More Details on Hulk Hogan’s Restaurant Closing

As noted earlier today, the official website of “Hogan’s Beach”, the Tampa, FL restaurant which was themed after Hulk Hogan, is no longer active, leading to speculation that the restaurant has closed.

According to PWInsider.com, “Hogan’s Beach” has indeed closed, and will be replaced by a new, different themed restaurant.

The closing of “Hogan’s Beach” was confirmed via a call to “Hogan’s Beach Shop”, which is a separate business Hogan is part of located in Clearwater, FL. “Hogan’s Beach Shop” will remain open, and is not affiliated in anyway with the restaurant.

“Hogan’s Beach” opened in January of 2013.

WWE’s Original Sin Cara Gets New Ring Name for His Return to CMLL

As we previously reported, the original Sin Cara in WWE, Luis Ignacio Urive Alvirde, has officially left AAA and will be returning to CMLL. Alvirde, who became famous in Mexico, before his run in WWE, under the ring name Mistico, will not be able to use the Mistico name as it now belongs to Carlos Gonzalez, who uses it in CMLL. Alvirde had been wrestling under the ring name Myzteziz in AAA, but he will no longer be able to use that name as it’s under the ownership of AAA.

It was announced on Twitter this evening that Alvirde will now be using the ring name Mistic 2.0 in CMLL.

Myzteziz’s new name is Místic 2.0
