Hogan's Wrestling Company, Wrestlers Are Computer Geeks

The following comes from The Sun newspaper here in the UK:

- Hogan says he is trying to start up his own company that will take the focus off of guys with the big muscular physiques. "I don't know what the other federations can do, but I do know what I can do and it's all part of my plan for a new wrestling idea. It came from another person and when they told it to me it was the smartest thing I'd ever heard." Hogan says he has been speaking to people from American TV networks and other "important people in L.A." He says the first two weeks they raised $40million and he needs about $80-100million to start the company. "If me and my partners pull it off then the wrestlers will have a more natural look and an easier schedule – all of the things people are saying the business needs. And then Vince McMahon and everyone else in the business will have to follow suit."

- When talking about the way things are today, Hogan said: "There's definitely much less of a party scene and cocaine use today. When I went back to the WWE, I'd go down to the Marriott bar after the show – and all you would see is Ric Flair there with a Jack Daniels and Hulk Hogan drinking a beer. In the old days every wrestler would be in the bar and then they'd go out and stay out all night. But now they are all upstairs on their computers. Maybe they're not playing games up there, but it certainly seems a lot better."

- Hogan admitted to heavy use of steroids years back and said "I thank God I'm still alive!" The article also includes some quotes from his 2003 autobiography and some more steroid related stuff.
