  This week, on the No Holds Barred radio show Hulk Hogan joined us and here are the highlights.
  
  Hulk opened by talking about his last two matches at Wrestlemania. He said his match with the Rock was so big because a lot of people in the WWE didnt think he was still up to speed. He knew when the Toronto crowd booed the Rock out of the building that he still had it.
  
  He loved working with Vince McMahon at this year's Wrestlemania. He said it ended all speculation of who was the main man in the business over the last 20 years. He said it proved Hulkamania was a stronger force then anything Vince could ever do.
  
  Hulk said he had no idea Shane McMahon was going to appear at the end of the match. He said it was totally unscripted, and felt maybe Shane just needed to be by his fathers side.
  
  Hulk felt the WWE should have done something with him and Shane and continued that storyline. He said he felt true heat between himself and Shane.
  
  As far as Mr. America goes, Hulk said everybody tries to rip off Hulk Hogan. He said the fact that Mr. America has a blonde mustache and uses some of the same moves could lead some people to think that they were the same person. However, Hogan said Mr. America has smaller arms and is not as good looking.
  
  When asked about Bill Goldberg's start in the company, Hogan said Bill has to earn his stripes. He said Bill is in unchartered waters and has to prove to the fans he is not just here for a large payday. If Bill proves he does love the business, Hogan said he could be a promotion machine. He feels no superstar has a look quite like Goldberg and feels Bill can be as big as he wants to be.
  
  Hogan said he has not spoken to Randy Savge since the untimely death of Miss Elizabeth. Hulk said he always felt Randy was a quality person and he hoped Savage would have been a life long friend. Hogan, while training in a gym in Orlando, Fla. actually recieved a message on his cell phone that Elizabeth and Lex Luger were both dead. His first reaction was, Oh my god, I have to call Randy but Savage chooses not to speak with him. Hulk said the last straw between the two was the circumstances involving Randy with his former girlfriend Gorgeous George while in WCW. Hogan said he has always tried to help Randy personally and professionally, but Randy chose to take the low road and not talk with him anymore.
  
  As far as staying in the business Hogan said he will stay as long as he is having fun and not disappointing the fans. He ended by saying he is still Hulking up.
