Melbourne, Nov 18 Professional wrestler Hulk Hogan is said to have been attacked by his ring rival Ric Flair during the Hulkamania promotional press conference at Star City.

According to Sydney Central, Flair, 60, threw a table off the stage and into the press gathering, breaking a photographer's flash before diving onto them, and whipping anyone within range with his trouser belt.

Hogan, 56, who was excited to be touring Australia for the first time, was bleeding profusely from the head, and confusion broke out when the veteran-wrestling star was unable to get to his feet.
