NEWS: Sometimes one can learn a lot from browsing WWE Shop. WWE carefully crafts merchandise from pre-planned events sometimes months in advance. Fans interested in spoilers can often visit their online store pre-WrestleMania and simply peruse what's being sold. For instance there is a Dudley Boyz tee shirt, a Hillbilly Jim tee shirt, A Jeff Jarrett tee shirt, an Ivory tee shirt, a Goldberg tee shirt, and a Mark Henry tee shirt because each of those all time greats will be inducted into this year's Hall of Fame. Fans viewing the event may be enticed to purchase merchandise and the WWE knows that in advance of the event, making sure to capitalize by offering these shirts. There is a "Stone Cold" Steve Austin shirt available because although it has not officially been announced, Austin will induct Kid Rock into the WWE Hall of Fame. These shirts are designed well in advance of the event and a publicly traded company isn't keen on waste producing only shirts they know will essentially be sold by the event. In this case that event is the WWE Hall of Fame and even more specifically, WrestleMania 34. This leaves one nagging question. Why is the WWE selling an NWO tee shirt at their WrestleMania store? More specifically why is the WWE selling an NWO shirt that features the print, "New World Orleans," on the front of the shirt?

There have been rumors and even backstage speculation regarding Hulk Hogan's WWE return. Some speculated that Hogan and the WWE were indeed working on a new deal to bring the iconic Superstar back into the fold. Hogan appeared alongside the WWE at the premiere of the new HBO Andre the Giant documentary, the first time the two entities have been together since Hogan was unceremoniously fired after making racist comments in a sex tape; but, both Hogan and the WWE have been unusually mum about a potential deal. Hogan outright denied it; but, that doesn't mean it isn't true. Last year The Hardy Boyz were denying their involvement at WrestleMania up until the point they made their entrance. That's what wrestlers do. They sell the mystery and old school wrestlers like Hulk Hogan definitely know how to keep a surprise a secret. Will Hogan, Kevin Nash, and Scott Hall make a WrestleMania 34 appearance? A backstage WWE source refused to answer that question. Instead our source told us to, "Watch on Sunday." You should do the same.
