Your thoughts on Hulk Hogan

[The Naitch]

Especially now that he's in TNA

If he retired on top (having his final match with WWE on a high note) instead of going to TNA, I think people would have more respect for him. I mean he came back and had an epic encounter with The Rock, which I never expected to ever happen, but then he kept hanging around.

or am I being too hard on the Huckster?

[Xero]

99.999999999999999% of everyone here will say they hate him now.

[The Naitch]

what exactly started the Hogan hate? Was it a single event or a series of things? I'm guessing it was his refusal to put people over in WCW? Or does it date back to his WWF days?

[Lock Jaw]

I respect the fella's accomplishments, but yeah, as with most wrestlers when they reach a certain age, he has gone off the deep end.

I was never a big fan of TNA, but there were the occasional moments I'd make sure to watch. What Hogan has effectively done since his arrival is to smother anything that's marginally fun about Impact. He is like a cancer - growing and infecting, both by bringing in his buddies and by taking over far too much airtime. This has annoyed me immensely because TNA really were the alternative to the WWE, which thankfully has improved immensely since the middle of 2010.

Immortal is a joke. Hogan, Bischoff and Jarrett are three guys everyone has seen too much of. Hogan has a hard-on for Abyss, who is so broken down he can barely wrestle and who's character has been more fucked about with than Kane's. While Hardy is a shadow of himself, lumbering around the ring and stumbling through promos. Thank god for the merger with Fourtune.

[Rammsteinmad]

I hate Hulk Hogan with a passion. Seriously hate him. I want him to die. NOW!

Hogan is a huge, cancerous mole on the pro wrestling industry, who has never done anything for anyone other than himself. At nearly 60 years of age he still thinks he's the biggest wrestler on the planet. He still hogs all the spotlight and still thinks he's the main star of the show. When he first joined TNA he was saying how it wasn't to 'steal the spotlight' but to help out the younger guys, yet since joining TNA all the main storylines evolve around him.

Despite his raging popularity in the 80's and 90's, Hogan is seriously a terrible in-ring wrestler. He was incredibly immobile and could barely move, and this was in his prime. And yet in this day and age, we're supposed to believe that a 60-year-old man, whom has had more surgeries than I've had shits, can still beat a 30-year-old in his prime.

He still thinks run-ins/beatdowns/main event drama-bullshit is still the in-thing, and being a cool, rebellious badass equals ratings (which it did, 15 years ago). He still believes he's the main draw of whichever company he works for and thinks that he's still the only worthwhile name, when the truth is that this is only the case because he never allows it to be any different.

When he's not hogging the spotlight in the ring he has to find other stupid ways to do it. Hogan Knows Best, Hulk Hogans Celebrity Wrestling and any other crappy endeavor he's made. Sure, Hogan was cool to see in the 80's but I don't give a fuck about him now. Or his DUI-life-ruining son or his skank daughter. And on the subject of his daughter:

I never cared about Hulk Hogan when I was young, I was always a fan of people like Bret Hart, Chris Benoit and oddly enough Tatanka (hey, I was kid). But Hogan just never appealed to me, and as I learned more about the industry and how it works, my hatred for Hogan became a lot more real.

Seriously I hate Hulk Hogan so much. He’s the greatest thing and the worst thing to ever happen to professional wrestling. I’ve made some claims here which could be true or false or whatever, I only know what I read/see, but I don’t give a fuck if people want links or proof or make bullshit claims like ‘you make all this statements without backing yourself up’. The internet is fucking huge and we all know how to use it, so go find any proof you want yourself.

I’ve said this many times, but I can’t wait for the day Hulk Hogan dies. Because then I’m gonna come on TPWW and be the biggest prick imaginable to anyone who actually feels sad about it and posts any ‘RIP Hogan’ bullshit.

FUCK typing this is making me mad, got some washing up that needs doing that’ll calm me down.

FUCK HULK HOGAN I CAN’T WAIT FOR HIM TO DIE!!!

He is like a cancer - growing and infecting.

I'm reasonably confident this was inspired by an earlier post by me. I always refer to Hogan as a 'cancerous mole on the pro wrestling industry'. :kiss:

[Rammsteinmad]

Also, I loved all the shit with his divorce and how it made him feel suicidal.

God his life must be so fucking hard, getting his own, underserving way over everyone his entire life, being paid billions upon billions of dollars to not help anyone but himself, and then his wife wants a divorce and boo-fucking-hoo 'I wanna kill myself'. Stupid raging egomanical prick!

