TNA News Hulk Hogan rips his WWE Hall of Fame ring, claims he attempted to join Metallica and the Rolling Stones By Jason Powell Nov 2, 2009 - 09:14 AM Email This Article | Printer Friendly Page Send Us News & Results | Back to Main Listing Hulk Hogan told the Chicago Tribune that he wears his WWE Hall of Fame ring to cover up a tattoo. "I think Vince McMahon paid $20 for it," Hogan said. "To cover up this Linda thing (a tattoo with his ex-wife's name). “I didn’t wear it for a while, but it’s perfect for covering that up." Hogan also recalled attempting to join two legendary rock bands. "I was in England presenting an award with Jerry Hall, Mick Jagger’s ex, and she told me the [Rolling] Stones were looking for a bass player,” Hogan said. “I sent her a ton of merchandise that she asked for and said ‘Tell Mick I’m a great bass player.’ I never heard a word back. “When Metallica was looking for a bass player, I called and never heard a word back from them either. I would have quit wrestling in a heartbeat to be a bass player for Metallica.” To read the full interview, visit ChicagoTribune.com. Powell's POV: I'm surprised Hogan didn't fib and claim that the Stones and Metallica recruited him. As for the WWE HOF ring, Hulk could always visit a jewelry store and find something he likes more than the WWE ring. That said, I am curious to find out how much Vince spent on the rings.
