Hogan injured? SummerSlam main event in doubt...

[NeanderCarl]

Apparently, the Hogan vs Orton match at SummerSlam may be off due to a Hulkster injury.

But will anybody care?

And if this is true, where does this leave Orton at the PPV?

[Arnold HamNegger]

In Brooke. Seriously, though...I don't know. This story line was horrible IMO, so I could care less. Between the Orton chin lock/rest holds and Hogan being Hogan, it had the potential of being the worst match in recent memory.

God forbid though, if Hogan would actually play into Orton injuring him before the match in a brawl type situation or something and give him the rub.

2 out of 3 falls vs Angle. 1st - WWE rules, 2nd - Submission, 3rd - ECW rules.

As much as I hate Orton, that match would make me :drool:

[Team Sheep]

Probably happen at Wrestlemania 23 now, unless it's all a work (don't see why it would be though.)

[NeanderCarl]

You never know with Hogan. He lives the lie.

But there really wouldn't be any point in this being a work. Except maybe to give Hogan an "I was injured" excuse should the match go ahead and "The Legend Killer" win at SummerSlam.

[Vermaat]

This sucks, I was looking forward to the match. orton is one of the best young superstars and hogan is a classic.

[addy2hotty]

When Brooke is WWE Cruiserweight Champion, will Hulk call himself Hogan Classic?

[Volare]

and hogan should stay that way... this guy makes more returns than Michael Jackson touches kids

[Londoner]

vermaat, are you just deliberately being stupid now?

Anyway, if this is true, I don't really care tbh. Maybe they'll move Orton up to the WWE title match and build it as though Summerslam was where he won his first World title. Would be more interesting than Cena/Edge and could be the beginning of a Cena/Orton feud.

[Volare]

meh..killing the legend of the chain gang?? (j/k I know what your sayin.)

[Volchok]

Hogan is just faking a injury because they decided that Orton was going to go over Hogan.

Wouldn't surprise me one bit.

Announcer: Next week on Hogan Knows Best: Tragedy strikes the Hogan homestead...

(Go to shot of Hogan falling down stairs in slow motion, then to Brooke.)

Brooke: DAAADDYYYY!!!

(Flash to Nick)

Nick: NOOO! DAD!

(Flash to Hogan laying on the floor.)

Hogan: Call 911!

Announcer: Will the Hulkster pull through?

(Flash to hospital room.)

Doctor: WE'RE LOSING HIM!

Announcer: Tune in next week!

[Mr. Nerfect]

LMAO! :lol:

I should probably try and show compassion for the guy, I have nothing personal against him, after all, but anything that keeps Hogan off my TV makes me happy.

They should probably just have Randy Orton declared the winner via forfeit at Summerslam, which makes room for another match. You know, with guys who are actually on the active roster. Why the fuck they aren't having a Spirit Squad vs. Paul London & Brian Kendrick match is beyond me.

Summerslam was shaping up to be pure shit. Orton vs. Hogan? Fuck that. DX vs. The McMahons? Don't give two fucks. Ric Flair vs. Mick Foley? I can tolerate this, but Ric Flair has bored me for the last few years. The Undertaker vs. The Great Khali. Fuck no! Edge vs. John Cena? Again?

Get some quality into this show. If that means adding Randy Orton to the WWE Championship match and making it a Triple Threat (my favourite idea once Orton has been declared winner via forfeit over Hogan), then so be it. I must say, I love the idea of a Randy Orton vs. Kurt Angle match, with Angle going over, giving ECW a big rub, and getting his Vengeance win back. I would much rather see the undercard guys get on the show, but that is extremly unlikely.

So yeah, Summerslam will likely be:

WWE Championship- Title can change hands on a DQ
Edge vs. John Cena

World Championship
King Booker vs. Batista

ECW Championship
Big Show vs. Rob Van Dam (Sabu seems more and more likely, but I still think it will be RVD)

Tag Team Match
DX vs. The McMahons

Last Man Standing Match
The Great Khali vs. The Undertaker

WWE vs. ECW Match
Randy Orton vs. Kurt Angle

Grudge Match
Rey Mysterio vs. Chavo Guerrero

Hardcore Match
Ric Flair vs. Mick Foley

Triple Threat Match for the WWE United States Championship
Finlay vs. William Regal vs. Bobby Lashley

[Londoner]

Hogan is just faking a injury because they decided that Orton was going to go over Hogan.

:y:

I think you maybe right about that.

[KingofOldSchool]

Nooooo

Hogan has creative control, so he would just axe that idea.

I think he's ego has gotten so big that he's decided to only work Wrestlemanias.

[Londoner]

But he worked at Summerslam last year. I thought he decided to only work Summerslams.

[KingofOldSchool]

Well ya know once he decided to do the Pokemon convention, he felt like he's above Summerslam now.

[NeanderCarl]

The more I think about it, the more I think it's just Hogan playing his usual games. He will be at SummerSlam, IMO. And if he does do the job, this so-called injury will come into the equation as part of the match.

[Skippord]

How the fuck did he injure himself

[Skippord]

Oh getting off his couch I see

[D Mac]

I was acctually wanting to see another Rock/Hogan like match and this was my only hope. :(

[Skippord]

Except Orton sucks and the Rock doesnt

[Drakul]

Oh getting off his couch I see
Not just any couch... it was his new couch!

I don't see why we needed to know it was new.

[mike627]

:y:

I think you maybe right about that. Randy is right typical Hogan.:nono:

[D Mac]

Except Orton sucks and the Rock doesnt

Nah Orton rules. ST. LOUIS MO Now if he was from, say, Colorado. Yeah then he would suck.

