Hulk Hogan Honors Fallen Indiana Police Officer (VIDEO)

Recently reinstated WWE Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan honored fallen Southport, Indiana police officer Aaron Allan at a Hogan’s Beach Shop autograph signing. Allan was killed in the line of duty just last year, shot 11 times after responding to a call to assist an overturned vehicle.

One of Allan’s friends attended a recent Hulk Hogan autograph signing at Hogan’s Beach Shop in Orlando, Florida & presented Hogan with a Lieutenant Allan Challenge Coin. Allan’s friend carried the coin ever since Allan was fatally shot last July.

After being presented with the gift, Hogan said,

“He’s carried this coin ever since his buddy got shot and now we have it. The Hulkamaniacs have it, brother. We’ll take care of this. We love you, man.”

Jake Roberts Frustrated With Today’s Wrestling

WWE Hall of Famer Jake “The Snake” Roberts was interviewed for Sports Illustrated’s Extra Mustard & addressed some qualms he had with today’s wrestling:

“That’s what I don’t get about the young talent today. So many matches are the same. Don’t they get bored? It’s ridiculous what they waste and they don’t even know they’re wasting it. I blame that on the new way of wrestling; if you come up now, you can be in the main event within a year. In my day, you had to learn. We had the territories that forced us to constantly grow and change. Another problem is this, everybody wants to get to the top and they have no problem sacrificing their life to do it. It doesn’t take a great wrestler to jump off the top of a cage. How many times can you do that before you miss? How many times can you do that before you’re crippled. Longevity is the key to success. I had six moves. I knew when to do them and I did them absolutely perfectly and people believed them.”
