‘Hacksaw’ Jim Duggan signs WWE Legends contract

Wrestling legend “Hacksaw” Jim Duggan is back under contract with WWE.

Speaking on a new episode of The Hacksaw Hour, Duggan revealed that he recently signed a WWE Legends contract. Duggan said it’s been a while since he was last under a Legends deal — and he’s looking forward to being featured in action figures and video games again.

“I just signed a Legends deal with the WWE,” the 71-year-old Duggan announced. “Just recently signed the Legends deal. I haven’t signed it for a while, there was a little kind of discrepancy what was going on, but we got it all worked out and was able to sign it. So hopefully the action figures and the games will be coming back out again.”

Duggan made an appearance at the WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event episode that took place in San Antonio on January 25. While at the show, he was also interviewed for future WWE content. Duggan said he was treated very well backstage and received a good paycheck for appearing. He feels WWE is a whole different world under its new management regime.

“I’m excited [about the Legends deal]. Like I said, it’s a whole new day up there in WWE. Proud to be part of it,” Duggan said. “Of course, you know, I never blasted the WWE. I never blasted Vince [McMahon]. As bad as he was, I still wouldn’t be where I am without him. Wrestling wouldn’t be where it is without him. I can’t vouch for his character — but as a businessman that took wrestling from high school gyms and National Guard armories to what it is today.

“But I signed that deal, so hopefully it won’t take too long to be in the circuit to come out with new action figures and stuff, and hopefully they give me some abs this time, you know? [laughs]”

Duggan is a member of the WWE Hall of Fame, having been inducted in 2011.
