Toronto Mayor Rob Ford to take on his ‘hero’ Hulk Hogan in friendly arm-wrestle

TORONTO – It’s not quite SmackDown but Toronto’s mayor takes on 14-time world wrestling champion Hulk Hogan today in an arm-wrestling match.

Rob Ford says he “can’t wait” to battle the Hulkster in the friendly event.

Ford describes Hogan as a “good guy,” and says he’s been his hero since he was a “little guy.”

The event is set for this morning at Fan Expo Canada in Toronto.

The legendary shirt-ripping wrestler is in Toronto to hold an “uncensored” question-and-answer session at Fan Expo this evening.

Ford says if Hogan starts swinging like the scene in “Rocky III” in which Hogan fights Rocky — he’s “right out the door.”
