Hogan Heat

By Scott Keith on 8 January 2025

Hi Scott,

With Hulk apparently making a cool 2.5 million a year and 4+ years left of his contract, what would you do with him? Is this just pure go away heat? Could a ‘Hogan’s Heroes stable of Braun, Titus, Lexis – or some faction not named the NWO have a chance of working?

First up, we’re assuming he’s telling the truth about what he’s getting paid. Second, I imagine any money being paid is “We don’t want him showing up in AEW one day” money and not “We have plans for you” money. Like yeah, we know he’s very publicly not welcome in AEW, but wrestling promoters say lots of stuff and then change their minds.
