Hulk Hogan's Face Bloodied During Presser

The blood was pouring down Hulk Hogan's face, back into his hair and down to his mouth after the wrestling legend got into a wild brawl with Ric Flair at a press conference in Australia.

Hogan and Flair were in Australia to promote an upcoming wrestling event, when all of the sudden they began to beat the crap out of each other ... Flair socking Hogan in the head over and over and over.

We know -- you're thinking it's all BS to promote the fight, but we spoke with somebody in Hulk's camp who insists the entire thing was real ... the blood and the injuries.

If you believe this was real it's time to check yourself. If you're promoting an event, this is required to stir up interest and sell tickets. Hogan could kill Flair if he wanted to. Flair is old and washed up and hanging on to what is left of his career before he heads to God's waiting room. (Florida.)

It's a complete 'work' as it's called in the wrestling business. Look at the cuts on Hogan. They are straight and on the forehead. This is very common in the wrestling business - it's called 'cutting'. A small concealable razor hidden in the hand is used. I can't believe TMZ is buying this.

IMAGES of a bruised and bloody Hulk Hogan following an all-out brawl at Star City Casino are now realised to have been part of a well-staged hoax.

In an expertly performed publicity stunt, Hogan staged a press conference which took a violent turn when rival Rick Flair turned on the wrestling star.

Central and the Daily Telegraph reported that journalists were “stunned” as the Hulk’s head began bleeding profusely.

Photographer Phil Rogers had his flash broken when Flair threw a table off the stage and into the press gathering before diving on photographers.

But it seems the media throng had been fooled. A couple of hours later, Wentworth Courier staff were present at another media conference at the Sydney Football Stadium, in which the Hulk minged with Roosters players and answered questions about his long career.

Throughout the press conference, Hogan appeared fit and in very good health, not nursing any visable scars from this morning’s incident.

Hogan responded to reports about the confrontation calmly, saying he was taken by surprise as the event took an unexpected turn.

“It took me about half an hour to get freshened up before I ran back out, it got a bit crazy,” he said.

He said he didn’t expect the stunt to get so out of control. “I didn’t plan on going backwards off the stage, that was a bit of a shock.”

The Star City press conference began well with the stars of the tour speaking professionally about their careers and the business.

Hogan 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.