Fucking shame he didn't go along with it. Wouldn't surprise me if he's just looking for more attention.

Aaaaand you're an idiot.

Hulk Hogan was the fucking man up until somewhere around Wrestlemania 9. He was the right man for the job, and nobody could have done better (though some may have done it just as well.) In the ensuing time, Hogan was little more than an obstacle to good programming and talent advancement. If he deserves credit for anything after that point, then it can very well be said that his going to WCW did provide a spike in popularity and revenue that many others benefited from. He does not deserve credit for getting the nWo over; while his turn was an excellent bit of booking at the time, the angle was just as over before his involvement, and after joining the group Hogan did little but sandbag the stable by making it about him instead of the group and then having Bischoff start the parade of old men to oppose him. And then he fucked up the payoff of his Starrcade match with Sting. After joining WCW he was entirely in business for himself and ensured that any time he was around, that everything was about him. I don't want to hear about anyone he put over late in WCW or early in his WWE return; all he was doing at that point was bankrolling points to ensure he could continue to do nothing but push himself afterwards.

That being aside, his personal life has been pathetic to disgusting; trying to buy his daughter a career was laughable, and his public treatment of his son's friend-crippling car accident was deplorable. I will never deny the man's contributions to wrestling in the early years of the WWF, but the man has become a faded shadow of the man he was, a man who isn't even fit to do commercials for furniture rental companies.

Oh, wait, he DOES do commercials for furniture rental companies. Because he's a dumbass and his ex-wife so thoroughly cleaned him out that he needs the money and, let's face it, never had any shame to begin with.

I'd respond to this at least half seriously if it wasn't so helplessly drowning in your dislike of Hogan and 'facts' from 8th/9th hand sources. The heat Hogan gets from the mongs makes Triple H look like Bryan Danielson. Don't you have a picture of a cup or something to post?

[Swiss Ultimate]

I put no blame on Hogan. If people are willing to pay you alot of money than I can't fault him one bit.

He's done a good job convincing companies that he's still relevant and convincing fans that it's cool to sarcastically cheer for Hogan.

Personally though, I hate watching the guy work the mic' and have hated him in the ring ever since the end of the first NWO.

[Majunior]

I don't like Hogan one bit, but it's more about things like the incident with Flair's son. Shit like that is why Hogan was and is a douche.

[Theo Dious]

I'd respond to this at least half seriously if it wasn't so helplessly drowning in your dislike of Hogan and 'facts' from 8th/9th hand sources.

Let's stop right here. Is it 8th/9th hand source information that he tried to buy his daughter a career? Is it 8th/9th hand source information that he made apallingly callous remarks towards the victim of an accident his son was at the very least partially responsible for?

Some of what I said was certainly opinion; but are you saying that Hogan didn't do everything possible in WCW, particularly the nWo days, to build himself at the total disregard of everyone else in the company? Or are you just another of the legions that are so pressed to Bischoff's dick as if it were the teat of the milk of life that you beleive that the Ultimate Warrior wasn't brought in to boost Hogan's ego? If so then we have nothing to discuss here. It's okay though, I've had enough exchanges with Kane Knight that I'm used to talking to people who are either to lazy to or just incapable of actually backing up their points.

[Nowhere Man]

Hogan is always kind of a mixed bag.

On the one hand, he has never really been good in the ring. Nowhere near the worst I've ever seen, but I can't think of a Hogan match that ever managed to suspend my disbelief. On the other hand, the guy was a lot of fun on the mic, and for about the first half of his career had a genuine energy to his persona that's just kind of exciting to see, even if you know the match itself is probably going to blow.

He's always been pretty infamous for his politicking bullshit backstage, with enough stories floating around of him refusing to put people over that he makes Triple H look like a selfless bleeding-heart; stuff like Wrestlemania 9 comes to mind. On the other hand, having him and his cronies run the show has had some real unexpected benefits, like driving Steve Austin out of WCW and into WWF, where he went on to become one of the three most popular wrestlers ever (besides Hogan and the Rock).

And as much as I hate to say it, despite how many people can claim (legitimately or not) that Hogan screwed them over on the show, if it weren't for him, there very well may not have been a show for them to be screwed over in the first place. Vince has tried and failed over and over again to re-create a "new Hogan," which says to me that the massive success of Hulkamania had more to do with the performer himself than the hype generated around him.

Hogan's done an awful lot of good for the industry, but an awful lot of damage to it too. I think at this point his name-value has worn off, and it's really not worth the amount of money it takes to keep him around.

