Hulk Hogan Denies WrestleMania Talks

Hulk Hogan says he's had NO DISCUSSION with WWE about a WrestleMania return ... despite his daughter, Brooke Hogan, telling us he'd been contacted about a comeback.

Brooke told TMZ Sports over the weekend that "people have been calling [Hulk] about WrestleMania" ... sending wrestling fans into a frenzy.

FYI -- Hulk was fired by the company in 2015.

But not so fast ... 'cause Hulk says it simply ain't true. Appearing on the “Bischoff on Wrestling” podcast, Hulk shot down Brooke's claim.

“Brooke running around on TMZ and the statement she made about me and wrestling and WrestleMania. For the record, like I said, she needs the big boot to the head. I haven’t talked to anybody about Wrestlemania."

There it is ... but maybe, just maybe, could this be Hulk's return secret? We'll see!
