Hulk Hogan one more time

[Optimus Bone 69]

After all Hogan has done to ruin his legacy over the past few years, is it still possible for him to become the Babe ruth of the wwe and be the go to legend
or is he fucked

[Fignuts]

His legacy is fine.

[Mongo Lloyd]

he's fucked

[BigDaddyCool]

Hogan can come back when ever he wants. Unless he pulls a Chris Beniot, he will always be welcome in the WWE.

[Rammsteinmad]

His legacy isn't ruined, but I really don't think he will be of any benefit to WWE right now.

[JimmyMess]

Hulk Hogan will have to pull a Benoit to destroy the Hulkamania legacy.

Hogan will always be the biggest thing from wrestling ever.

[Bad News Gertner]

Stop with this "legacy is ruined" crap. Hogan could get rolled out in a wheelchair at age 95 and outpop the entire roster and it wouldn't be close. He's the most iconic wrestler in history. There never has nor ever will be a bigger star.

[Bad News Gertner]

That includes Stone Cold. If the two walked down the street half the people wouldn't know Stone Cold. Everybody knows Hulk Hogan. Id LOVE for Hogan to make an appearence.

[Shisen Kopf]

Hulk Hogan is the Babe Ruth of rasslin. Stone Cold is like the Mark McGwire or something. The Rock is Ernie Banks and Col Debeers is Ty Cobb. Post of the year candidate.

[James Steele]

That includes Stone Cold. If the two walked down the street half the people wouldn't know Stone Cold. Everybody knows Hulk Hogan. Id LOVE for Hogan to make an appearence.

I wouldn't go that far, but everybody does know who Hulk Hogan is though and is probably the first name most associate with pro wrestling. I would be happy if I never saw Hulk Hogan again. Of course, I didn't grow up in the 80s so I don't look at him as a hero of any kind.

[Bad News Gertner]

I did, and he was one of the most biggest entertainment stars in the world.

[Emperor Smeat]

Regardless of what he did for TNA, he's still going to be treated as the big legend for the WWE by the fans and WWE management.

If the opportunity came up, could see him act as the special guest host for next year's Mania.

[James Steele]

I did, and he was one of the most biggest entertainment stars in the world.

[Bad News Gertner]

He still is. Everybody knows Hulk.

[James Steele]

He is known by everybody in the same way everybody knew Anna Nicole Smith as opposed to being known in the same way everybody knows Tom Cruise/Michael Jordan.

[whiteyford]

His legacy isn't ruined, but I really don't think he will be of any benefit to WWE right now.

[Bad News Gertner]

He is known by everybody in the same way everybody knew Anna Nicole Smith as opposed to being known in the same way everybody knows Tom Cruise/Michael Jordan.

He's known as the biggest wrestling star of all time and the Michael Jordan of wrestling.

[Corporate CockSnogger]

Hulk Hogan's the best. Can't believe there are grown adults who care so much about professional wrestling that can't see how important he is/was to professional wrestling.

[Shisen Kopf]

He's known as the biggest wrestling star of all time and the Michael Jordan of wrestling.

Who's the Dennis Rodman of rasslin? Probably not Dennis Rodman b/c I consider him be the Karl Malone of rasslin. Maybe Tatanka b/c of the red hair?

[James Steele]

Mike Awesome or Prince Iaukea.

[James Steele]

Def Prince Iaukea

Hulk Hogan was important to wrestling, but his involvement in TNA has shown how little he matters now. What has he done to help TNA "go to the next level" other than leave Orlando and hemorrhage money being on tour. If he was still relevant as a draw, TNA would have jumped leaps and bounds in the past few years since he took over. Instead, they are still a glorified niche promotion.

[CWK]

I hate when WWE people say that Austin was the biggest star ever. He wasn't not even close. Hogan was the biggest. They also say that Austin sold more merchandise than Hogan. HE SHOULD HAVE!!!! Austin had more varieties of merchandise out than Hogan did.

Imagine if Hogan in the mid 80's to the early 90's had the benefit of the following.....

