Hulk Hogan being added to WWE’s tour of Japan apparently helped big time with ticket sales and Hogan’s return to the country was seen as a big deal. Hogan was met by more than 100 reporters and photographers when he arrived at the airport. Hogan spent a lot of time meeting with the local media and appeared on two network talk shows and had eight print interviews.
Hogan himself coming in was said to have been bigger in the media than the WWE tour as a whole. On the second night of the tour in Tokyo, Japanese legend Yoshihiro Takayama was sitting at ringside wearing a Hogan t-shirt.
