Hulk Hogan and Eric Bischoff are once again joining forces, teasing a new project that has wrestling fans buzzing with speculation. Early Monday morning, the legendary duo posted a black-and-white, nWo-inspired video across their social media platforms, signaling their return to the wrestling world and promising to “slice and dice” their way through it.

In the teaser, Hogan and Bischoff hinted at a third partner joining them in this new endeavor, although they stopped short of revealing his identity. “Should we tell them who our third man is? Should we talk about his credentials? Should we talk about all of his championships? Should we talk about the world-class athletes that he has brought to the very top of this sport? Should we talk about that? No, not yet, not yet, not yet,” Bischoff teased. Hogan chimed in, describing the mystery figure simply as a “real, real badass.”

Bischoff’s 83 Weeks podcast, which he co-hosts with Conrad Thompson on the Podcast Heat network, also shared the video, further fueling anticipation among fans.

While specific details about the project remain under wraps, the internet has exploded with theories. Some fans believe the two could be planning to launch a new wrestling company, while others have even floated the shocking idea that former WWE Chairman Vince McMahon could be the “third man.” If true, it would represent one of the most stunning developments in wrestling since McMahon’s departure from WWE in 2024.

Hogan and Bischoff’s history together runs deep, having famously reshaped WCW during its hottest years and later collaborating in TNA Wrestling. Notably, Hogan’s 2010 move to TNA was contingent on Bischoff also joining the company — a testament to the respect and loyalty between the two.

This teaser comes on the heels of Hogan’s recent business ventures, including his Real American Beer brand, which partnered with WWE earlier this year. Hogan notably received a mixed reaction when promoting the beer during the Netflix debut of Monday Night Raw in Los Angeles this January.

As of now, it's unclear whether Hogan and Bischoff are teasing a full-blown wrestling company, a media project, or something else entirely. One thing is certain: whatever they’re planning, the announcement of their third man is bound to make waves.

Stay tuned — the world of wrestling could be on the verge of another major shake-up.
