WWE has their SummerSlam press conference today in Washington DC promoting the show. A bunch of the superstars came out and cut promos. The really interesting promo featured Hulk Hogan and Shawn Michaels. Hogan was talking on the mic about how he was going to lay Michaels out. Suddenly, HBK, who was not scheduled to be there, came out for a face off. Things got tense and they ended up knocking down the conference backdrop.

Teddy Long then made his way out, he announced that SummerSlam was sold out, but they will make more tickets available for the show soon. Tickets can only be purchased at the box office.

Finally, the conference was opened for questions from those in attendance (mostly fans). One guy ribbed JBL, then JBL responded with something to the effect of “I already have a black man to carry my bags, I don’t need you.” We’re pretty sure that was what he said. He drew a lot of heat for that.

Vince McMahon was asked when DC would get a WrestleMania and he avoided the question by saying it would happen when JBL became president. Then Vince said maybe someday it would happen.

A soldier who was injured in Iraq asked John Cena if she could have his camouflage hat, off of his head. He said it was the prototype for his new cap and that he would be happy to give it to her, and did.

Hogan was asked if he would ever wear the title belt again and he said it would be a dream come true.

Teddy Long was asked when Brock Lesnar would return. Teddy kind of blew it off and said he had no idea. Vince McMahon said that the NFL season will start soon, but he doesn't think Brock will be there either, avoiding the question. Batista then said a Lesnar-Batista match would pop a PPV and he wants Lesnar to come home to WWE.

Vince was asked when Triple H and Ric Flair were coming back and he said, "Whenever they feel like it, the door's wide open."

Teddy said "one more question" and someone asked Hogan for his autograph. Teddy then sent it to Vince for final comments, but someone else just closed the conference and had everyone escorted off the stage.
