Hulkamania: Let The Battle Begin Tour was a 2009 professional wrestling tour promoted by Hulk Hogan and Eric Bischoff, which took place in Australia. These events featured the first wrestling appearance of Hogan in Australia. The event was taped by TV Station ONE HD however it was never aired.
Shows took place on 21, 24, 26 and 28 November 2009. The main event of each show was between Hulk Hogan and ppRic Flair[[. Flair, performing as a heel, came out of retirement for this. Other wrestlers featured included Spartan-3000, Heidenreich, Eugene, Brutus Beefcake and Orlando Jordan. Hogan won all four main events in the tour.
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. In other matches on the tour she was used as Flair's manager.
There was talk of another tour in China and other parts of Asia, however after the unsuccessful Australian tour, those plans fell through. The considered failure of the tour also led to the cancellation of the planned TNA Australian Tour after Hulk Hogan and Eric Bischoff tooK over TNA. The tour featured Umaga's last match, as he died on December 4th 2009.
