New Japan Pro Wrestling turned down Hulk Hogan's offer.
According to Sports Illustrated, Hulk Hogan was turned down when he asked for $750,000 from New Japan Pro Wrestling for an appearance. Reportedly, the promotion wanted Hogan to appear at Wrestle Kingdom 12 as a member of the Bullet Club.
Hogan last appeared in New Japan Pro Wrestling in 2003, he had one match. Before then, Hogan was wrestling there in the 1990s and 1980s. He had a lot of matches with NJPW founder Antonio Inoki. Other names he wrestled include The Great Muta and Stan Hansen. He never held a championship in Japan.
Hogan has not been seen in a wrestling ring since he left WWE in 2015. He was there in a non-wrestling role. He stopped appearing on WWE and was eventually released by the company during a controversy regarding his sex tape and his use of a racial slur. His last match was in Impact Wrestling in 2012. His last pay-per-view match was against Sting at Bound for Glory in 2011.
Fightful Wrestling will continue to cover Hogan's status with any wrestling promotion.
