THE Hulkamania promotional press conference at Star City veered violently out of control today as Hulk Hogan and ring rival Ric Flair let their animosity break into what appeared to be a full scale bloody brawl.
Sydney Central’s photographer Phil Rogers has his flash broken when Ric Flair threw a table off the stage and into the press gathering before diving on photographers, Sydney Central reports.
Media were stunned as the Hulk’s head began bleeding profusely and confusion broke out when the veteran wrestling star was unable to get to his feet.
This reporter narrowly missed being struck with the table and photographers ducked and weaved as Ric Flair took off his trouser belt and began to whip anyone within range.
The press conference began well with the stars of the tour speaking professionally about their careers and the business.
Hulk Hogan was excited to be touring Australia for the first time.
He said promoters in the past had billed him to tour Australia without his knowledge only to tell the fans that he could not make it.
The Hulkamania tour hits Sydney’s Acer Arena on November 28.
Appearing alongside Hulk are the Nasty Boys, Black Pearl of California and Vampire Warrior

More than a few folks in the Tampa Bay area are tired of hearing about his serial dramas. Count me in as one.
Odd the article and pictures didn’t show what caused the injuries. They say the table was thrown at photogs, but don’t show what hit Hulk.
BTW, I still maintain, Ric Flair is an unrequited homosexual. LOL
Like what I tell people fake or not taking a folding chair to the head is going to hurt no matter what.
It’s a hellish line of work, and most of them aren’t helping themselves with their extra-curricular activities either.
I think a bunch of guys rolling around in a ring wearing panties and fetish gear is pretty gay.
WHOOOOOOOO!!!!
I got it. That was pretty freaking funny.
I got it, head to head tag team old school/new generation Triple Threat match
Hulk Hogan and Randy Orton vs Ric Flair and John Cena vs Triple H and Rowdy Roddy Piper..
Looks to me like he cut himself on the forehead with a concealed razor blade as pro wrestlers often do.
I watch MMA all the time, and wounds to the head caused by fists or elbows look differently and bleed differently.
I think this was a stunt.
oh nooes
The neck! Ouch!
What?? Are you implying pro wrestling isn’t genuine??
(Note that even the writer put “attacked” in quotes! LOL)
Used to watch wrestling with my dad on KTLA, Woe Nellie Dick Lane at the Olympic Auditorium, Freddie Blassie and Co. as a kid. My poor dad finally had to answer to my mom’s ridicule. It was great. He said “Look, I’m only gonna say this one time. I know it’s fake. Now will you let us watch this in peace?”
Oh yeah, roller derby too! Go T-Birds!
Believe me, no way would you say that to his face, he is a giant............and I am not small.......
Freddie Blassie and John Tolos, the “Golden Greek.” You never knew whether they were good guys or bad guys, always subject to change. And that goofball Gene LaBelle was always getting beat up while doing interviews.
Actually, unless he was particularly charming, I probably would share my opinion just the same. Lawyers are easy to find. BTW, I’m probably smaller than you. ;) Dressing up is strange costumes and wrestling is one of those guy things that us women just don’t understand.
haha! I missed that “attack” being in quotes.
“Massive sarcasm quotes”!
Yeah. Too funny. Mom couldn’t stand the yelling in the interviews. “That pencil neck geek! I wrote the book on cheating!”
Dad still watches wrestling. I don’t even have TV.
Mom never got the “Stooges” either.
Gotta love the NATURE BOY!!!!
