Hogan and company comment on Randy Savage, John Cena, Steve Austin, working for Vince McMahon, and much more
After two delays getting to Green Bay, "Hulk and Friends" finally made it here after six months. Hulk Hogan, The Nasty Boys, Brutus Beefcake, Koko B Ware, Greg Valentine, and Jim Duggan all appeared.
Because of the delays, they held an autograph session that they didn't have planned for the original shows I don't believe. It was awesome to meet all the wrestlers up close, and the real highlight of the night for me. They signed past the time because there was a huge line with the usual autograph hounds, the average fans, and the diehards dressed up like Hulk. The line went so slow because they all were extremely generous to each fan and took countless pictures and signed tons of items.
In quick summary, I can say they were all extremely nice. The real story from the session was Hulk Hogan, though. He was so nice to every fan, posed for pictures, and listened to what each said. He also joked around with the wrestlers all around the table, and it was surreal to be up close to him, and I don't ever mark out at much these days. Considering every fan probably told him about the same thing, he really listened to what each said, and had nice responses and made conversation.

Hulk Hogan And Friends Tour - Press Release and First Event
“The Hulk Hogan and Friends Tour” is currently on the road and making stops at casinos and venues across the country. The legendary Hogan offered fans a once in a life time intimate event at the Red Robin Theatre in Vancouver, Canada last week, as cohorts Brian Knobs and Jerry Sags aka "Nasty Boys", Brutus Beefcake, Greg "The Hammer" Valentine, Koko B. Ware and Hacksaw "Jim Duggan", along with Jimmy "Mouth of the South" Hart serving as MC answered questions for the capacity crowd and took pictures with fans and signed autographs at a VIP reception. The Casino appearance kicked off what promises to be a world-wide tour for Hogan and his band of “grapplers”.
Hogan’s longtime marketing agent Darren Prince of Prince Marketing Group said “casinos all over the world and Fortune 500 corporations have expressed interest in booking the tour, in which the wrestling legends share some of their funniest, most truthful and interesting stories never heard before.” Prince said he “touched on the idea with Hogan a couple years back and, with everything going on in Hulks personal life at the time, he just didn't have the availability. So we partnered with one of the top casino booking agencies in the country, Soap Opera Festivals. Hulk couldn’t be more excited and the guys love getting together.”
This site www.hulkandfriends.com has been established for fans to view footage of Hulk and his crew at events and also to check the calendar to find out when the Hogan and Friends tour will be in their city. Inquires to book the tour can also be made at helpdesk@princemarketinggroup.com.

Wrestlers Hulk Hogan And Friends Tell Tales Of Their Days In Ring
Life behind the scenes and on the mat straight from the Hulkster's mouth. The idea for an onstage roundtable session with Hulk Hogan and his wrestling pals swapping stories from their days in the ring and on the road came when Hogan's agent walked into a dressing room before a match. "It's kind of like before we get dressed we tell these crazy stories, what we call between the brotherhood," Hogan says over the phone. "(Agent) Darren Prince happened to be there and goes, man, you guys should do that in front of a bunch of people. They wouldn't believe it."
So Hogan and company set up Sunday's Vancouver show to see if the idea works. They'll tell stories and take questions from the audience."We're free-balling it. We're supposed to only tell stories for an hour and a half but, I got a feeling, this is going to go on for hours."Joining him on stage will be Jimmy "Mouth of the South" Hart, Brutus Beefcake, Greg Valentine, Brian Knobs and Jerry Sags aka "Nasty Boys", Honky Tonk Man, and Koko B. Ware. In the afternoon before the show, they will be signing autographs and posing with fans outside the theatre. By Glen Schaefer, The Province
