Majesco and Panic Button have announced that they are teaming up with wrestling icon Hulk Hogan to develop Hulk Hogan’s Main Event for KINECT on the Xbox 360 platform. Hulk Hogan’s Main Event allows players to be trained by Hogan himself on all of wrestling’s signature styles and moves, which players will have to pull off in front of the KINECT’s sensors in addition to the wrestling match itself.

“Hulk Hogan is much more than a wrestling star; he’s a sports entertainment icon with a huge personality, a massive following on Spike’s IMPACT WRESTLING, and immediate recognition across generations of fans,” said Jesse Sutton, CEO Majesco Entertainment.  “Partnering with the Hulkster for Hulk Hogan’s Main Event is a dream come true and we’re looking forward to releasing a no holds barred motion-based experience that offers a full suite of over-the-top moves.”
