EB: We talked about five days ago and it didn’t come up. I find it hard to believe. I have to be careful here out of respect for my friend Terry. I don’t think Hulk really cares. He’s moved on with his life. There’s been a lot of water under the bridge. This is just me from my perspective knowing Hulk as well as I do and I don’t think he has the need to be in the limelight and get the attention. He’s pretty happy with who he is, what he has, who he has become and what his life has become. Being a dog and pony show, being tramped around and put on display for the benefit of WWE… I would be surprised if that was very interesting to him at this point. I can understand it if he does it. He’s still connected to the audience but at this stage in his life I can’t imagine it.
