Hulk Hogan is just days away from launching his own wrestling federation. Hogan and ex-WCW supremo Eric Bischoff are partnering up to take on the WWE. According to the article Hogan and Bischoff are preparing to sign a television deal with a network in the United States. He revealed: “Last night me and Eric were getting ready to sign a deal with one of the TV networks here in America.
"We had a little bit of a problem with the licensing and merchandising, which has delayed it.
“But I totally expect we’re going to sign the TV portion of this very soon, because there’s no point in starting any sort of wrestling organisation without the TV locked in place.
“Now we’re just arguing among the lawyers on how to protect the brand and the image and make sure it’s a fair deal for everybody.
“Once we’ve wrapped the TV up we’ll make the official announcement. The network want to make a really big deal of it.”
