WWE developmental Diva Angela announced last night that next week’s FCW TV Tapings in Tampa, FL at the FCW Arena would be dubbed the “Night of Legends.” Scheduled to appear are “The Mouth of the South” Jimmy Hart and former WWE Tag Team Champions The Nasty Boys, Brian Knobbs and Jerry Sags.

It’s interesting to see The Nasty Boys working in any capacity with WWE again. WWE let them have a tryout match back in November of 2007 before the SmackDown tapings in Tampa. Reports from the show said Knobbs and Sags looked rough in the ring, displayed bad behavior and generally caused problems with the entire match. Obviously they weren’t signed and we didn’t hear much after that other than there was a little bit of heat on them from within the company.

No word yet if this appearance with WWE developmental will turn into something on the big show, but we should have more this weekend or early next week. The Nasty Boys were last seen working for a major promotion in 1997 with WCW. You can often catch Knobbs with Hulk Hogan on Brooke Knows Best or reruns of Hogan Knows Best.

Here are some latest tidbits from Jim Ross' blog:

Brooke in Playboy

Is Brooke Bollea Hogan actually considering posing for Playboy Magazine? First of all, I have zero issues with Playboy Magazine but wouldn’t one think that the timing of this particular matter helps no one but Playboy? What’s next, Nick in semi prison garb in Playgirl magazine? Can everyone, all at one time, say…"LAY LOW"? Leave the media crazy, TMZ-like radar screen and watch public perception improve….if that matters and perhaps it doesn’t. There was a fan’s sign in Philly Tuesday that read, "Hulk We Still Love You." BROTHER!

Affliction PPV

Affliction made a nice foray into the pay per view marketplace last Saturday night. The franchise guy is obviously Fedor, who needs no last name, who, at 28-1, is a physical freak and as long as he can stay on top the brand has a great chance to continue to grow and build momentum. Affliction would be wise to carefully market Fedor outside their envelope all the while being careful not to overexpose Fedor and to maintain his "mystique". Also, rushing into a Fedor-Couture fight might not be the best promotional strategy for Affliction as fans love the build up to a big fight and "anticipation" is a great marketing tool for a potential consumer. Plus, Couture needs a fight in which he can display his skills prior to venturing into the ring with Fedor which obviously is a big money piece of business.

On the Coach at the Bash

It was great seeing Jonathan Coachman for a few minutes Sunday afternoon at the Nassau Coliseum and getting to meet his new, baby daughter who is beautiful for the record. Coach is leaving the WWE and will begin a new career with ESPN and will be moving to the Bristol area in the near future. I am not sure but I think I first met Coach in Kansas City where he was working with Len Dawson, the former K.C. Chiefs Hall of Fame quarterback, doing local sports on TV. It seems as if Coach may have visited the day we produced Smackdown show #1 which I broadcast with The King. Michael Cole took over then the next week on episode #2. I wish Coach nothing but the best and he is genuinely and deservedly excited about his new gig. Our infamous "Country Whipping Match" that took place in Chicago on Monday night Raw was a unique experience for both of us and I am sure provided some insiders with a chuckle or two. I do think it got a decent TV ratings from what I recall, and quite frankly ladies and gentlemen, isn’t that what makes the world go ’round?

On the Going Back to RAW Rumors

I noticed that when I dispelled the "J.R.’s Heading Back To Raw" rumors that many printed that I inferred that I would not go back to the Monday show if asked which is inaccurate. Of course I would take the assignment because I still cash the WWE’s checks. My Dad taught me that if one is going to accept another’s cash then do your damnedest to earn one’s keep. The day that I decide to hang it up will occur some day but until then I am going to continue to be a team player and I have no issues in accepting pay for my work even though I personally believe that I am "bargain priced" :) for the WWE. I know this statement will cause some morons to write about my perceived lack of character or intellect for "being a team player" especially in light "of all the negative things" that have occurred to me over the years. Say what you wish, I still have fun seeing the wrestlers when I go to work, I enjoy meeting fans and interacting with them, and I still have a blast doing commentary of which I am damn competitive and still think that I can carry my share of the water (thanks to Deadwood’s Al Swearengin for that one).

It's of no shock at this point that the name "Hogan" is not as innocent or squeaky clean as we all once thought. From the messy divorce that has been in the headlines between Hulk and wife Linda for months, to the reckless accident by son Nick that has landed him in prison for the next few months, no more can Hulk with a straight face tell us to "say our prayers and take our vitamins."

This is why this latest story is not much of a shock. With her "music" career, and I use that term lightly after one song that got moderate play on the radio, daughter Brooke Hogan is now being rumored to be the next WWE lady (despite never being in a ring) to be doing Playboy. The rumor hit about a week ago, and this week it has picked up steam as the NY Daily News has confirmed that she has been approached about baring it all.

If you've seen Brooke more than once lately on your TV, it's due to the fact she's trying to push her new, awful, unwatchable TV show - "Brooke Knows Best," an unnecessary and sad take-off of "Hogan Knows Best," a popular reality show on VH-1 that actually was amusing, even more know with the extreme trouble the Hogan family in real life is having.

One of the main storylines in the "Hogan Knows Best" show centered around how daddy Hulk protected and basically sheltered Brooke for most of her youth, trying to keep her out of harms way, mostly meaning away from horny boys, for most of her teen years. Hulk's plans have clearly backfired, as Brooke not only used her "assets" to pose already for FHM magazine, but also her TV show seems to be about the young adult, her gay (not that there's anything wrong with that) roommate, and childhood friend roommate going to South Beach clubs to pick up guys.

Now the Playboy hotline is calling, complete with the WWE's likely backing if the Hogan daughter wants it. No better way to get Hulk in the fold for WrestleMania 25 in Houston than to have his naked daughter in Playboy and the WWE pushing it like they have for the past few years around Mania with Divas like Torrie, Ashley, Candice and last year's Maria.

With her "career" nothing more than hanging onto the coat tails of her father and sad attempts to be another peppy pop-star, I wouldn't doubt for a moment that the world will get to see ALL of what Hulk and Linda produced in the coming months in the most famous nudity magazine of them all.

Brooke Hogan's publicist told the New York Daily News today that she was indeed approached by Playboy magazine to pose nude. Apparently Brooke didn't say no to the offer and her rep simply says that no decision has been made at this time.

Several gossip sites reported that Brooke could be posing for Playboy last week as a rumor but now her reps have confirmed that she has been asked to pose nude by Playboy. Although it might be good for her career, I bet The Hulkster wouldn't like that too much. Or would he?

Well, the rumors are true, in addition to her outlandish comments about her son’s car accident Linda Hogan is also in fact dating a 19 year old kid who went to school with her two children.

Brooke Hogan on her mother (pictured) dating a 19 year old: “Yes, it’s true. I’m totally freaked out. This is really weird. I personally don’t like it at all or condone it. I went to school with him. He was a grade under me. Me and Nick know him well. Me and Nick are two years apart, and he was right between us in school.”

CLEARWATER (CBS4) ― The daughter of former wrestler Hulk Hogan has been involved in a car accident in Clearwater.

The Florida Highway Patrol says 20-year-old Brooke Bollea collided with another vehicle on the Bayside Bridge on Sunday, closing northbound lanes for hours. No one was injured in the crash.

Hulk Hogan, whose real name is Terry Bollea, was on the scene but the FHP report says he was not in the vehicle at the time of the accident.

FHP says the other driver, 19-year-old Ronald Gallmon, attempted to change lanes while speeding and lost control of his vehicle, colliding head-on with Brooke Bollea's Mercedes. The Mercedes had severe front-end damage and was towed from the scene. No charges have been filed.
