He earned some points on this quotes about Ric Flair

“Ric Flair has had hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of one-hour matches. I’ve never had one. He’s 10 times better than I am. I mean ... it’s a no-brainer. I’ve got a certain thing that works, and I’ve got different varieties of it. I used to joke, ‘I’ve got Plan A, B, C and D. Which match do you wanna do?’ And, you know, there’s millions of ways to have matches with millions of wrestlers. But Ric’s just so much better. Some people point to me and go, ‘Oh my God, you changed the business, you did this, you did that.’ But ‘No,’ I said, ‘You guys, you mean the guy next to me: Ric Flair.’ ”

Then Hogan got handed a sack of money for just showing up somewhere.

Hogan can say that now because he's a multi-millioniare and pretty much got every single thing out of the business, even if it was at the expense of other wrestlers.

The real QUESTION, is if Hogan would have made this admission 25 years ago?

It's the same thing with Triple H these days. Sure, the guy praises The Rock, Bret Hart, etc., nowadays, and also does the 'job' when necessary, but it boils down to the same thing.

Would he have done this 15 years ago?

I think the answer is obvious.

The true test of a man is not when things have gone their way. Anyone can say or do nice things at that time. The true test of a man, and the true test of a man's character, is how they act and what they say during tough times.

If he would have, we would have gotten Flair vs Hogan at WM8

Flair is the only true GOAT and Im glad Hogan knows it.

If Flair was 100% healthy, I have no doubt in my mind Hogan would not have said that publicly.... It's all about image, brother....

This just summed up my thoughts so well I figure I might as well quote it verbatim.

Hogan is the ultimate scrotum bather now it makes no difference. In 1994-1999 he beat Flair until the canvas was worn out to make money for himself and constantly undermined him. Flair quit the WCW booking committee in 1995 because Hogan refused to give a single inch.

Hogan said Ric Flair was the greatest of all time in 2002 as well. During an interview on TSN Off the Record.

He also said no one will ever be as big as Hulk Hogan. But he did say personally that Flair is the greatest.

Remember back in 2005 when Hulk Hogan said he'd "make that kid" in reference to Shawn Michaels or something?

First off,

HB2K - thanks bro.

Secondly - JimmyMess - Hogan was already on top of the world in 2002 and was already a multi-millionaire, etc. His "spot" was in no way under threat in 2002. Hence - Hogan jobbing to Rocky, Angle, Taker, HHH, Lesnar, etc, during that year.

There's a reason why Hogan did and said these things in 2002 as opposed to say 1995.

Wonder who's liver would win in a match Flair or Jake the Snake or Scott Hall?

Hogan was constantly pulling rank after that too though. I'm sure I remember Vince being chosen for his WrestleMania XIX opponent because Hogan didn't want to lose to anybody. That might just be my own canon though. But then there was Michaels at SummerSlam '05, Orton at SummerSlam '06 (so much for the Legend Killer). He also didn't want to lose to Austin at Mania X-8.

I'm genuinely surprised that they managed to get the absolutely shit-kicking at the hands of Brock out of him.

That's true, but he didn't need to show up to work either.

In a "Hell in the Blood Cell" match, I'd give it to Jake. He'd have Flair & Hall's bitch-ass livers tapping the F out in about 30 seconds

No way, Scott Halls liver would march to the ring sipping a bottle of codeine syrup. That would make him invincible.

That was a some flim-flammery from the Vin-Man/Heyman, telling Hogan they were building Brock up as a monster so Hogan could challenge him at Survivor Series in MSG.

Hahaha, I don't remember that story. It's not very often that Hogan gets outworked. Amazing. Hey, you've got to get those results out of Hogan somehow.

Hogan will job as long as he gets his heat back, brother. I mean, he even made WCW spend a fortune bringing in Warrior just so he could get his win back.

I was 9 years old and had only been watching wrestling for about 6 months when Halloween Havoc 1998 happened. My grandfather had taped the PPV for me and within minutes of that match starting I decided to just fast forward to the finish.

Considering this was at a time when I was obsessed with WCW and ate up almost everything they were putting out, it takes some doing that not even I could sit through that match during my infancy as a fan.