A rich guy trying to buy his daughter's career. What a bastard. Think of all the other miming blondes with their ridiculously over-produced music that are going to go hungry because of evil Hulk Hogan. And if you're referring to the 'God laid shit on him' or whatever the 'quote' was about John Graziano, that was during what for all intents and purposes was a private conversation to his son that was leaked by somebody. I don't think his remarks were the best thing he could have said but 1. they were still private, not meant for anybody else to hear, like how a million evil people wish their boss would die but don't actually wish for a plane to crash into the guy and 2. there is no context to base the remarks off of. Hogan claimed something about trying to keep his sons spirits up while he was in jail, to not feel as though the world was against him. Saying something in private (there's those words again) to your own son in some misguided attempt to comfort him hardly makes you the spawn of Satan. But hey, people will believe whatever the papers and TMZ's of the world tell them. It's how they stay in business.

And how naive can you be? This is what I'm talking about when I use the word 'experts', people like you assume everybody thinks the same way as you, that wrestling is something there strictly to please you and your likeness, that the things yourself and others bitch, moan about and dissect actually means jack shit in the 'grand scheme' of things (or at least the pro wrestling industry). I don't give a fuck if Hulk Hogan went out and got himself the fattest paycheck in the history of professional wrestling whichever way he could. More credit to the guy if he succeeded. I will always respect those who go out and make a fuckton of money in it as opposed to those sitting back and crying about who should be on top based on their 'workrate' or because they cut 'hilarious' promos featuring various insider references whilst these guys chasing the top spot race past them. It's a fucking business, it works the same way as any other entertainment industry, if not most industries period. The can-doers, the connected, the most valuable and the very best will always rise to the top. Hulk Hogan was all four.

Ever notice how most of the internet has something to bitch about when it comes to Hogan but most people actually in the business, those that have actually been around Hogan in a working environment say the opposite? Funny how that works.

[Theo Dious]

And on the subject of his daughter:

http://assets.gearlive.com/celebrities/blogimages/hulk_brookehogan.jpg

I don't know what horrifies me more about this photo, the fact that Hogan is touching his daughter's damn-near-bare-ass or how vile and disgusting his skin looks hanging off of his body like an overdone marshmallow.

[dhellova guy]

I will never forget the blowoff to the Hogan-Sting program. After waiting over a year for the match, Starcade came to my city, and I was gunna see the biggest match of the year in my opinion.

Then the ref counted the 3 for Hogan, and I turned to my friend and said, "what the fuck? A YEAR building this and Sting LOSES?"

Then Bret got in the ring and started yelling about a fast count. I was fairly close. I again turned to my friend and said, "did that count look fast to you?" "No, not really" was his answer.

Then they restarted the match and Sting won. The crowd didnt know what to do. I have watched replays of that match, and I dont remember even the meager response that I have heard on them. Everyone was kinda just like, what the fuck.

An older gentleman, sitting next to us, said, "god damn that fucking hogan. He wouldnt even job to Sting. Fuck him man."

Thats when I lost all respect for the man.

Props for everything he has accomplished, but the man is an egotistical maniac.

[JimmyMess]

No Hulk Hogan = no wrestling boom

Hulk Hogan overstayed his wrestling career. And all of you who are arguing about his backstage politics, who he wouldn't put over, all the spotlight hogging... you're not the guys from the WWF/E... you're not the guys from WCW.... so don't be pissed off for them.... without Hogan none of this happens.

So sit down, shut the fuck up, and enjoy the fact that you have wrestling today to bitch and complain about in the first place.

Jesus Fuck.

If you can't admit how big he was and how is legacy will last forever (Hulkamania will never die)... you're stupid.

Douchebag, I haven't heard anyone say that Hogan doesn't have a great legacy. But for every great thing he has done for this business, he has done something else to screw it.

Three people destroyed WCW (forgetting about the turner - time warner merger), Eric Bischoff, Vince Russo and Hulk Hogan.

He needs someone talented to filter through all his bull shit and come up with a workable storyline. He truly believes he is the sole reason for Hulkamania, and he isn't. Without McMahon, and without talented performers putting his ass over, he would have been another Jesse Ventura, great body, always wonder what he could have been.

[Xero]

I got into wrestling because of Hogan. The Piper/Hogan VHS was one of my favorites, and I was a Hollywood Hogan mark. He is THE icon of wrestling. Bigger than Ric Flair. Bigger than Shawn Michaels. Bigger than Bruno Sammartino. I could list anybody here, and Hogan will outshine him. That said, I don't care for him at all anymore.

