Hulk Hogan’s mainstream popularity has been getting higher and higher lately due to the success of the new American Gladiators show on NBC. Hogan has been making stops everywhere from Live with Regis and Kelly to Late Night with Conan O’Brien to promote the show. This week American Gladiators drew around 7,873,200 viewers.

If the plans between WWE and Hogan for WrestleMania do go through, this new-found mainstream relevance will certainly help the Hulkster get the huge payday from Vince that he will without a doubt be asking for.

On his VH1 show, he signed something like a 20 year deal. I wonder if he can still negotiate specific payouts for each appearance.

What happened to Ms. Ali? She used to look like a prison bull dyke, now she looks like a model.
