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

Aussie Wrestling Promotion ping.
Was it all staged?
Of course.
It’s a “work” as they say in the business. I love that some in the Australian press apparently bought it, though.
Looks like a couple of bucks worth of “vampire blood” from a novelty shop got Hogan some free publicity.
Does the Hulkster make these appearances to supplement his social security?
Dude ain’t thirty anymore!

Actually, he spoke to the press afterwards and said yeah of course it was staged, but it went wrong and he fell badly.
“Dressing up is strange costumes and wrestling is one of those guy things that us women just don’t understand.”
As a fan and a one-time participant, I must beg to differ! ;-)
Bobby the Brain, Captain Lou, The Bushwackers, Junkyard Dog, The Hart Foundation!
A match made in he!!. Or is that a match occurring in he!!?
This is a “work”. It’s a setup to make money.
Thanks for providing the industry lingo. Transparent as the balloon boy story.
