Hulk Hogan claims that there were plans for him to have a retirement match against John Cena

During an interview with Chris Van Vliet, WWE Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan claimed that there were plans for him to have a retirement match against John Cena around 2008-2009…

“Vince [McMahon] had me all hooked up with Cena and I said I’d do it. Vince and I were talking every week and we were putting the plans together you know, like the old days where I was in the office every day him and I were talking every day and all of a sudden I’m on the phone with Vince I was like, ‘Oh my God. Oh, my back went out’ when I was talking to Vince on the phone. I just had back surgery number three or four at that time, and I had to go right in immediately and get cut up. So that was it for that but I thought that was going to be my last match and then you know, but that never happened and then it just kind of like faded away.”

Hogan also didn’t rule out making more appearances on WWE television…

“You know, I still work with the WWE all the time. I just renewed my deal with them, you know. It’s always fun to go out there. Maybe I can hang on to one of the wrestlers to get me out to the ring.” (quotes courtesy of ITRWrestling.com)
