Some people just don't want to step out of the spotlight, brother. Hulk Hogan recently announced a new project alongside Eric Bischoff in a video on social media. The duo, known for their influential roles in WCW and later TNA, hinted at a return to the wrestling world, while teasing the presence of a "third man."

While it's hard to get excited about these two in 2025, Hulk Hogan and Eric Bischoff have caught the internet wrestling community's attention with a cryptic black-and-white video reminiscent of their iconic nWo days. The Hulkster was sporting his "Hollywood" look, decked out in black and even wearing an earring.
You people know who we are. You have no idea what we’re about. We’re back!
Hogan and Bischoff share a long, controversial history that helped reshape the world of professional wrestling. Their partnership was most famously cemented during the mid-1990s in WCW, where Bischoff, as executive producer and later company president, orchestrated Hogan’s shocking heel turn and the creation of the New World Order, a storyline that fueled WCW’s dominance over WWE during the Monday Night Wars. After WCW’s fall, the two reunited in TNA Wrestling in the late 2000s/early 2010s, where they once again tried to recapture past glory with poor results.
In their latest video, they promised to rock our world with their announcement, and even teased a "third man" to be added. This, of course, is a reference to Hogan being the "third man" at WCW's Bash At The Beach 1996, where he officially formed the nWo alongside Kevin Nash and Scott Hall.
Eric Bischoff teased the credentials of the unnamed third member, noting his numerous championships and the world-class athletes he has brought to prominence, but withheld the identity, stating, “No. Not yet”. Hogan described the mystery partner as a “real badass,” further fueling speculation.
Fans have been trying to guess the identity of this third man, with some suggesting it could be Vince McMahon, especially considering his absence from the wrestling industry since he was ousted from WWE and his rumored interest in starting another entertainment company. However, others believe the project might be a new podcast or media venture, given Bischoff's success with his "83 Weeks" podcast.
Jimmy Hart is another name that has quite literally held championships for his clients and has definitely helped bring success to many wrestlers, but he likely isn't the "badass" Hogan is talking about. Another potential candidate is Kevin Nash, who has history with both men.
While the exact nature of Hogan and Bischoff's new endeavor remains under wraps, their shared history suggests that this project could have some fun implications. Fans are awaiting further announcements to uncover the full scope of this collaboration.
