Fans of professional wrestling know Hulk Hogan, and they have the chance to talk to him when iPlay America hosts The Hulkster for an intimate chat, “Uncut,” at 3 p.m. on Aug. 2.

“Hulk is an icon of professional wrestling. No one in the region has brought him in for an opportunity like this,” said Jessica Schwartz, director of marketing for iPlay America, which is on Schanck Road in Freehold Township.

Hogan was inducted into the Professional Wrestling Hall of Fame in 2003, and World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) inducted Hogan into its Hall of Fame in 2005. Hogan is a 12-time world champion — six times with World Wrestling Federation/WWE and six times with World Championship Wrestling. He earned numerous other championships and awards during his career.

In addition to being a professional wrestling star, he is also a television and movie star.

Fans can bring their questions about his experiences and matches as a member of WWE and anything else they want to know. iPlay America will offer three packages: General Admission, VIP and Platinum.

General admission tickets are $39.95 and include the question-and-answer session and a $10 iPlay America game card.

The VIP package includes a general admission ticket to the question-and-answer session, early entry to iPlay America’s Event Center, a photo with Hogan, a presigned 8×10 photo, an iPlay America iRide Plus band and a $25 iPlay America game card for $149.95.

The Platinum package offers a unique experience beginning at 1:30 p.m., including lunch and beverages with an open bar serving beer and wine for those 21 and older, a meet and greet with photo opportunity, a 16×20 photo to be hand signed during the meet and greet, seating in the first three rows for the question-and-answer session, and a $25 iPlay America game card for $249.95.
