Below are a couple of top news stories of the day, featuring Hulk Hogan and Bryan Danielson.
• Hulk Hogan appeared on Logan Paul’s Impaulsive podcast and talked about how the wrestling business is a shoot when it comes to making money.
The Hulkster went on to reveal that he made more money than Andre The Giant:
“Bro, if I’m making more money than you, that’s for real. If I’m a babyface and my merchandise is selling more than yours, that’s a shoot. So this business back in the day used to be about the money and the miles. It’s how far you travel, how much money you make.
But at the end of the day, if I’m like… WrestleMania III… God bless his soul. Andre. I made a lot more money than him. Thank God he never found out, you know?
But that’s a shoot bro, if somebody’s making more money than me, I’m not going to go, ‘Okay, it doesn’t matter if I’m a heel and I make less money,’ that’s not a work to me, that’s a shoot.”
