After three days of intense negotiations and months of on-and-off talks, Ric Flair has signed a three-year deal earlier today with the new Hulkamania promotion that will debut with a November tour of Australia.

 

Flair will be Hogan's main opponent on the announced dates, which are 11/21 in Melbourne, 11/24 in Perth, 11/26 in Brisbane and 11/28 in Sydney.

 

The deal also includes plans for episodes of a joint Hogan/Flair reality show to be shot on the tour.

 

The promotion has contacted a number of recent departures from WWE to round out the crew, including Jeff Hardy, although not all have been signed yet, combined with some of Hogan's friends from the 80s like The Nasty Boys.

 

The plan is to run regular foreign tours. Hogan and Eric Bischoff had been talking about the idea for years, but with both Hogan and Ric Flair going through expensive divorces, it made it a lot easier for both to commit to the project.

Jesus, Flair should go back in.

Oh that has potential to be car crash TV at its best!

Oh well.

 

:dumb Nuff said.

Thats gonna be so horrible to watch. Two legends with a 3 figured combined age, nobody bumping and lots of sagging. Such a shame.

 

I look forward to the undercard though with Brutus, Nasty Boys and whatever other 1980's rejects/Hogan's buddies on the bill. It's the new Heroes of Wrestling ladies and gents.

Meltzer also mentioned they were looking into the possibilty of a Hardy-RVD match unless Jeffery is sent to jail of course...

 

Kennedy, Umaga, Val Venis and Shannon Moore are also confirmed for some dates.

Ah thats not looking too bad then. Shows how much I know, I thought Shannon Moore was still with WWE.

 

Hardy/RVD could be good. Maybe they could bust out Jerry Lynn for a 3 way.

 

Either way the main event will stink and will need so many shortcuts I don't know it can possibly work.

Kennedy, Umaga, Val Venis and Shannon Moore. Not bad for an undercard.

 

I would love to see Venis vs Kennedy.

So....Flair is working for a promotion run by Hulk Hogan? and Most Likely Eric Bischoff, considering he goes anywhere Hulk Hogan goes.

 

Did.....wrestling history just....explode?

Money talks. Simple as. Especially for 2 men who've probably paid out a small fortune for a divorce.
For a touring circus, it's fine. It's a novelty nostalgia act that will probably draw some decent houses and be a nice way for both Flair and Hogan to make a cheap buck and see out the final days of their careers. I wouldn't go see it personally, even if it came to my doorstep, but I'm sure loads would do so and if anyone can make something of it, Hogan and Bischoff can. Like a Harlem Globetrotters of wrestling, but with old cripples.
the main event wouldn't really bother me that much but there could be a few decent matchs in there!
has hardy been fired? when?
**** sake flair just leave it alone.

I'm not one for posting images as the main aspect of a post. But that perfectly conveys how I feel about this. I'll be shocked if the promotion lasts 3 years tbh.

3 years? I'll be surprised if they still exist by the time they come back to America.

The 3 years comment was in reply to him signing a contract with them for 3 years. I'd be surprised if they finish the tour intact, but hey whatever.

 

All this will be is a bunch of old guys that can't work anywhere else and a few WWE drug releases. I have no doubt some people would go to see this due to Hogan's name being there, but I have as much certainty it will fall flat on its face.

Flair back makes me sad flair wrestling 2001 to 2008 made me sad enough but this could be worst
Wrestler comes out of retirement. Shocking.
Money does indeed talk. Go I cant imagine Flair/Hogan in 2009. Truly horrible.

YES!!!

 

:lol
