Background
Hogan during a match against Ric Flair in 2009.

Shows took place on 21, 24, 26 and 28 November 2009. The main event of each show was between Hulk Hogan and Ric Flair. Flair, performing as a heel, came out of retirement for this. Other wrestlers featured included Spartan-3000, Heidenreich, Eugene, Brutus "The Barber" Beefcake and Orlando Jordan. [3][4] Hogan won all four main events in the tour. [5][2]

On 21 November Lacey Von Erich won a bikini contest, which also included Koa Marie Turner, Stephanie Pietz and Kiara Dillon. She also interfered in the main event between Hogan and Ric Flair, on Flair's behalf.[2] In other matches on the tour she was used as Flair's manager.[5]

There was talk of another tour in China and other parts of Asia, however after the unsuccessful Australian tour, those plans fell through. The tour featured Umaga's last match, as he died on 4 December 2009.[6]
