El Hijo del Santo Turns Down WWE?, Hogan vs. Lawler?

Mexican star El Hijo del Santo is saying that WWE contacted him and offered him a job, but turned it down. On the otherhand, WWE sources are saying that there is nothing to that story. What appears to be the case is that he doesn't want people thinking that WWE was only interested in fellow Mexican star Mistico, who is 24 years old, and not him because he doesn't want to be perceived as "old news." Santo is 43 years old. So basically, he made everything up because he'll come off better by saying that he rejected them rather than being perceived as someone that WWE isn't interested in, which is actually the case.
Jimmy Hart is trying to put together a match between Hulk Hogan and Jerry Lawler, which would take place for the Memphis Wrestling promotion. They're constantly bringing up Hogan's name on their television show. Considering that it seems highly unlikely that Hogan will go for it, they'll probably try to pitch the event to him as being "Hogan's show" to get him to do the match.
Matt Cappotelli is still under contract to WWE on a $75,000 per year deal. Cappotelli's wrestling career is likely over due to brain cancer.
God I hope Lawler doesnt wrestle Hogan cuz Hogan has never beaten Lawler and knowing Hogan doesnt job I'd hate for Lawler to let him win. And Im surprised Vince didnt jump on this for WM, but I guess Vince doesnt wanna pay Hogan $2m for a leg drop which is understandable.