I do believe he was bad for WCW. However, I don't blame him entirely. I blame Eric Bischoff for that. I blame the people running it. Hogan politicked and whatever he said went, but as it was said earlier in this thread, the people running the promotion let that happen. When Hogan came back to WWE, he was given the title, but I guarantee you that it had nothing to do with Hogan asking for the belt and more about Vince wanting to put Hogan in the spotlight and make some money. Hogan takes advantage of oppurtunity. He's a smart man. He may be ruthless as well, but he's smart.

As for TNA. Honestly, I don't think he's THAT bad for them. It made sense to bring him in on a "let's see if this works" level. Fact is, Hogan did nothing long-term for TNA, and the ratings support this fact. He was booked into being a main focus of the show, which was bad. He never should have been as big of a focus as he has been. He should have absolutely been on the show, but not in the role he's been in. But I see that as more of a Bischoff or Russo idea much more than Hogan's. But like Hell Hogan isn't going to take advantage of that.

I don't like Hogan and I'd be happy if he left the business forever, because he's proven that he can no longer bring anything of worth, at least as far as TV goes. But putting all the blame on him is unfair.

Pretty sure Hogan didn't destroy WCW. Pretty sure Hogan doesn't believe he's the sole reason for Hulkamania. Pretty sure you're just posting "common facts about Hogan" as opposed to a legitimate opinion.

The death of WCW was a business decision hands down. There was no conspiracy, no "these two, or this guy or these three killed it." Do you think it was a coincidence that WCW was sold right after the merger? Shit like that happens every day in the corporate world.

But aside from that... another Jesse Ventura? That line in and of itself implies there is a Hulk Hogan ahead of him..... Jesse Ventura didn't go anywhere because he didn't draw like Hogan, period.

Hulk Hogan has flat out stated that Vince McMahon and Terry Bollea created Hulkamania. And together those two ran with it. You hear the phrase all the time "right place at the right time"... he was and he was the right guy. He was money.

He was at the forefront of the biggest parts of wrestling... the '80's boom, the nWo... shit like that just isn't "well fuck him anyone could have done it, coincidence, blah blah blah" The only reason any of that worked was it was Hulk fucking Hogan.

Do I agree with what he's doing now? Absolutely not. But Hulk Hogan will go down as the absolute biggest thing in wrestling without a shadow of a doubt. And people hate him why? Because he can't work? Who gives a fuck, its pro wrestling... I don't want to watch a fucking crossface armbar takedown leglock... if I wanted to watch that I'd watch NCAA wrestling... I'd like to see how well you pull off your Chris Jericho impression when your 6'7" and weigh 300 lbs. Its about what works and what doesn't, and what sells and what doesn't. Powerhouse Hulk Hogan with the bodyslam, and the leg drop works. And you know why? Without it WrestleMania fails... and wrestling fails.

Now I hope none of you have taken my rant personally... its just my opinion.

[legendkillerRKO]

I didnt really get into wrestling until the end of Hogans WWF run, the first PPV i ever saw was when he lost to Yokozuna. So from someone from my era all I have seen from gys like Hogan and Flair is guys that have a good past vut have stayed in waaaay longer than they should have. And honestly I guess it was a "you had to be there" thing cuz when I go back and watch old Hogan stuff from his peak...I don't get it. He was pretty boring in the ring. Just my take.

[Heisenberg]

Lot of honest posts and in depth thoughts. I don't agree with the TNA joining and all, but at his prime he was the one I looked up to and when he dropped that damn Leg Drop, you knew it was over.

I was born in 82, and I saw Rock vs Hogan live.

Take a guess about how I feel about him.

[SuperSlim]

I can say... I could careless for Hulk Hogan.

Hulk has had his time at the top... and he has manipulated the ways of the business to stay at the top.

But to say that Hulk was the main reason nWo took off would be a mistake. Hall and Nash were the reason. Hulk just created that extra boost. But if it wasn't for those two... there would not be an nWo.

But right now in TNA... he's just an extra body collecting large sums of money.

[The Naitch]

I agree with LC. I always wanted to see Hogan vs. Cena. Screwjob #2 would be icing on the cake

[DLVH84]

Well, I doubt Hulk Hogan will ever come back to the ring to wrestle again, because of the seriousness of his back surgeries.

