– Hulk Hogan was the guest on today’s Bischoff on Wrestling Podcast and discussed Donald Trump’s presidential win, rumors (started by his daughter) that he is returning for WrestleMania and more. The audio and highlights are below:

Hogan on the WWE return rumor: “I know if I don’t bring it up nobody will. So anyway, Brooke’s running around on TMZ and made the statement about me and wrestling and WrestleMania. For the record, she needs the big boot to the head. I haven’t talked to anybody about WrestleMania. I just need to put that to rest. I asked Brooke, ‘What are you doing?’ She goes, ‘Oh, well, I’m just starting it up.’ I said, ‘Thanks Brooke.’ It was kind of funny. I said, ‘No harm. No foul.’ It was all in good fun.”

Bischoff on whether WWE will start RAW off this week with a Donald Trump Presidential win montage or Trump appearance: “I’d love to see it but I honestly think there’s so much divisiveness in the country right now. There’s people reacting so emotionally. The politics as of late have all been based around identity and emotion. I think cooler heads will prevail. More calm heads I should say. Let’s just let some healing go by before anybody rubs anything in anybody’s face. I doubt it. I would imagine Donald Trump’s going to be a little bit busy trying to figure out how to be President of the United States and build a cabinet.”

Hogan on Trump’s win: “Between the last couple months with lawyers and legal beagles and elections and “he said ” “she said”… I feel like watching Jerry Springer now is kind of like watching Oprah on Sunday. It’s relaxing. After watching all the politics Jerry Springer is kind of calm. I’m still spun upside down from all of the craziness. I feel like the NWO just took over America, ya know? It feels like I am expecting black and white coming up the beach now. It’s crazy.”
