WWE announce Hulk Hogan as WrestleMania XXX host

WWE announce Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan as the host of WrestleMania XXX.

WWE have announced that Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan will be the host of WrestleMania XXX at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome in April.

It was revealed earlier this month that the 60-year-old had signed a deal agreeing to return to the company after eight years away.

It has now been confirmed that his comeback will not be in an in-ring capacity, but as master of ceremonies at the 30th edition of Mania in New Orelans, Louisiana. He will also appear on this Monday's RAW to help launch the WWE Network and feature on WWE Raw Backstage Pass.

"We are thrilled that Hulk Hogan has returned home to WWE," owner Vince McMahon told the official website. "It's fitting to have him help us celebrate 30 years of WrestleMania and usher in a new era with the launch of WWE Network."

Hogan, a six-time WWE champion, headlined the first Mania and went on to main event on The Grandest Stage of Them All six times, facing 2014 Hall of Fame inductee The Ultimate Warrior among others.
