In a story first broken by Justin LaBar of Wrestlezone.com, several high profile celebrities/non-wrestling personalities will be appearing in a video for Hulk Hogan’s birthday segment later tonight on “Monday Night Raw.”

One of those names is NBA megastar LeBron James, who recently signed on with the Cleveland Cavaliers after four-straight NBA Finals appearances with the Miami Heat.

Also set to be in the video are Shaquille O’Neal, Florida Georgia Line and Flo Rida.

Other names will also appear in the form of pre-taped birthday messages directed at Hogan.

WWE Hall of Famer Iron Sheik was invited to the festivities but wasn’t feeling well enough to make the trip.

Scott Hall and Kevin Nash will both be with Hogan in the ring in the form of an NWO reunion. Ric Flair, Jimmy Hart and Paul Orndorff are rumored to be there as well.

Editor’s Note

I don’t see the point of putting so much emphasis on a segment that has nothing to do with WWE “SummerSlam” on Sunday. It’s going to be fun to watch, though. I’ll take it for what it’s worth.
