Hulk Hogan has announced his first tour of Australia. The “Hulkamania - Let the Battle Begin” tour feature four arena shows in Melbourne, Perth, Brisbane and Sydney in late November, with tickets going on sale September 24th. “I have been blessed with the opportunity to perform in front of fans around the world,” Hogan is quoted as saying in a press release. “I have always wanted to perform in Australia as I have heard Aussies are some of the greatest wrestling fans ever. I am grateful for this opportunity, and hope that this is just the beginning of a great thing!”

Some of the names set to appear include former WWE superstars Ken Anderson, Umaga, Rikishi, Orlando Jordan, Gangrel, Val Venis and the Godfather. Former WWE developmental diva Lacy Von Eric is also booked to appear. Several of Hulk Hogan and Eric Bischoff's friends are also rumored for the tour, including Diamond Dallas Page, Brutus Beefcake the Nasty Boys. The biggest selling point, however, will be the opportunity to see two of the biggest legends in wrestling history returning to the ring to renew an old rivalry. It was rumored last week that Ric Flair was in negotiations to wrestle Hulk Hogan on at least one of the shows of the tour. According to PWInsider.com, a source close to Ric Flair has confirmed that the Nature Boy will indeed be coming out of retirement to wrestle Hulk Hogan on the tour.
