We hear Hulk Hogan is tipped to return to wrestling and what great timing with coinciding news that Kanye West has been offered a staggering £6million to step in to the wrestling arena!
According to reports the shamed Love Lockdown singer is said to be seriously considering some slam dunking in spandex as part of some 'light wrestling' on the WWE circuit.
The reported deal is said to include two television episodes and one pay-per-view for West.
But it seems not even the wrestling world are keen on hanging with Kanye, 32, after he made a tool out of himself by trying to upstage Taylor Swift at the MTV VMA Awards.
Long-standing Wrestling commentator Jim Ross said the lucrative offer would only be money down the drain.
'I even saw on the net that it was alleged that WWE had offered Kanye “$10M” to step in the ring and wrestle which is so outlandish and ridiculous that it's insane', said Ross.
We reckon it be money very well spent, sign him up!

To put this into context:
Hulk Hogan:
Professional wrestling's biggest ever star, and one of the most famous people, bar none, in the world. In his prime (94-98) he was earning almost $16m per year ($1.5m per match for some PPV's). Nowadays, he can claim a 7 figure pay off whenever he makes one of his returns
Floyd Mayweather:
For his month long tenure with the WWE and his feud with the Big Show, he received a cool $3m.
Donald Trump:
For his hilarious skit with Vince McMahon, Trump received a reported $3.5m (which he donated to charity)
Kanye's tenure would probably be around 1-2 months long, so this ranks him amongst the highest-paid stars in the sport's history!
