Hulk Hogan Praised Backstage, Brutus Beefcake To TNA Update

-- TNA World Heavyweight Champion Jeff Hardy is scheduled to appear on The Talk on CBS this Tuesday at 2:00 p.m ET, according to TNAWrestling.com.

-- Hulk Hogan earned a lot of respect from the locker room for appearing at last week's television in spite of his ongoing back issues. That said, he was in great pain and unable to stand for long periods of time while backstage. The wrestling legend largely kept to himself, but was accompanied by longtime friends Ed Leslie (a/k/a Brutus Beefcake) and Jimmy Hart. For what it's worth, TNA has no plans to use Brutus Beefcake despite his claims to the contrary.
