Hulk Hogan can 'feel his hands' again after undergoing neck surgery, Entertainment News
Hulk Hogan can "feel his hands" again after undergoing neck surgery. The wrestling legend had the procedure last week and his friend Eric Bischoff revealed that the operation eased the discomfort all over his body. Speaking on his 83 Weeks podcast, Bischoff said: "They had to work on the discs in his neck, but they had to go in through the front to get to him to relieve some of the pressure and damage that he was experiencing in his legs and his hands. "What I heard from one of the people who works closely with him on a daily basis was that coming out of that surgery, for the first time in a long time, he could actually feel his hands. "He hasn't been able to feel his hands... as soon as he woke up, the first thing he said was, 'I can feel my hands', which I think is really cool." Bischoff also hit out at online negativity against Hulk, 71, and says it contrasts hugely with his enduring popularity in the real world. The wrestling executive said: "(The critics are) just bottom-feeder, unproductive sheep that tend to want to be the loudest people in the room. "You go outside of that little bubble, and as you pointed out, it's mind-boggling that kind of response he gives. It's not only at the fan level, but even now... I'm talking to networks, large ones, who are wanting to know how much we're going to be able to use Hulk." Bischoff and Hulk are preparing to launch a new wrestling league, Real American Freestyle, this summer and he doesn't want to overexpose the retired WWE star in the venture that is separate from "sports entertainment". He said: "I don't want to see too much Hulk Hogan on TV... because that will make the job of separating ourselves and defining our brand from sports entertainment (harder). "So the more I see Hulk on TV as a producer, the harder my job becomes, but yet the networks I'm talking to are going, 'Yeah, but can we get a special interview... Can we get Hulk on a pre-show?'"

Eric Bischoff Names Which WWE Star Should Join John Cena And The Rock
Eric Bischoff names one WWE star he'd like to see get a chance in the spotlight alongside John Cena and The Rock. Since John Cena turned heel and aligned with The Rock at WWE Elimination Chamber, fans have buzzed about their alliance. Travis Scott's involvement in the group has been especially controversial. There has been speculation that another superstar could potentially join them. WWE Hall of Famer Eric Bischoff recently shared his thoughts. Speaking on his 83 Weeks podcast, Eric Bischoff named Karrion Kross as a WWE star who would benefit from joining forces with The Rock and John Cena. 'Karrion Kross needs something … I just feel something, my instinct tells me something about that guy,' Bischoff said. 'His character to me feels like it's off about three degrees. It just needs to be fine-tuned a little bit. He's a dangerous guy, he's good in the ring. There's something a little mysterious about him and that's projected intentionally. But I think if they dialed that back just a little bit and brought a little bit more authenticity to him, unpolish him just a little bit, I think he could be a really cool character.' (H/t Wrestling Inc) John Cena has appeared on WWE RAW twice in recent weeks. He is set to appear again on the March 31st episode of WWE RAW.

Eric Bischoff Explains Why He's Done Working In Professional Wrestling
Eric Bischoff says he's officially done working with professional wrestling, and also answered whether or not he'd ever join Vince McMahon in a new wrestling venture. During the latest episode of the 83 Weeks podcast (via Wrestling News), Bischoff answered questions from fans, and said that as far as he's concerned, he's done all he could in wrestling, and is officially done with working in the industry. 'I realize now that there is nothing I could do in professional wrestling that's ever going to bring me fulfillment,' said Bischoff. 'It's just not because I've done it, and I'm proud of what I've done. Unless I can do something that could make me feel as excited as I felt back then about professional wrestling, I can't do it. I just don't have that desire to focus on that business any longer for Vince or anybody else.' Although reports of McMahon's rumored new wrestling company point to nothing really happening, Bischoff noted that even if he were to take a job like that, it would be 'for the wrong reasons.' 'If I took a job like that, I would be taking it for the wrong reasons and would probably end up having the same results that I did in 2019,' Bischoff said. 'I'm just not that interested to commit that much to that industry. As much as I respect it and am grateful for it, that period of my life is in the rear view mirror and I enjoy every time I look in the rear view mirror and see it.'