Monday Night RAW live every Monday Night.
Smackdown for 2 hours Every Thursday Night
Monthly Pay Per Views
The Internet (Both from a visibility standpoint and as an avenue to sell merchandise)

Hogan was the bigger star anyways but if he had the things listed above, Austin wouldn't even be in the conversation. It's actually not even a fair comparison.

[Shisen Kopf]

Makes me mad too when people say that CWK. Let's break something while listening to limp bizkit.

[Shisen Kopf]

Drew Brees is a mulatto

Nothing can help TNA. Nothing at all. Not the Rock, Stone Cold, nobody. Short term, yes. Long term, no.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

It was all over once Nick crashed that car and nearly killed that dude.

I also think that is why Austin's run on top was much shorter than Hogan's. He had to actually wrestle and put on good matches every night as opposed to a shitfest with some poses thrown in.

[Heisenberg]

One more leg drop. I doubt he could pull one off without breaking something, but he could leg drop his opponent and destroy the ring during RAW and jizz on his TNA shirt.

[James Steele]

Live Sex Celebration with Bubba the Love Sponge doing LIVE! HOT! COMMENTARY!

[Fignuts]

lol Anna Nicole Smith

Hulk Hogan is definitely as famous as Jordan and Cruise.

He's not just a wrestling icon, he's a cultural icon. I remember listening to a podcast with a former TNA writer, who said they had to go to great lengths to get from point a to point b. he can't just walk down the street as he'd get swamped wherever he went, because EVERYONE knows who Hulk Hogan is whether they are wrestling fans or not.

His current relevancy has nothing to do with it. Everyone remembers or at least knows how big Hulkamania was, and its made him one of the most recognizable people in the world.

He will always be a cultural icon, and he will always be able to walk into a WWE ring and have the crowd in the palms of his hand.

[Fignuts]

James Steele is just pissed because Hogan kicked Triple H's ass, and ended his title run after only one month.

[James Steele]

...and is there anything wrong with that?

[Bad News Gertner]

HHH finally got held down after years of holding everybody down due to banging the boss's daughter.

[James Steele]

They weren't even married when he jobbed to Hogan.

[Bad News Gertner]

They had been dating for 2 years. Gotta keep Steph happy. He killed ratings too. Surprised TNA isn't #1 as a result of nepotism.

[CWK]

I also think that is why Austin's run on top was much shorter than Hogan's. He had to actually wrestle and put on good matches every night as opposed to a shitfest with some poses thrown in.

He run would have been fairly long if we would have not missed most of 2000 with an injury and walked out on the company in mid 2002.

His run would have been solid from 1997 to 2003 so six years. Hogan had 8 years on his run.

[Bad News Gertner]

Hogan had two runs, 1 as a face, 1 as a heel.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Would love to see Hulk Hogan come out and confront Zeb Colter and The Real Americans. Hogan talks to Colter about the spirit of America and says that Swagger and Cesaro are both two young bulls that deserve better than to be attached to Colter, who is only using them for evil, brother. Hogan says that Swagger is one of the best submission wrestlers he has ever seen and that Cesaro's strength is scary. Colter calls Hogan a washed up, nearly crippled reality television star. Colter tells Swagger and Cesaro to finish the job on Hogan and put him down for good. Hogan looks a little worried, since he's no spring chicken, but he's not going to back down. Los Matadores run out for the save and do a whirlwind of cool offense on The Real Americans, dumping them out of the ring as Colter is left in the ring with Hogan. Hulk grabs Colter by the jacket and says that he could lay him out right now, but he's not a coward like Colter is. Hogan then poses with Los Matadores, making them the most over tag team in the world.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Hogan then reveals that he the Board of Directors haven't been impressed with how Triple H and Stephanie McMahon have been throwing their power around, so they've made Hogan the new General Manager of RAW. Hogan announces that Los Matadores will face The Real Americans at the next PPV (Hell in a Cell) and that Cody Rhodes is now back in the WWE, because that youngster is a future World Heavyweight Champion, brother. Hogan then says that he's also hiring his legend of a brother, brother, and that Goldust & Cody Rhodes are getting a Tag Team Title shot at Hell in a Cell. Hogan also says that he's going to make sure Big Show doesn't get fired for anything he does, so Big Show knocks out Triple H and becomes a mega-face.

