Gameloft Plunders 80s For Hulkster License

Sweet chin music? Listen up, brother, ‘cos I’m only gonna say this once: Hulkamania isn’t dead. No, brother, it’s back, and it’s gonna wrap its 24-inch pythons around you and get you in a full nelson ’til it puts its back out and has to sit down for a few minutes with a tall glass of prune juice while you rub A535 on its back. But brother, for those few seconds, you’ll be in a world of pain. Pain and saliva.

That’s because Gameloft have just penned a licensing deal with former WWF immortal Terry “Hulk Hogan” Bollea to bring Hulkamania Wrestling to mobile devices, including the iPhone and iPod Touch via the App Store. The game will feature a 3D isometric view with a ton of moves, wacky wrestlers, and amusing dialog.

The Hulkster himself seems to be thrilled to have his role reprieved, even virtually, and commented, “Hulkamania is alive and well and I’m excited to give my fans a mobile game that is true to my experiences in wrestling. I’m confident that Gameloft will inject their signature style to produce the ultimate wrestling game for all my fans to enjoy on the go.”

Preach it, brother! Now it’s time for your Geritol.

Immortal? Can we pay someone to test that theory please?

Love wrestling. Hence I loathe Hulk since he could never wrestle.

Love him or hate him, he is perhaps the most iconic part of the WWF’s golden years. Hulkamania practically made the WWF back in the day. Sure, it had lots of support other big names like Ted DiBiase, The Hart Foundation, Rowdy Roddy Piper, Ricky Steamboat, Jimmy Snuka, and tons of others, but none of them were as instantly recognizable as that blond handlebar mustache. Plus, Jesse Ventura’s a politician now, Andre the Giant is dead, and Ultimate Warrior is just plain nuts.
