Hulk Hogan Comes to iPlay America Aug. 2 for Special 'Uncut' Engagement

Freehold, N.J. — Every fan of professional wrestling knows Hulk Hogan. Most people in the U.S. probably know who he is. But few have had an opportunity to talk with him directly. Now they have that chance when iPlay America hosts The Hulkster for an intimate chat, “Uncut,” with fans at 3 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 2.

“The Hulk is an icon of professional wrestling. No one in the region has brought him in for an opportunity like this,” said Jessica Schwartz, director of marketing for iPlay America.

He was inducted into the Professional Wrestling Hall of Fame in 2003, and World Wrestling Entertainment inducted Hogan into its Hall of Fame in 2005. Hogan is a 12-time world champion — six times with World Wrestling Federation/World Wrestling Entertainment and six times with the competing World Championship Wrestling. He earned numerous other championships and awards during his career.
