Hulk Hogan Talks About a Possible Network Show, Wanting CM Punk Back In WWE, Movies

– Hulk Hogan recently spoke with RedEyeChicago.com to promote WWE’s WrestleMania XXX. Here are some highlights:

 


 

Back in 2005, you had a reality show, “Hogan Knows Best.” With the WWE Network debuting this year, could a new show be in the cards?

I would love to do a reality show for the network, brother. I would never bring cameras into my home again, but I have a place in Tampa [Fla.] called Hogan’s Beach. It’s kind of a restaurant and bar setting where it’s on the beach. It’s a huge party place and on the weekends I have 3,000 to 4,000 people coming in, along with these great DJs to host a great time. I would love to have some WWE superstars come down and tend bar or cook. It’s like a “Baywatch” meets “Cheers” sort of thing.

You have done plenty of acting, including in “Mr. Nanny” and “Rocky III.” Any plans to pursue movie roles again?

You know what is so cool, man? I am way beyond of what The Rock is doing now. I would be much more of a great supporting actor because I’m not that type directors are looking for as the lead man. We all know how great of a bad guy Hollywood Hogan can be, so forming into an older Clint Eastwood would be awesome. I would like to be a serial killer or going above the law and doing things that might be illegal, but for the right reasons.

Chicago has always been a hotbed for wrestling. What are your thoughts on CM Punk leaving and the possibility of him coming back?

I don’t know why he quit and what the situation was about, but I was really looking forward to meeting the man and getting to know him. As far as me, I have a personal opinion on it and I would love for him to come back. If he needs time off whether it was business or personal, it’s none of my business. Whatever it was, he was such a great superstar and I would love for him to come back.
