Hulk Talks About Memphis Show!!

----This came from a report on www.gerweck.net today.
"Hulk Hogan made another one of his infamous calls into the Bubba the Love Sponge show [picture] this morning. According to Hogan he got word that Vince McMahon was "freaked out" about the upcoming Memphis show. Bubba then tuned in and said that he tried to get 4 $60 tickets in the "largest section" and couldn't, Bubba said the ticket sales were "doing great". Bubba was very excited and said that he is now officially on the card and will wrestle, he then went on to talk about his salary negotiations for the show. Bubba said he told the promoter a certain price, the promoter then said he could do half that, Bubba said he only agreed to the deal because he wanted to be on the show with Hogan. Bubba said that he will be on the Howard Stern show next week to promote the Memphis show, Bubba also said that Howard 100 reporters will be covering the show. Hogan said that he will be smoking weed today because it was 4/20. -Johnny Hurricane"

Bubba wrote in his blog yesterday..

"excited about wrestling with/for hogan next friday night….i really really hope alot of you can show up i told the promoter i was good for 1000 tickets…"

And then Dave Meltzer reported this about the show today...

"--The 4/27 Memphis Wrestling show will be broadcast live on Sirius Ch. 101 since Bubba the Love Sponge will wrestle on the show"

----Is this guy going to change the ticket sales?? I think maybe if it was Howard Stern it might, but I am not sure if Bubba = 1,000 tickets. It is interesting that they will be airing it on Sirius. I will also be covering this match by match here on the site.
