Hulk Hogan’s nephew, King David Hogan, is hosting a reality TV show called My Girlfriend Wants a Girlfriend. The show features 16 bisexual women competing for the desire of David and his own bisexual girlfriend. You can check out a trailer for the show in the video above. Hulk Hogan was not happy with his nephew’s show, and called him a disgrace to TMZ.

“I’ve only met him twice in my entire life … he knows nothing about the Hogan family, the Hogan name and has no right to use it,” Hulk said. “I will pursue legal action against him for diminishing the Hogan brand.”

– In more Hogan family drama, Hulk’s son, Nick, was the latest quasi-celebrity to have his cell phone hacked with the photos making their way online. There were several nude photos of women as well as photos of Nick sporting a grill. There were also photos of Brooke, his mother Linda, Hulk and The Big Show, including one of Big Show mooning the camera.

News On Bad Post-WrestleMania WWE PPV Bonuses, Most Of The Roster Affected

It was noted earlier this year that the payoffs for WrestleMania XXX ended up being way better than what was expected by the talents. Many believed that the WWE Network launch would hurt WrestleMania bonuses but that apparently was not the case.

Payoffs are now in for the first pay-per-view events after WrestleMania with the new formula and they were described to The Wrestling Observer as “really bad.” This could be a sign that talents are being paid based on pay-per-view revenue and that they’re not receiving anything extra from the pay-per-view revenue that’s been eliminated due to the Network.

There are reportedly some talents who are being taken care of and some who have deals in place that prevent something like this from happening to them. That is not the case with the majority of talents on the roster.
