It was all a work. Russo and Hogan hatched a scheme for the World Championship picture between themselves. Jarrett was the one out of the loop. In an attempt to appeal the Internet crowd (you know, because that's what every wrestling fan does 24/7: scour the Internet for backstage news) Russo played off of Hogan's creative control clause and created the scenario at Bash at the Beach. All of this done with the excuse to phase Hogan out for a while and bring him back later to feud with the champion at that time with the logic being that no one had beaten him for his title (in storyline terms). The problem was that Russo went a little too far with the speech later that night and Hogan was upset with some of the things he said and stormed out of the building. He later sued for character defamation. It was a very real lawsuit considering Hogan didn't want to work for TNA while Russo was on the payroll (to be fair, this might just be an excuse) and the fact the lawsuit was still ongoing three years after WCW got bought out.

Mind you, I don't believe anyone here has spat on what Hogan has done for wrestling in general. Anyone who has a good mind for the business or been a fan for at least 15 or so years can tell you that Hogan was a positive influence on the WWE in the 80s playing a role that was just meant to be played by someone with his stature and his speaking style. Does he deserve recognition? Absolutely. The main beef here is that all of that was done in a time long ago that really doesn't matter anymore. The video game market also crashed in 1980s. Did we get hung up on that for the last score? The question asked now is what has Hogan done recently? Wrestling has done fine without him and the WWE experienced some of its greatest success not just without him but with him working for the competition. If you want to talk about people who have struck out, you have to start with Hogan as the whole basis of his heel turn was the fact that he was being booed and he needed something to bring his career out of the vegetative state it was in. Once the thrill of the heel turn passed, it was the same old stuff over and over again as he just wasn't adding anything positive to WCW. The man who could've done something about that (Goldberg anyone?) ended up getting screwed over by the kind of crap Hogan used to pull. How is hurting a valuable asset doing something good? Is Hogan a legend? Yes. No question. Is he someone we're supposed to worship just because he's Hogan? Hell, no.

Also keep in mind that Bret Hart was supposed to be the third nWo member but when that did not work out, Hogan jumped on the nWo ship. That sounds realistic to me and makes more sense then Bischoff randomly picking one of the top babyfaces in the company to turn heel. McMahon never wanted Hogan to be heel according to his book, even though Hogan suggested it a few times and it would make sense that Bischoff wouldn't want him to turn heel either since Hogan was a huge money maker as a babyface so turning Hogan heel would be a huge risk. But Hogan talked him into it and the rest is history. Common knowlege rocks. :y: Quote:
I know at first with just Hall and Nash it went really well but in due time, it would have died out and gotten boring. The nWo was missing something and that was a big name like Hulk Hogan. Rather anyone here likes it or not, Hulk Hogan is a huge name in wrestling and to have one of the greatest babyface's to turn heel was a very big deal and it helped get the nWo over. Now what has Hogan done in recent years? Entertain the fans. No, he has not helped move the business along but that's because he's retired. Any retired person just starts to relax and enjoy life and I think that is what Hogan does now in regards of wrestling. He still loves the business and the people still love him so he shows up every now and then in the wrestling world, does his thing and leaves. No one gets hurt or majorly affected by it. HBK and Orton are heels...heels for the most part are pretty much jobbers...and McMahon wants to send the people home happy and seeing heels win big matches isn't going to make the people happy. Now it's true heels do win big matches but the babyface ALWAYS gets payback...since Hogan is not interested in a full-time WWE career, it's best for him to wrestle his one match and then move on. ...Unless of course you guys want Hulk to wrestle every week...but if that happened, you'd all hate it like you did in 2002 and 2003. Again, the man wrestles ONCE a year....what's the big deal? |

Like I said brother, find me two sources from people in the business that disagree with Hogan and I might change my mind.

