversy that’s surrounded the star in recent weeks that doesn’t look like changing.
During an appearance on the Impaulsive podcast with Logan Paul, Hogan revealed he’s signed a new five-year deal with WWE.
“Working with Vince (McMahon) for all that time, and now working with Nick Khan. I signed a five-year deal. I’m 71 years old in a few weeks. I signed a five-year deal for the licensing and merchandising stuff, and ambassador stuff, if they need me to do something for WrestleMania. I just love doing it. It’s definitely different,”
Hogan went on to detail one discussion with Khan regarding his new Real American Beer.
“What I feel with the leadership is working with Nick Khan now. He’s more, for me, business cut and dry. He doesn’t overthink the creative. Nick Khan is strictly business. I said, ‘Hey brother, this art work that hasn’t been used for 35 years. I need it for my Real American Beer.’ Nick Khan says, ‘Let me get back to you in a couple of days.’ ‘No rush.’
He calls me back, we talked, I don’t want to give numbers, ‘You can use the artwork. I need X amount of percentage out of every million bucks you make.’ Instead of me paying you guys hundreds and thousands of dollars, and potentially millions of dollars, I can go out for $300 bucks and have someone do this artwork that is reasonably similar, maybe reasonably confusing.
Nick goes, ‘Let me just give it to you.’ Good, we’re on same team, brother. Nick was really cool. He made it really easy on me. Vince was great, too, but I don’t know if Vince would make that quick of a decision. Nick has been very easy, supportive, and helpful,”
Controversy Continues To Follow Hulk Hogan
The news comes after Hulk Hogan was filmed making a series of derogatory comments about US Vice President Kamala Harris at a promotional event in Medina, Ohio. Weeks earlier, Hogan gave a speech at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, where he endorsed Donald Trump.
WWE celebrated the 40th anniversary of Hulkamania in January 2024 with the star appearing in a pre-tape video.
