This afternoon on Bubba the Love Sponge, Hulk Hogan was appearing as a guest when he took a call from Vince McMahon's secretary Ann Russo. Hogan, who didn't let Russo know she was on the air, was asked who he felt should be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame this year.

Russo noted the candidates at this time were The Von Erichs, The Ultimate Warrior, Mr. T, Mike Tyson, Jake Roberts, Ric Flair, Ken Patera, The Original Sheik, Howard Finkel, Mr. Fuji, The Honkytonk Man, Randy Savage, Dusty Rhodes, The Wild Samoans, The Big Bossman, Bob Backlund, Rick Rude, The Bushwhackers, Rocky Johnson, The Brooklyn Brawler, Nick Bockwinkel, and Muhammad Ali.

Hogan responded favorably to a number of names including the Von Erichs, Mr. T, Bossman, Rude, Bockwinkel, Flair, Backlund, Finkel, the Samoans, the Original Sheik, Ali, and The Bushwhackers.

When Bubba asked about Wrestlemania 23, Hogan got evasive, stating that he didn't know if he would be wrestling or not on the show. Hogan then left the studio, taking a call from Vince McMahon about potential appearances in the future. The implication that was made on the air was that McMahon wasn't happy about the conversation going out over the airwaves.