Quote:
Sorry, "brother," It's been demonstrated that Hogan's "story" is not reliable. That he's contradicted himself on top of being one of the most full of shit guys in the business. Nobody's going to bother trying to change your mind. they're just going to laugh at your football helmet. |

You really are retarded. Hogan has contradicted himself and your precious evidence. You don't really need more proof than that. And it comes from Hogan himself. As such, you should really be the one trying to come up with a real source that verifies this. But you won't. You have no evidence, and you can't find any. |

I was talking about Hogan's matches with HBK and Orton. HBK was a heel when he did his program with Hulk Hogan...that is how he lost to Hogan. Orton was also a heel when he wrestled Hogan...and that is how he lost to Hogan. Get it now brother?
Do you even know what kayfabe means? If Hogan was writing the book in kaybabe, it would have been just like that Hulk Hogan magazine that came out in spring of 2002 where everything was written in character. Hulk Hogan did not write his book in character. Hell, the book is not even about the character "Hulk Hogan". It's about the man who played the part of the character "Hulk Hogan". Get it now brother? |

Here's a fun fact! Hulk Hogan was a heel! Pretty much a Jobber, right? Ric Flair, one of the greatest champions of all time, used to be a heel AND was a champion as a heel. A Jobber Champion? No Wai! At one point in time The Four Horsemen were heels, and they were all chamions. Of course they were all on the undercard because they were heels. You know who The Undertaker beat when he was a heel? Hulk Hogan. Hogan jobbed to a jobber. Yea, I'm just some internet fan. I've been a fan for over 20 years I've seen the best of them all come and go. I've seen the drama, the passion, the blood, the sweat, the tears, and I've seen enough to tell you that you have no fucking idea how the industry works. |
You also didn't mention HHH. Constantly wins as a heel. JBL took numerous victories as a heel. The idea that "heels lose" is extremely flawed. It isn't even a given that a heel always wins dirty anymore.
|
Well, as of the last year or two, all heels are now jobbers, hence no long term heel champions.
|
since the HHH and JBL title reigns, as the pidgit mentioned
|
Yeah, that's been a current trend, but it's hardly a solid standard.

Michaels turned heel pretty much for that one match. After that he was face 30 seconds later.
Hogan winning did nothing for wrestling. Michaels winning would have, though not as much as if he wasn't a legend already. I'll go so far as to say this angle probably hurt more than it helped. Michaels had to turn heel, ha dto lose some momentum, just to play to the ego of a guy who didn't stick around. Did it devastate the wrestling world? No. Just saying it probably did more harm than good. Part timers winning does little to nothing for the company in general. Foley, at least, tends to make his opponents look good. And even Flair and Taker, who I'm not fond of winning, are doing more as regular workers (Even if Taker's is less frequent than Flair's). Even then, they often kill heat. |

And since Hogan was not going to work a long feud with HBK or Orton, it made sense for Hogan to win since they were only wrestling one time. Maybe if you guys would actually read what I type you'd get it. |

Actually, the Hell getting his commupance wouldn't have to come from Hogan, and the heel rub from beating Hogan would make the eventual downfall all the sweeter, thus making it better all around.

Yeah, and I don't care what you have to say either Kane Knight.
Anyway, as much as I am looking forward to reading RD's book, he was not around in WCW at the time so everything he says is still an opinion. |
I'm glad you don't care. You can return to your magical land of Oz where Hogan has never contradicted himself, and everything out of a wrestler's mouth is true.

