- Hulk Hogan has turned down AAA's offer to work the July 15th TripleMania show in Mexico. Even though AAA has met the six figure asking price that Hogan was asking for, he still turned them down and told them that he isn't doing anything at all this summer. AAA is still continuing to make a play for Paul Wight for TripleMania.
- Recently Hogan has been in talks with Jeff Jarrett as well but nothing has come to terms as Hogan's asking price is way too high. Hogan was recently paid $75,000 just to do an autograph signing.

*sigh* This is very frustrating. I'm tired of reading nonsense like this. Enough is enough. It's been building up for a long time now. For the first time ever, the man who plays the part of a character I've loved my whole life is going to become just another victim to one of my infamous long online rants. I used to blindly and ignorantly defend every thing he did, but no more. He's been really making me angry in the past year. I must say, even though I am a big fan of the character Terry Bolea plays, I am not a big fan of Terry Bolea and don't always agree with the things he does.
For starters, he should have jobbed to Randy Orton at Summerslam last year. Randy Orton is the Legend Killer. It's a good gimmick and having him defeat Hulk Hogan would have really put him over. But then again, Mark Calaway should have jobbed to Randy Orton too. I'm not an Orton fan but that doesn't take away from the fact that Orton is a young man and the future of wrestling and since he is the legend killer, he needs legends to put him over and it's selfish for guys like Bolea and Calaway not to put Orton over.
Then I recall weeks ago reading that Terry Bolea was charging fans like 150 for autographs and 250 for an autographed belt.
And then I remember reading that Terry Bolea was on the Bubba the Love Sponge Show, cursing like Joe Pesci in Goodfellas and saying he "didn't give a fuck" if people didn't like some song his daughter sang or something like that and when I read that, I was disappointed in him for talking that way.
And then in that prank call that was posted in my Hogan thread a while back where Bolea calls some guy "dawg" was just stupid and makes me think he's going through a mid-life crisis. I mocked Randy Savage for being in his 50's and acting like a gangster and now Bolea is doing the same it sounds like.
Even in Terry Bolea's book, all he talks about is money. That really annoyed me a few weeks ago when I read the book and then the back cover of the book, all he does is talk about how great he is. And in the actual book, he appeared to be only interested in making money. He became a wrestler to make money, he quit wrestling because he wasn't making enough and then he got back into it when he was told he could make a lot if he worked for McMahon. The whole book was just about money, money, money, money. And he still only cares about money. At this point in his career, he doesn't need freaking money. He and his family are set for life. Why does he care so much about money? What else does he need that he doesn't already have? There are people in the world starving and he's probably riding about in his boat that has paintings of himself all over it.
While I'm ranting about him, I also wanna say what he did at Wrestlemania 9 was very, very selfish. And him refusing to job to Bret Hart and then lying about it in his book was wrong too.
And "Hogan Knows Best" is one of the dumbest shows I've ever seen and comes across as being more staged then pro wrestling. I've only watched one episode and that was enough.
And I can't believe Terry Bolea is being considered for Father of the Year all for whoring out his daughter. Hell, I doubt Bolea will even show up for the event unless he's given money first.
I'm sure if you asked Hulk Hogan what his favorite match is, he'd probably tell you the Andre the Giant match at Wrestlemania III. But if you asked Terry Bolea, he'd most likely say the match where he made the most money.
Like I've said for five years on here and Rajah, I'm not a fan of Terry Bolea. I'm a fan of the character he plays. Terry Bolea is a selfish, money hog and for years it's been a dream to meet the man who played that role but I'm sure if I ever did, I'd have to spend two of my paychecks just to get a picture from twenty years ago that has his name on it. Even Terry Bolea admits that the Hulk Hogan character he plays brings out the best in him and that says a lot about the kind of person Terry Bolea is if a character brings out the best in him. But I have no doubt Bolea does have his good side....if he's being paid enough to show that good side that is.
I'll always love the Hulk Hogan character and will always mark out when he comes out to the ring with the Real American music all while wearing the red and yellow. I'll always have found memories of that character and he'll always have a special place in my heart. And whenever I talk about characters from my childhood that I really loved, Hulk Hogan's name will always be mentioned.
But Terry Bolea can stick it, brother.
