EB: (Laughs) Oh Hulkster, Hulkster, Hulkster… you know, who knows? The one thing about Hulk is that he loves the business. He loves to have fun. He loves the energy that comes along with it. Even on the independent scene Hulk would love the energy. If there is anybody that could make that work it would be Hulk Hogan.
NH: Let’s say this does happen, Hulk Hogan with The Bullet Club, what kind of a role would you see him with in that group?
EB: I can’t even imagine. I can’t even imagine. I think he was having fun in the spur of the moment with the Pro Wrestling Sheet video but I don’t see Hulk Hogan… I can’t even imagine him traveling to an independent show and going through everything he’d have to go through to become part of that. I am sure he was having fun in the moment and he wanted to put the guys over because he is that kind of guy. I just can’t imagine any real, functional role there.
NH: The Bullet Club is not just independents. They have ties to New Japan Pro Wrestling and Ring of Honor. These are larger promotions. Hulk wasn’t at WrestleMania and if he’s not tied to WWE, how cool would it be to see Hulk Hogan in New Japan Pro Wrestling? He’s held in such high regard there.
EB: Yup. (Laughs) I agree with you. That’s all I can say.
