Good news for all you Hulkster fans out there -- and really good news for any viewing fan of TNA.

According to the man himself (via ProWrestling.net), Hulk Hogan will not be taking bumps in his upcoming pay-per-view match at Bound for Glory on Oct. 16 against Sting.

It's for obvious reasons. His back is essentially broken and he can barely walk on a day-to-day basis. The angle leading up to the match has been extremely well executed but the idea of Hogan having a legitimate match at 58-years-old and with his laundry list of health issues was laughable at best, scary at worst.

TNA has at least been smart enough to have Hogan telling anyone who will listen that this isn't a match but rather a "fight." His go to line is that he's not cleared to wrestle but he doesn't need clearance to fight and he'll kick Sting's ass at Bound for Glory.

Another prudent move that needed to be made was the fact that the match (or fight, I guess) is no disqualification. This allows for massive interference from anyone that can come out and handle taking a few bumps in Hogan's place.

Will it even be worth watching is the real question. Thankfully, Kurt Angle vs. Bobby Roode, the real main event on the pay-per-view, is just underneath it to salvage the show.
