News on Hulk signing with WWE

While WWE and Hulk Hogan are still negotiating, the latest report is that the two are close to a deal. Creative is currently working on several different match and storyline scenarios for Hogan at WrestleMania 30.

The most recent talks had Hogan working with John Cena in some way. One possibility is to have Hogan in Cena’s corner while another has Hogan teaming with Cena against the Real Americans. There are also reports that Roddy Piper may be brought in either for a singles match with Hogan (the only singles match for Hogan being discussed) or to team with a heel against Hogan and Cena. Another idea being suggested is Hogan teaming with Piper to face the Real Americans.

Nothing is official right now, but WWE is working under the assumption that Hogan will come to a deal with the company by WrestleMania 30.

With this being said I can first hand say that Hogan is in one of the best shapes he has been in a long time. He has been lifting hard and is in great shape.  I have even heard is has been practicing in a ring. So ring rust should not be a factor.
