Could Hulk Hogan make an appearance at Wrestlemania 40? A new report suggests the WWE icon being in Philadelphia for the two-day event is in the works.
We are just a week away from the showcase of the immortals and there have been a boatload of rumors about who could be appearing at the event. There have been rumblings about legends like John Cena and Undertaker showing up, and this past week’s Monday Night Raw had many on social media speculating that Cena and “Stone Cold” Steve Austin could get involved in the card’s main events.
However, a report on Wednesday from PW Insider added a new name to the Wrestlemania 40 speculation. The outlet claimed that along with reaching out to Austin, the company allegedly has put out feelers to see if Hulk Hogan, the man who headlined the event eight times would be up for an appearance.
The Rattlesnake” came out of retirement for a fun match at night one of last year’s Wrestlemania and has kept the door wide open to the possibility of one more match. Hogan has often been a fixture of the event and his playing a role makes a lot of sense for this year’s historic show.
Could Hulk Hogan get involved in Wrestlemania 40 main events?
There has been a great deal of talk in the internet wrestling community that some WWE legends could get involved in the Cody Rhodes vs. The Bloodline feud to help “The American Nightmare” finish the story. While Hogan would be a fun idea as a possible run-in participant, it is highly unlikely.
At 70 years old the “Immortal” one is just not physically up to the level necessary to really make a run-in payoff. Even logistically, his getting down to the ring from the massive entrance ramp set up each year at Wrestlemania would be embarrassingly long. Chances are, Hulk Hogan would make an appearance in between matches to have a fun interaction with a rising star on the current WWE roster.
