Pro wrestling legends Hulk Hogan and Eric Bischoff are back in the spotlight after dropping a cryptic black-and-white promo that instantly sparked nWo nostalgia and fan buzz.

Released Monday, the video mirrors the classic New World Order vignettes that helped transform wrestling in the late 1990s, and teases the return of a major third figure.

Hogan kicks off the teaser by declaring, “Why so serious? Because you know who I am,” immediately channeling his infamous heel persona. Bischoff follows up with a dramatic tone: “But you don’t know why he’s here… Hulkster, we are so back.”

The duo alludes to shaking up the wrestling world again, just like they did nearly 30 years ago with the formation of the original nWo. They repeatedly hint at a “third man,” drawing direct comparisons to the moment Hogan shocked the world by turning heel in 1996.

“You’re not going to know what hit you,” Hogan warns, while Bischoff tantalizes fans by saying, “Should we talk about his credentials? No. Not yet… but stay tuned.”

According to PWInsider Elite, while speculation suggests this could be the start of a new wrestling venture, no official moves or talent approaches have been confirmed. Sources indicate full details could emerge by the end of this week.

With Hogan calling the mystery figure “a real, real badass,” and Bischoff promising something that will “rock your world,” fans are left to wonder: is this a nostalgia act or a legit industry disruption?

We’ll be watching closely as this nWo-style tease continues to unfold.
