***********HOGAN RETIRES*********

[The MAC]

fuck yeah!


Hulk Hogan is ahead of TNA storylines on Twitter, posting the following today…
“Pumped up for the IMPACT tapings in Knoxville tomorrow, the formal ending to my long career, thanks maniacs. HH”

“Huge celebration in Knoxville tomorrow at Civic Collesium, all full time maniacs are invited, time to thank everyone and say goodbye. HH”

At last week’s TNA iMPACT! tapings, Hogan claimed his career was done and it was time to formally say goodbye. This was done the day after TNA decided not to go through with the Hulk Hogan vs. Sting match at Bound for Glory. Hogan’s promo will air on the September 29th edition of the show, while the shows being taped tomorrow in Knoxville, TN will air October 6th and 13th.

I guess the tapings weren't drawing the crowd.

[Londoner]

Don't get my hopes up.

[loopydate]

This is clearly a work, furthering the Hogan/Sting story.

[Xero]

The only saving grace we have here is that he and Bischoff's contracts are coming up in a few months. It COULD be legit, and he COULD be leaving. Maybe they wanted BFG to be his last appearance but for whatever reason they changed it.

I still don't expect him to "retire" or even leave, just a little glimmer of hope there.

"Hey Let's build up to a Sting/Hogan Match! It worked in 1997!"-"Hell yeah! Let's do it!"

*Months Later*

"Alright! Sting finally won his shot at Hogan! This is gonna be TOO SWEET!"

Hogan: "Yeah. I don't think so anymore. Changed my mind."

[The MAC]

his health is fucked up. he can't take any falls.

[Xero]

That hasn't stopped him from doing promos, and won't.

[MVP]

Maybe he's running for President again.

[The MAC]

if he doesnt retire I will go to these tapings and kill him myself

[JimmyMess]

yeah, as if Hogan will truly go out with a whimper.

Sort of like what happened in the WWF in '97?

[Nicky Fives]

How is this any different from his WCW days? Hogan never did jobs of take bumps.....

[Cool King]

Rammsteinmad's hopes were crushed after reading Xero's post.

[Aguakate]

Maybe Hogan wants to go back to WWE?

[kareru]

you're forgetting who is the tna 'booker'

the ancients called him workus shootius russos

[MoFo]

lol wrestling retirements

[DAMN iNATOR]

YAY UNCONFIRMED WRESTLING NEWS. I'm now convinced that The MAC is also Ryan Clark.

[Ultra Mantis]

Still wouldn't be too surprised if Hogan did the Yokozuna routine on Roode at BFG.

[Xero]

lol Philly would absolutely riot.

So I say do it.

[FourFifty]

Yea, he's going to call it quits, and I'm the pope.

[DAMN iNATOR]

lol Philly would absolutely riot.

So I say do it.

[Rammsteinmad]

Let's be serious here, Hogan is way too selfish to put retirement over.

[St. Jimmy]

Ban THE MAC.

[VSG]

Why wouldn't he retire at BFG? Cmon people!

[Aguakate]

Hogan will retire in the WWE, somehow.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Not really feeling this retirement thing. We can only hope!

[Aaronp43]

And just really when was the last time hogan was in a match goodbye finally i cant stand hogan

[owenbrown]

I call bullshit

[Mr. JL]

If this is just a storyline it is a pretty stupid way to build towards your biggest payper view of the year.

If you have a chance to promote Hulk Hogan versus Sting

PROMOTE THE MATCH EVERY FUCKING WHERE!!!!!!!!!!!

[Rammsteinmad]

But I'm sure shit like this was 'cool' back in 1996!

[Blitz]

The Mac, you're just as dumb as a block, aren't you?

[Droford]

Hogan vs Flair Double Death Match There Can Be No Winner

[Xero]

Impact Spoilers pertaining to this for 10/6 and 10/13, from PWInsider:

*Hulk Hogan came out for his retirement angle and started crying. Sting showed up and said no one believes it and this is why - he played a secret video of Hogan and Bischoff mocking the fans for believing it and that it was a ploy to sell Hogan shirts. Hogan cut a promo on Sting and said he will face Sting and Sting accepted.

Next show:

*They had a contract signing for Sting vs. Hogan. Bischoff distracted Sting, allowing Hogan to nail him with a chair to close the taping.


lulz

[JimmyMess]

*thread title* followed by NOT

[owenbrown]

Ok I wonder how many socks Ryan Clark has in the goddamn wrestling forum?

[Droford]

It should be Hogan/Bischoff vs Sting/Random Celebrity or Sports Star
