HULKAMANIA - LET THE BATTLE BEGIN!
For the first time ever, Wrestling Legend Hulk Hogan will tour Australia. His new event HULKAMANIA - Let the Battle Begin, will be playing arenas in Melbourne, Perth, Brisbane and Sydney, November 2009.
For over two decades the name Hulk Hogan has been synonymous with sports entertainment and professional wrestling. Having set live attendance records all over the world including a live gate of more that 96,000 fans at the Pontiac Silverdome, Hulk Hogan has set his sites on Australia as his next frontier.
“I have been blessed with the opportunity to perform in front of fans around the world,” said Hogan. “I have always wanted to perform in Australia as I have heard Aussies are some of the greatest wrestling fans ever. I am grateful for this opportunity, and hope that this is just the beginning of a great thing!”
“In 2002 there were rumours of Hulk Hogan coming to Australia which sent wrestling fans into meltdown,” said promoter Michael Condon. “This time it’s real and confirmed and the Hulk is bringing some of the greats of wrestling with him.”
HULKAMANIA will also i some of the top stars that compete all over the world, and will include state of the art production. The arenas will be plastered with large screens to show the audience what is happening back stage in between wrestling matches. The night will also contain audience participation, a huge pyro techniques display and more.
From his early beginnings as a young wrestler training under the Tutelage of the famed Hiro Matsuda who intentionally broke Hulk Hogan’s leg on his first day of training just to test his desire. Hulk Hogan’s larger that life persona and matching arms have turned the industry into the phenomenon it is today.
“We are thrilled to be working with Condon Sports and Entertainment group and KnokX Pro Entertainment” said Eric Bischoff of Bischoff Hervey Entertainment Television who is helping to bring Hulk Hogan to Australia for this tour.
The official dates for the tour are:
11/21 at Rod Laver Arena in Melbourne
11/24 at Burswood Dome in Perth
11/26 at Brisbane Entertainment Centre in Queensland
11/28 at Acer Arena in Sydney
Tickets will go on sale 9/24. This will be one of the first events promoted by Condon Sports and Entertainment, which opened their doors this month.

Duggan is under a WWE Legends deal and won't want to jeopardize that since Hogan is persona non grata in WWE now. But Brutus and the Tubby Boys are locks.

So, would it have Koko B. Ware, Greg Valentine, Tugboat/Shockmaster/Typhoon, Jim Neidhart, Horace Hogan, and Haku/Meng on it too?
I could see a Hulk Hogan v. 'The Wrestler Formally Known as Umanga' as the Main Event.

It'll draw better than World Wrestling All-Stars, lol. Not sure how much better, but it'll be somewhat better.

| How about a Nasty Boys vs. 'Legion of Pain' ( Road Warrior Animal and Barbarian ) match? Or Hulk Hogan vs. Heidenriech?
