LOS ANGELES, Sept. 3 -- Bischoff Hervey Entertainment

"We couldn't be more pleased with our selection of ShineReveille

aggressive, have clout and an understanding of how to leverage Hulk Hogan's
existing brand equity in the global marketplace today. With partners like
ShineReveille and Viacom, we are very excited to take this next step in the