[Majunior]

The can-doers, the connected, the most valuable and the very best will always rise to the top. Hulk Hogan was all four.
Not exactly. Quite often in business the connected skyrocket to the top, while the very best workers often times work themselves into a lockdown. They become too valuable to take out of the spot they fill. It's BS, but it's what happens. And saying Hogan was all four? No. He was in no way "the very best."

Plus, he can still be all those things AND be a total douche.

I'm not going to get involved with your argument about whether Hogan is a good guy or bad guy, to be honest I have my opinion of him and I'm sticking with it, but this is something I've wondered about before, and it's pretty simple to be honest.

Let's take Alex Shelley for example, he dislikes Hogan, he feels he's being held back, and so he says this in the public, maybe on the radio, on a website, interview etc. Do you honestly think this will benefit his career? It's sad that this is how the world works but I'm fairly certain Hogan has a lot more pull in TNA than someone like Alex Shelley, and all it takes is for Hogan is hear something like this and for him to have words with Dixie Carter.

I could be wrong, maybe all the wrestlers who say nice things about Hogan are being genuine, but it's is really unrealistic to think they could also be covering their own asses?

[Rammsteinmad]

I just wish Hogan didn't.

Well, I doubt Hulk Hogan will ever come back to the ring to wrestle again, because of the seriousness of his back surgeries.

Hogan would refuse to put over a back surgery.

[whiteyford]

I never liked Hogan as a kid or as i got older but Hulk deserved his run on top, he was the face of the industry, and politics aside he was over like noone else at the time. And i agree with Gertner, if he can convince someone to pay him a huge amount why shouldnt he take it? I'd prefer he retired but i don't think he'll ever go away.

[Sixx]

Reason I started watching wrestling.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

I didn't enjoy Hogan until the nWo, might have had something to do with being raised with WCW Saturday TV rather than WWF, but even when he jumped ship, I always found him to be a bit bland. But I even hated cookie-cutter good guys in cartoons.

He was the fucking man during the early part of the nWo though and now he's in TNA, he's not on my screen so I can't comment.

[Sixx]

Sadly, he's just laughable these days.

Also, Rammsteinmad's anger is hilarious.

FUCK HULK HOGAN I CAN’T WAIT FOR HIM TO DIE!!!

[Rammsteinmad]

I can't tell if you're being serious, or taking a shot at me.

If you're taking a shot at me, we're gonna have problems.

Hogan is the Man.

[Rammsteinmad]

Ok then we're cool. I feel I should rep you for that post but do you still have that thing going on about trying to be the worst poster ever?

[Fignuts]

hmmm...It seems they forgot to give me any ketchup packets with my value meal. DEATH TO YOU AND ALL YOUR KIN!

Seriously?

[Nightwing]

I appreciate what he did for the business but his time is long passed. He was out of steam at WM 9, got lucky with the nWo deal for a period of time, and then WWF fans wanting one last nostalgia run. He should have stepped aside after his WM match with The Rock. But yeah, im not a fan of seeing him taking TV time present day. Maybe like periodically on WWE TV every once in a great while, but nowhere near an every week focal point.

Lol.

You are wrong.

[Gertner]

If Hogan never existed than the WWE probably wouldn't be around today. He was that vital to the company during their expansion in the 80's.

[Gertner]

You know what I find hilarious by the way? People like Ramm and Tin have that much hatred towards a guy in a fake sport. You're no different thatn a fat housewife getting upset about a character on General Hospital.

[Kane Knight]

Haters Gonna Hate,

Wrestling's fake what the fuck are you on about?

[SaskatchewanChamp]

Rammsteinmad you are a bitter cunt.

[Rammsteinmad]

I bet your Mum doesn't know you use language like that.

[Kane Knight]

His mum doesn't know he's on the internet. He's not supposed to use it when she's not home.

No shit dumb dick thats what it is. Its a violent soap opera. God we know its just a damn TV show. Why do you always have to be so stupid? And why does it have to be a FAT houswife. The majority of women who are stay at home moms have the time to work out and eat right and therefor are not over weight. Know your facts before you open you mouth you silly silly balding child. ooTin has spoken.

[ooTin]

Lol.

You are wrong.

No sir your wrong. Mamas right! I believe there is something wrong with your medulla oblongata....

[Rammsteinmad]

Actually, without all the swearing, ooTin does make a point which kind of relates to my hatred for Hulk Hogan. Wrestling is scripted which is why it bothers me Hogan has such a big thing about jobbing.

[Aguakate]

My thoughts on Hulk Hogan can be summarized with 2 words: Sad Story.
