For the first time ever, Wrestling Legend Hulk Hogan will tour

Australia. His new event HULKAMANIA – Let the Battle Begin, will be

Ric Flair has been coaxed out of retirement to battle Hulk Hogan in what

may be the ultimate grudge match. HULKAMANIA will also feature some of

the top stars of wrestling that compete all over the world including

Brutus “The Barber” Beefcake, Aumaga, Kishi, Black Pearl, Mr Ken

Anderson, Shannon Moore, Heidenreich, Pimp Fatha, Brian Knobs, The Nasty

Boys, Rock of Love, Orlando Jordan, Vampire Warrior, Val Venis,

Stephanie Pietz, Koa-Marie, Jimmy Hart, Lacey von Erich, U Gene, Kiara

Dillion, Paul London and more in the ultimate spectacular HULKAMANIA.

For over two decades the name Hulk Hogan has been synonymous with sports

entertainment and professional wrestling. Having set live attendance

records all over the world including a live gate of more than 96,000

fans at the Pontiac Silverdome, Hulk Hogan has set his sites on

Australia as his next frontier.

Hulk made a quick visit to Australia last week and caught a few footy

games while he was here.

“Australia is such a beautiful country with beautiful people,” said

Hogan. “My fans in Australia are so loyal, I am so glad that we can

finally bring Hulkamania to them”

HULKAMANIA will also include state of the art production; the arenas

will be plastered with large screens to show the audience what is

happening back stage in between wrestling matches. The night will also

contain audience participation, a huge pyrotechnics display and more.

From his early beginnings as a young wrestler training under the

tutelage of the famed Hiro Matsuda who intentionally broke Hulk Hogan’s

leg on his first day of training just to test his desire, Hulk Hogan’s

larger that life persona and matching arms have turned the industry into

the phenomenon it is today.

Also known as The Nature Boy, Ric Flair is among the most well known

wrestlers in the world, and is one of wrestling’s biggest stars. Flair

was often popular with the crowd due to his in-ring antics, his cocky

interview style, strutting and his shouting of "Woooooo!" The "Woooooo!"

yell has since become a tribute to Flair, and is often shouted by the

crowd whenever they see Ric.

Unlike most professional wrestling tag teams, Jerry Sags and Brian

Knobbs are childhood friends known as the Nasty Boys; The Nasty Boys

defeated The Hart Foundation for the World Tag Team Championship and

held the titles until 1991. BLACK PEARL His grace was born to wrestle.

The aristocratic “Count Of California” is a gifted athlete who mixes

impressive size and strength with astonishing agility for a man of his

size.

Kishi is one of the most popular and charismatic stars in the history of

professional wrestling. He is a 3-time Tag Team Champion and a former

Intercontinental Champion who has feuded with the likes of “Stone Cold

Steve Austin,” “The Rock” and “Kurt Angle.” The “Samoan Bulldozer”

Aumaga is prepared to run over the competition in Australia. This

seemingly uncontrollable savage loves to inflict pain on his opponents,

and has left a large wake of destruction behind him thanks to his

devastating and debilitating Samoan Spike. Darkness will spread in the

arenas of Australia when Vampire Warrior’s sinister presence is made.

Vampire Warrior formed a faction known as “The Brood” along with “Edge”

and “Christian.” The trio eventually became part of “The Ministry Of

Darkness” under the rule of “The Undertaker.”
