February 4, 2002 Observer Newsletter: Hogan, Nash, and Hall sign with WWF

The official signing of Terry Bollea (Hulk Hogan), Kevin Nash and Scott Hall by the WWF, with their return announced on television this week, will be the precursor to full scale changes in the way the company will be handling business after Wrestlemania.

All three signed two-year contracts. Hall & Nash signed on 1/18 and, according to friends of Hogan’s, he signed on 1/25, although others claim he actually had signed before that day. All three were flown to WWF headquarters in Stamford, CT on 1/25 to meet with all the key people in the front office and meet about storylines, marketing and merchandising ideas from 8 p.m. until about 4 p.m. All aspects of business were discussed including the idea that they have to prove themselves in the dressing room because of the legit skepticism (which is being used as an insider television angle and there are aspects of this that are being booked dangerously too inside) within the company whether bringing them in is the right decision.
