Betting On Hulk Hogan To Be At WrestleMania 35

I have just placed a bet on Hulk Hogan to appear at WrestleMania 35 with Sky Bet.

The selection is available in the RequestABet markets. It was 1/2 when I placed my wager, but is now down to 2/5.

I had been contemplating having a bet on a Hogan appearance for a few days, but decided that today could be the last chance I had to make the gamble.

As I've written a lot since this post from September 15th 2018, I believed that The Hulkster being offered at +260 on MyBookie's website was very generous considering he is no longer persona non grata with WWE.

He made his return during the WWE Crown Jewel show from Saudi Arabia in the latter part of 2018 and was brought to Raw following the death of 'Mean' Gene Okerlund earlier this year.

He was also the first person brought out to hype WrestleMania 36 being in Tampa Bay at a press conference a little under a month ago.

What has made me more confident that he'll be in town for this year's WrestleMania is the report that Brutus 'The Barber' Beefcake is lined up for this year's Hall of Fame.

Beefcake and Hogan have been on-off friends for many years dating back to when they first btoke into the business.

If Beefcake really is in the class of 2019, then today will likely be the day it's announced.

I have read that the ceremony is being changed up this year with WWE scrapping the speeches made by the people introducing the inductees. I am sure Hogan would have given the speech ahead of Beefcake's arrival.

The bottom line - if Beefcake is going in, Hogan will likely be there this weekend to see his friend inducted. I cannot see him attending the Hall of Fame and not make an appearance during WrestleMania.

As mentioned many times before today, MyBookie was offering a Hogan appearance at +260 for months. The market is not showing on MyBookie's Wrestling Page as of the time of writing.
