Hey guys,

HulkaMania's back, huh?  Well, I've got that covered on ClubWWI.com. I provide an in-depth look at the whole thing including some timeline comparisons that may shock you and thoughts from the audio I did on all the Hogan to TNA rumors a few weeks back...

If you haven't checked it out, Paul Roma's "Glorious" Audio Show returned this past week to ClubWWI.com  and Paul was ready to answer Ted DiBiase. The entire 51 minute show has all Paul's unfiltered thought you've come to expect from the most controversial audio show online!

Glorious  

Also, much like Shockmaster and Outback Jack, he's a star you hear about, but rarely hear from.  Now you can as Tony "TL Hopper" Anthony joins me on ClubWWI.com  for a shoot interview about his entire storied career. 

Also, tons more audio has been posted in the past two weeks.  From my thoughts on Smackdown vs. Raw 2010 to full coverage of FCW from Aaron Wood to Canadian Bulldog's Bragging Rights Review and Growing Pains buddy, you can hear it all now.  Plus, a new audio from Mike Rickard on the way! Between that and over 200 of wrestling's biggest stars, you'll never be at a loss for content!  Click Here To Join Now