[scatterbrain28]

I had high hopes for Hogan watching his stuff from the 80's, but all he did was punches and legdrops, which is a shame since his stuff post 2002 was a lot better and was booked against guys that matched his style (Taker and HHH in 2002). If he was booked against Kurt Angle early in his WWE comeback, he'd outwrestle his ass and make him look like a chump.

STILL LOVE THAT SHIT!!! :love::heart::love::drool::love::eek::y::D

[Heyman]

Honestly,

At this point,

I think having Hulk Hogan back in the WWE full-time would be a major step back.

I wouldn't mind a few appearances every now and then a la Bret Hart, Brock Lesnar, and The Rock, but Hogan on the TV set week in week out would be a bad decision IMO.

Guys like Bryan, Punk, Ziggler, Shield, Wyatt Family, and John Cena should be getting as much TV Time as possible.

[Wake Up Call]

Guys like Bryan, Punk, Ziggler, Shield, Wyatt Family, and John Cena should be getting as much TV Time as possible.

Yeah and that got them the lowest rating in how many years? Hogan would be good for business. He would draw a way better audience that these "new generation" of wrestlers. For christsakes we will see John Cena back soon if these pathetic "stars" don't pick their shit up.

It's apparent non of them can carry this business, the business will never survive with these small stars, it's not believable for Bryan to win half the matches he does. Too small. Bring back Hogan, save the rating.

HHH is shit too by the way, he is more to blame than Brya is for the piss poo audience the show has drawn. He's boring as fuck on the microphone, and says the same shit he said from day 1. Bring back Vince!

[Mr. Nerfect]

Would love to see Triple H bring Hogan back because it's "Best for Business," only to have Hogan tell Triple H that Daniel Bryan is a better wrestler than he ever was, brother. The way he knocked Cena and Orton out with his knee -- that kid doesn't need 24-inch pythons when he's got skills like that. The kid is the future, brother." *Sierra, Hotel, Indigo, Echo, Lima, Delta...Shield*

Hogan can also give his backstage blessing to Curt Hawkins to do the gimmick I've suggested where he dresses up in two colors (could be blue and orange to fit Hawkins' current attire) and claims that Hawkamania is runnin' wild.

[Rammsteinmad]

Hulk Hogan going anywhere to get someone else over... :rofl:

[dronepool]

Screw Hogan... book this.

Ken Shamrock vs Sheamus

[Ultra Mantis]

Did we ever find out what Noid is on? Anything that makes a guy think Hogan returning just to get Curt Hawkins over isn't absolutely fucking ridiculous has got to be some good shit.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Oh, I think it is completely ridiculous. I don't have stuff that good. :(

[screech]

Hogan could come back to RAW this week and the crowd would go berserk. Do I want him there full-time? No, especially since it could lead to "one more match." But appearances here and there wouldn't be a bad idea.

[CLAM iNATOR]

Hogan is too old/dated to feud with anyone of significance and no one who grew up a Hulkamaniac would tune in to watch. It wouldn't turn into any sort of long term rating for the company. Give him some interviews on some DVDs and that's about it.

Hogan got rid of the 6 sided ring and got TNA to take iMPACT! on the road. What more did you want the guy to do? He's in his 60s now, he can't be a main event player. I think Hogan did everything he could to take TNA to the next level, it was up to others to pitch in and help as well. And if you don't think TNA now is far and away better than TNA in 2010 when Hogan first came in you're crazy. Hogan did actually do some good in TNA whether people wanna admit it or not.

[Rammsteinmad]

It wouldn't surprise me if most of TNA's financial problems stem from Hogan being a part of the company.

[Mr. Nerfect]

The WWE putting Hogan in their video games would be pretty huge for them too.

[XL]

He's already in the video game.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Well, fuck that then.
