Hogan Says He Was Up For Lead Role In ‘The Wrestler’, London, More

» In an interview with the Los Angeles Times, Hulk Hogan reveals that he, not Mickey Rourke, was originally asked to play the lead character in The Wrestler. Hogan says he was sent the script and considered for the part of Randy “The Ram” Robinson. When talking about blading, Hogan said there are wrestlers who blade 25 to 30 times per week. He also said he has friends who do staple gun matches similar to the one in The Wrestler 300 nights per year. Gotta’ love Hogan! Hogan and Kurt Angle are just hilarious when you listen to them when they do media interviews and talk wrestling.

» As noted earlier here on the website, recently released WWE Superstar Scotty Goldman is already back in the ring as he competed at last night’s Pro Wrestling Guerrilla event in California, losing a three-way match against Human Tornado and PWG Champion Chris Hero. Additionally, Paul London made his first wrestling-related appearance since his departure from WWE at last night’s PWG show as well. London cut a promo saying said he would be working his “first wrestling match in five years” by wrestling in a six-man tag in the event’s main event. Paul London and Young Buck (PWG Tag Team Champions Nick & Matt Jackson) beat “Machine Gun” Karl Anderson and Dynasty (Joey Ryan & Scott Lost) when London nailed a Shooting Star Press on Lost for the win.
