Hulk Hogan appeared on Bubba the Love Sponge's radio show yesterday covering more TNA subjects including an angle from Tuesday's TV taping involving Jeff Hardy that will air on Monday, Dog the Bounty Hunter's run-in with Jeff Hardy and Shannon Moore, and more. The following are highlights from his appearance.

***SPOILER ALERT***

-- There was an angle at Tuesday's TV taping where James Storm tried to do a fireball spot with Jeff Hardy, but it failed two times, so Hardy was covered in kerosene when they did it a third time. Hogan re-told the story in classic Hogan hype mode.

"I saw something on Tuesday that I've never seen before in this business that happened to Jeff Hardy. He got totally engulfed," Hogan said.

He recapped the first two failed attempts, then said, "I'm in the back going, 'stop, stop, shut it down!' The third time, Beer Money takes a big chug of kerosene and he lit it and when he blew, I had never seen a shot of flame come out, but when it his face, his whole head went up. The EMTs were out at the ring for about ten minutes. Jeff Hardy's left side of his lip got burned off. In the back, they were carrying him and when he walked by, all I could smell was burnt hair and burnt skin. His head was like a match."

-- Hogan also recapped Jeff Hardy and Shannon Moore's run-in with Dog the Bounty Hunter at the Impact taping after Hardy and Moore went to Twitter complaining about Dog's crew blowing them off.

"Every one of the guys wanted pictures with him. And then Shannon Moore came up and he had his gimmick on and he took a picture with me and Dog, then I don't know what happened after that. I don't know what happened with Jeff Hardy, but Beth (Dog's wife) texted me going, 'Who's Jeff Hardy? Why's he dogging us?' I texted her back and said he's one of our top guys."

In a hilarious moment, Hogan said he told Dog that Shannon Moore is one of his top guys when Dog asked who they took a picture with. "I told Dog this is one of my top guys. Shanon Moore is ready to blow this place up," Hogan said. "He took a picture with Shannon, then I don't know what happened after that."

Caldwell's Analysis: To recap, Hogan basically threw the roster under the bus painting a picture they're marks bombarding Dog looking for photos and autographs.

-- Hogan and Bubba also talked about the wrestlers trying to be encouraging and politically correct watching the shows backstage on the TV monitors. Bubba recapped Scott Hall having no filter on his commentary and Hogan said he'd like to let Hall fly on guest commentary during Impact if he had some guidance on not missing TV time cues.

-- Hogan talked up Jay Lethal doing the Black Machismo gimmick and joked he should have him on the new Hogan Uncensored radio show. Hogan and Bubba then threw out an idea pairing Lethal up with a "black chick with like a Marilyn Monroe platinum blonde wig on" for the Miss Elizabeth role.

Caldwell's Analysis: Hogan's radio appearances are in an informal setting just talking to talk, but his comment on a valet for Lethal isn't the right representation for TNA. Scott Hall is also off doing his thing on YouTube with unfiltered comments on TNA, so it might be time for TNA president Dixie Carter to step up and implement a code or policy for outside-of-TNA appearances for all talent to at least maintain some level of professionalism.
