— When Hulk Hogan returns on RAW next week in Portland, OR, it’ll
be his first appearance in the city since his November
14th, 1991 match against Ric Flair. With that being said, WWE is expecting Hogan
to receive a major reaction from the live crowd.
— As noted earlier, Mark Yeaton was
released from his WWE contract this week. Yeaton worked as a timekeeper and in
the production team and had been with the company for decades. The fact that he
was released is being viewed as a sign that the company’s budget cuts could
affect anyone and that “no one is safe.”
