Hulk Hogan took shots at WWE CEO Vince McMahon and WWE executive Stephanie McMahon during an interview in Australia promoting the Hulkamania Tour. Hogan is now working with TNA and currently at the "hate" stage of his ongoing "love/hate" relationship with Vince McMahon.

The following are the key quotes from Hogan on McMahon and WWE during the interview with Jason Datillo of 91.3 SportFM in Perth, Australia.

-- Hogan said in the interview he wants to have the writers fired in TNA, but he also talked about the writers in WWE: "I hate the writers. I cannot stand that they have a writing team sitting in the back telling the wrestlers what to say and what to do in the ring. That's one of the reasons I went to TNA. The other promotion - that's what they're all about scripting the verbiage and scripting the matches telling the wrestlers what to do."

-- Hogan with the shot at Stephanie McMahon: "They have a team of writers in the back that don't understand this business. All of the writers are either wrestlers who were mid-card wrestlers or family members that were handed a pen and paper and said, 'You've learned what you learned from our family, now keep writing.' They never learned the wrestling business from being in the main event in the middle of the ring."

-- Hogan on his relationship with Vince McMahon: "It's a love/hate relationship. I talk to him once-in-a while when he needs a main event for WrestleMania. Right now, once I get done with this Australian Tour, I'm going back to the United States to run a promotion called TNA - Total Nonstop Action wrestling. I'm getting ready to take over the helm and it's going to be the #1 wrestling promotion in the world."

-- Today (but subject to change), Hogan says the favorite era of his career was in WCW during the 1990s when he signed on with Eric Bischoff, who is his current business partner. Given choice of 1980s in WWF, the NWO run in WCW, and his most-recent WWE run, Hogan said, "The run that stood out the most was going to WCW with Eric Bischoff to prove who the most powerful man in the wrestling business was. I proved within a short amount of time that where I go, the talent goes. Where I go, the fans go. I'm going to prove it again this time (in TNA)."
