Hulk Hogan talks about returning to the ring

[Konan]

The Riverfront Times in St. Louis has a brief interview with Hulk Hogan up and here are some highlights:

On his returning to the ring: "I really didn't want to wrestle, but I got into a situation with TNA when the fans are chanting 'Hogan! Hogan!', it's hard to say no. I painted myself in a corner. Now I'm fighting a tag-team match March 8 with Abyss against Ric Flair and AJ Styles. I did that to myself, but I really shouldn't be wrestling anymore."

What advice he would give baseball star Mark McGwire about the fallout from his steroid admission: "I don't know his situation too well. But the only advice I have is don't play a game with the fans. You've got to come to come clean. Don't cling to half truths, either. I tried that during an interview on Arsenio Hall. I said I wasn't on steroids, which was half true. I wasn't when he asked me. But had I been? Yes. My advice is to lay it all out there."

On why his feud with Ric Flair has continued: "I think it's the fans. There's a real energy there. On a personal note I think he's the greatest wrestler ever. He's better than Lou Thesz, Gorgeous George -- you name it. But it's the fans. They are the ones that keep this going."
