In an interview
with Busted Open Radio, Hulk Hogan talked about the situation with Bobby Roode's contract
expiring:
"When you're working for a company, sometimes you don't focus on what your contract says. I was here last year, I was working at a PPV and my contract had run out. I didn't know it. Dixie didn't know it. We weren't worried about it. We're here because we love this business and all of a sudden I call my attorney and say, 'Henry, is my contract up?' He goes, 'Yeah, it ran out ten days ago.' I didn't even know it. Dixie didn't know. We weren’t worried about that; we were worried about putting on a good show. It's just so weird that 'O my god, Bobby Roode's contract is over', I looked at Twitter today, 'Hogan you're an idiot, afterthought, dumb@$$.' All these things that are being said to me, I've got nothing to do with that. Here's the deal; Bobby Roode, great talent. I'm sure he wants to be here or he wants to be anywhere and he can make his own deal, but we sure don't want him going anywhere. We love him to death. I was hoping that he'd have the belt on the UK tour just so we'd have a TNA champion over there. It's all weird how everybody tries to tear our business apart. We're all here for the same reason, we love this business and if he doesn't have a contract I bet Booby Roode would wrestle tonight without a contract until we get it straightened out. That's how much he loves it."
