He's a radio presenter, I think, and an accquaintance of some form of Hogan, hence landing the TNA gig.
In regards to Hunter, I stayed up and watched RAW on a stream and he just said that Vince - and the McMahons in general - always have to have the last word in anything. Hunter said Vince should've "just let Bret go off into the sunset and we'll never have seen him again" (which is quite funny, as - according to Michaels' autobiography - it was Hunter who first suggested the idea of 'screwing' Bret and was furious with the situation that he felt Bret had put the company in).
Word a few weeks ago was that Hunter still has genuine heat towards Bret and refused to work with him. But last night, it looked as though he was being teased into the storyline.
Bret's limitations in the ring include not being able to take a conventional back bump or a shot to the face (when Vince kicked him in the balls t'other week, it was planned to be a slap to the face, but it was deemed far too dangerous given the consequences of Bret's concussion and stroke). A few sites were last week suggesting that Bret's health problems would be worked into the storyline somehow.
A final note, I was glad last night that Cole referred to it as The Montreal Screwjob. He's been doing my head in over the last month calling it The Montreal 'Incident'.

Hmm, if he's unable to take shots to the face in addition to back bumps then that would pretty much rule out any match at Wrestlemania.
You just know there's a Sharpshooter on the way though, somewhere down the line.

Well they're still pushing for a rematch from last years WM with HBK vs Taker. A possible show stealer, simply because you've two guys who the people want to see and who know what ring psychology is and how to use it.
The roster for the Rumble is:
Big Show Cody Rhodes Carlito Evan Bourne Jack Swagger John Cena Kofi Kingston Mark Henry MVP Santino Marella Shawn Michaels Ted Dibiase The Miz Triple H Batista Chris Jericho CM Punk Dolph Zigler Drew McNtyre Finlay John Morrison Kane Matt Hardy R-Truth Shelton Benjamin Vladimir Kozlov Yoshi Tatsu Zack Ryder
So that's 28 confirmed guys and 2 yet to be announced. Most likely one of those will be Edge.
Have to say, the ending for Raw kinda left me cold about the Rumble itself. Doesn't look like there'll be a new breakthru star. It'll be Cena, or HHH, or Big Show, or HBK winning. And it's likely Orton will beat Sheamus for the title so it's the same old same old from WWE
When you're a Bradford fan there's always a light at the end of the tunnel.
I'm not sure you can blame them though TBH. I can't think of many young guys in WWE that have really taken the bull by the horns, grabbed attention and made an impact.
There's been occasional glimmers of hope but no consistency. Kofi Kingston cut a great promo at the Garden a few months back but hasn't pushed on from it. Guys like John Morrison and R-Truth haven't really pushed on.
I see Ted Dibiase, Dolph Ziggler and maybe the Miz as the three most likely to take the next step at the moment.
