Chicago Sun-Times: Backlash will test Hogan's hip

It will be a very busy summer for Hulk Hogan, and al-though it all kicks off with his tag match at Backlash this weekend, wrestling could be the least of his worries. In an interview I did with Hogan on Wednesday, the Hulkster said his match today will be a big test because it is the first time Hogan will wrestle following hip- replacement surgery last year.

His return alongside Shawn Michaels against Muhammad Hassan and Khosrow Daivari is a result of the fans' chants for one more match" during his WWE Hall of Fame induction.

If the hip is OK after this one, I might consider a return on a part-time basis to complement the current roster," he said.

Following Backlash, Hogan will begin promoting his upcoming VH1 reality series, Hogan Knows Best," which debuts in July. The show will follow the Hogan family around as they attempt to get daughter Brooke's singing career into the spotlight.

AROUND THE RING: Frankie Kazarian has confirmed he is on his way to WWE. ... Other matches for Backlash include Batista defending the title against Triple H, Chris Jericho against Shelton Benjamin for the Intercontinental title and a Last Man Standing match between Chris Benoit and Edge.
