Hulk Hogan talking up issues with Brock Lesnar

Earlier this week, gossip site X17 caught up with WWE Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan at an airport with his wife (and the ever-present Jimmy Hart).  In a brief interview, Hogan hit a bunch of hot button issues - steroids, War Machine's assault of Christy Mack and Brock Lesnar's match with John Cena at SummerSlam.
Of course, those topics didn't allow Hulk to talk about his favorite topic, so he decided to reveal that Lesnar's line from the August 11th episode of WWE Raw, "party's over, grandpa" was unscripted.  What's more, the Hulkster didn't appreciate it, brother!
All I gotta say is Brock, I haven't done anything to get in your way but if you keep throwing my name around I'm gonna get in your way.
You can't say that stuff like you said Brock, in front of my wife and kids. It's not cool brother. I know this is all entertainment. You know we're supposed to have fun with it but when he starts throwing my name around, with my wife and my kids, it's crossing the line.

Hogan is a savvy self-promoter, and this is almost certainly a work that keeps him in the WWE main event conversation without him having to take a bump.  Even if Lesnar and Paul Heyman did cook up the line on their own and spring it on Hulk, a guy celebrating his 61st birthday on national television can't be shocked when a bad guy character takes a shot at his age.
And if he is frustrated with how WWE is using him, this could be something that forces the issue a little bit.  Nobody wants to see the WWE Champ throw him around for risk of real-life permanent damage to Hogan, but if Vince McMahon sees money in a program involving Hulk, this could be his ticket to more television time, and money.
