PRO WRESTLING NEWS:
---Hulk Hogan's agent, Peter Young, told ProWrestling.net that Hulk Hogan appearing in WWE 2K14 is due to a 2008 deal that Hogan made with THQ to appear in a WWE video game. After purchasing the WWE video game license from THQ, 2K Sports exercised a renewal option on Hogan's old contract. Young's comments were in line with Eric Bischoff's recent statement that existing trademarks and assets were used to have Hogan appear in the game. However, if Young's statement is correct, Bischoff's remark about there being no "Hulk Hogan/2K Sports deal" would be inaccurate, as it is technically a deal between the video game company and Hogan.

Many of you may have noticed the lack of updates the past couple weeks. I have been battling pancreatitis and my uncontrolled diabetes. I was hospitalized on Friday, August 30th, and through the processes of treating pancreatitis and running other tests on me, I was diagnosed today with gastric stomach cancer. I will be undergoing chemotherapy on Wednesday, twice a week for the next six weeks in an effort to get rid of this which is being diagnosed and told to me as in a very early stage. I'm not asking for anybodies sympathy, I'm not asking for anybodies money. If you have bought tickets to either the September or October show, your money will be returned to you within the next two weeks. I do ask if you believe in our Lord almighty that you say a prayer for me...and if you don't, any good vibes will definitely be appreciated too. I realize in this day and age to some people this may even be good news. To those people I hope that this terrible disease never strikes your family. To the people I was unable to get a hold of, and you're finding out this way, I apologize, but our fans deserve to know and with guys saying they were open next weekend and stuff it was time to give them an answer. Know that I am not writing a bucket list, and that I am planning for the future. To the boys that I spoke to today, thank you so much for your overwhelming support. I cannot tell you how much your words of encouragement and love have meant to me getting through this beyond harsh day.