I think the reason why you all seem to think I am a blind Hogan mark is because all of you act the same way about wrestlers you are entertained by so you naturally assume everyone is like that when it comes to their favorite wrestler but that is not the case with me. Like I said, no human is perfect. There's plenty of things Hogan did in his career that I thought were very egoistical and thought he should have done otherwise. Examples: 1. Wrestlemania IV - Instead of having some tournament, Hogan should have just dropped the belt to Savage in the main event. And then Savage could return the favor to Hulk at Wrestlemania V. 2. Wrestlemania VII - The final match should have been between Savage and Flair and it should have ended with Savage with the title. (....LOL...I bet all of you are gonna think I'm a Savage mark now huh? Trust me, I'm not.) 3. WrestleMania IX - Yes, I agree with the smarks on this one. Hulk Hogan was very selfish that day and took the spotlight away from Bret Hart and Yokozuna. He was wrong and should not have done that. In my opinion, Bret Hart should have won the match and then taken Hogan on at the King of the Ring and Hogan should have lost to Bret in a clean win. (Since Bret Hart did carry the torch after Hulk left and became a huge star in the WWF, Hulk should have passed the torch to him and it's a shame that match never happened. Even at age 10, I wanted to see those two wrestle and was disappointed when it did not happen.) Then Yokozuna should have won the King of the Ring and beat Bret at Summerslam and then Bret would get the belt back at Wrestlemania X. 4. Summerslam 2006 - I honestly thought Hulk would have done the job for Orton since Orton was the legend killer and it would make sense that Orton get the win. And I was surprised and even a little disappointed in Hulk for not jobbing. 5. Hulk Hogan's book - I read his book, then I read Stone Cold's book. All in a matter of a few weeks recently and I must say, Hulk's book is more entertaining and fun to read....but Steve Austin's book is more real in my opinion. It's kind of like the movies. You can either watch a movie that has some realism to it but is still very whacky and out of this world or a straight up realistic, "it could happen and has happened in this world" movie. He also seemed like the only thing he was interested in was making money and it was all about money with him whereas Austin seemed to have a true passion for the business. I have no doubt Hogan does too but it seemed like it was about making money first, wrestling second. With Austin it was the only way around. He talked about making money too but not nearly as much as Hogan did and with Austin it was his passions first, money second. While I don't believe everything Hulk wrote, I do believe he did write the book and that some of what he said was true and not all of it was false. Again, shades of gray. Many of you guys seem to have a very black and white view point of the world. |

The reason I think that you're a blind Hogan Mark is that you eschew reason and sense to fellate Hogan. Quote:
I believe in black and white. Logic and non. Proof and non. You have provided proof only in the sense that Hogan claimed it. But my attention span and memory tell me Hogan's said the opposite on TV. This casts dispersions on his story. Logic also disctates that since he's been full of shit in the past, taking his word on the matter doesn't make any sense. It's unreasonable. There may be a reasonable argument in defense of Hogan, but you have not demonstrated it. On the other hand, several people have demonstrated that there IS a reasonable, a well thought out rebuttal to your statements. You've hidden behind arghuments about how great the NWO was, which I don't remember anyone contesting. And his ingluence in the past being justification for him hurting the business in the present. These are markish arguments. And pretty blind. And hence, you fall into the "unreasonable" colour scheme. Reason has trumped you. And I'm not saying myself, because I'd rather mock you than continue to argue with you over something you're so clearly oblivious to, but there have been many good arguments. And none of them, NONE of them...Were yours. |

I don't give a damn about rep points or if I have a high post count or not and don't think having a high post count on an internet message board is something worth bragging about, I don't live on this board and I have actual friends who I actually talk to. 5. I don't live on boards like these. I visit them yes and I say what I gotta say and then I leave and come back when I feel like it but I will never be a regular like all of you or be worried about my rep points or be concerned with what my post count is.

As much as I enjoy watching people try to vindicate being the "bigger man" and laughing at the majorty there's just one thing I gotta say...
So if you're so much better than us why are you sinking down to our level? Does it make you feel good about yourself? Does it get you high? Does it make you feel better than you really are? Do you get a kick out of seeing the commoners scurry about? Seriously, if you believe you're so much better than everyone else here, then leave. If we're all teenagers, and you're on the same message board, that makes you a pedophile. PEDOPHILE!!!! |

Oddly enough, we're not speaking up about some random comment. Possibly because we believe Venis is a homo, or possibly becausee we don't give a shit. Besides, wrestling is a gay passtime.

They wouldn't like him. You can't be openly gay in wrestling. It's like Batman, or any other gay trend. As long as it's "subtle," it's gay culturally phenomenal. If it's overt, they'll turn on you like smarks on Jericho when he comes back and endorses John Cena as the best wrestler ever.
