Hogan Claims He Nearly Joined Metallica

According to NME.com, TNA Impact Wrestling star Hulk Hogan claimed, to The UK Sun, that he almost became the bassist for Metallica. The following is an excerpt:

He [Hogan] told The Sun: "I used to be a session musician before I was a wrestler. I played bass guitar. I was big pals with Lars Ulrich and he asked me if I wanted to play bass with Metallica in their early days but it didn't work out."

More on Rhodes vs Goldust

F4WOnline.com is reporting that as a result of Cody Rhodes being booked in the Elimination Chamber Match at the upcoming PPV, it's unlikely that the rumored Rhodes vs Goldust match will take place at WrestleMania 28.

Although the match could still take place at the big PPV, it should be noted that Vince McMahon was down on the idea as of a few weeks ago.
