Hulk Hogan has been making headlines in recent weeks as the Hulkster was booed during his appearance on Raw earlier this month. Despite the reaction Hulk Hogan received the belief is that WWE will continue to work with him, and he was featured in advertisements for the most recent episode of Saturday Night’s Main Event.
Despite the fact that Hogan was heavily featured in ads for Saturday Night’s Main Event he didn’t end up making an appearance, and it was reported ahead of the time that he would be missing the show due to family commitments.
Recently Dave Meltzer discussed the situation on Wrestling Observer Radio, and he indicated that there’s more to the situation than meets the eye.
“There’s more to the Hogan thing than meets the eye. I’m just not sure exactly yet what it is. I’m not saying that because it’s suspicious, I’m saying that because I was absolutely told that – that there’s more than meets the eye, that’s the exact wording I was told.
“It’s just weird that you pull out of a show that has been built around you, you’re the only one in the advertising, and then you pull out over a wedding. Which, hey, look, your son’s getting married, sure, I get that, but it’s like, how many weeks have they promoted this with Hogan? Including the night before.
“Unless Nick told him the day before, ‘Hey, I’m getting married tomorrow’… wouldn’t you go like, ‘Dude, I’ve got a commitment here that you know about, they’re advertising this whole show around me’.
“There is something that doesn’t meet the eye on this one, it does not pass the smell test. Either Hogan not telling them until the end, that’s weird. Nick deciding to get married at the last minute, if that’s the case, that’s weird. It’s weird. I know people are trying to say now, ‘Oh, he was never actually scheduled’. I can tell you from talking to people for weeks, he absolutely was scheduled, so it’s not that.”