[Skippord]

Lashley would totally pwn him

[Blitz]

Wauit wtf is going on dunno

[Skippord]

Blitz is Thrashed

[Blitz]

Lashley would totally pwn him
HE WOULD NOT

He would

If the match doesn't happen I couldn't care less.
If it happens I'll shit my pants if Orton goes over.

[LoDownM]

What, you have a problem with people from Colorado?

[St. Jimmy]

lol. Hogan botches life.

[Volare]

Another job for McMahonism...Curing the handicapped

[Rammsteinmad]

Fuck Hogan. Seriously, why is he even on the card in the first place? He makes one appearance last year at Summerslam and goes over Michaels (not that either one needs to be put over, but what's the point in beating someone and leaving?), and then out of the blue he's back for this Summerslam and set to beat Orton (again, what's the point?)... Like someone else said, he's probably faking it because he heard Orton would go over.

[D Mac]

They think Hogan still draws.

[.44 Magdalene]

HE STILL DRAWS TO ME, DAMMIT

[The One]

I hope he has complications in surgery and dies. Sounds harsh I know, and normally I think about their friends and family who would be affected by such an event before I say it...but I have seen Hogan's family and hope they all die too. As for his friends...uh...sorry...to uh...Mean Gene?

[Afterlife]

I just have mu fongers crossed that it keeps him out thru the ppv. I really never wanted this match to happen, and I'm wishing upon a star that my want comes tru.

[KingofOldSchool]

Then he'd just hold down Owen Hart, Davey Boy, Eddie, and hold down Perfect yet again in heaven.

Then again I'd think he'd refuse to even go to heaven, because God won't share his room with Hogan.

And of course if Hogan ain't headlining, he ain't workin. Even for God.

[The One]

Nah, I am pretty sure God would smack Hogan down to hell after few thousand "Watcha Gonna Do's."

Then the devil could have fun making Hogan job cleanly until the end of time. Muahahahahahahahahahaha!

Man I hope some of those make it on YouTube.

[Afterlife]

Does Hell have a big YouTube output?

[The One]

No but I have to imagine that if Hogan was jobbing non stop for all time a couple of them would slip on to the internet.

[Afterlife]

Valid point.

[Rammsteinmad]

Damn I'd love to see what someone said on that markout thread where Orton would take the big boot/leg drop etc and no sell it. That'd be the most awesome thing ever.

[Kane Knight]

Hogan said he can walk fine and shit, but can't stand up or sit down. I don't see why he can't compete. He doesn't need to get up, if he finishes with the Big Boot. It's not like Hogan goes down in matches except when he hits the leg drop.

[Sadistic]

Because you buy the PPV and it makes them money.

:love: I'd give you the queerest hug ever right now for saying that.

[Rammsteinmad]

Nah... I watch the free ones on Sky Sports. If I gotta pay for it I don't bother.

Do you think WWE look at DVD sales? :shifty:

Slip? Warrior would sell his soul...

...Or would, if he didn't already...

I see.

[NeanderCarl]

Well, it's back on now, obviously. Now I'm convinced it was a work. I saw it reported somewhere that the Raw that Hogan missed was a "Drug Test" Raw. Co-ink-i-dinks?

[Mr. Nerfect]

I'm still praying that they write Hogan out of Summerslam. Put Finlay vs. William Regal vs. Bobby Lashley on there instead.

On WWE.com, they have this thing that says Orton will call out Hogan on RAW. I'm hoping that Hogan comes out and then someone like Umaga runs out and attacks Hogan, putting him out of the match. Hogan looks like a face, Orton looks like a heel, whoever puts Hogan out looks great, the match is still off. Everybody wins.

Aww c'mon...Paul Heyman sends out his enforcers to do it. Hogan gets injected with a lethal dose of DOUG BASHAM. THEN everybody wins. ;)

PAUL HEYMAN: Did you take your DOUG BASHAM, brother?

HOGAN: Dammit, dude! It was you that replaced my vitamins with DOUG BASHAM, brother. That's the only thing which can destroy Hulkamania, brother.

*Doug Basham gets monster push after revealing it was also him which raised the briefcase when Stone Cold Steve Austin tried to climb the ladder.*

[Impact!]

Well now we know why Kid Kash and Matt Hardy got suspended, they had to many doses of DOUG BASHAM.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Kevin Nash didn't hurt his neck. He's just become so dependant on DOUG BASHAM that he can't survive in TNA for long.

Actually, this gives me an idea. The WWE should have some undercard guy (I'm actually thinking Eugene, Funaki, Scotty 2 Hotty or Rob Conway at this point) go around and start pushing talent down stairs, hitting them in the back of the knee with a crowbar, etc.

I mean, if I were a jobber in the WWE, I'd want to eliminate some of the higher-ranked superstars. Sort of make it like a wrestling "serial killer", clearing the path for their own agenda. Plus it would give Gregory Helms a reason to bring out my often suggested "Sherlock Helms" character. Maybe have he be a victim of the "sports entertainment slasher", which allows him to sit on the shelf as Cruiserweight Champion, so they don't have to (God forbid) write anything for him?

This is probably not a good thing to bring up, but when Rikishi was revealed as the guy who ran over Stone Cold Steve Austin, it partially worked for me, because it would make sense that a guy on the verge of breaking out as a singles star would hurt a main eventer so that he can move on up and earn the big bucks.

Seriously, a pissed off Paul London & Brian Kendrick orchestrating the injuries of Superstars = ratings.

[Impact!]

I'd Rather have Funaki do that. I mean c'mon that'd be awesome. FUNAKI NUMBA ONE ATTACKA
