Book WWE and WCW without Hogan.
 

With WWE distancing themselves from Hogan and all I thought a thread rebooking history without Hogan might be fun.

What if Hogan said some rscist stuff before he became The Hulkster? Who would have been the big draw of the 80s, Who would have formed the nWo? Does wrestling become as big as it did without Hogan?

Vkm is a third generation promoter with vision. If not hogan they put another cartoonish guy in his place still attempt rock and wrestling and pay per view.


Wcw on the other hand if there is no hogan stays a dingy southern promotion and stays alive while not turning profit cause ted turner had a soft spot for the business.

In terms of the NWO, you could've easily slotted Savage into Hogan's role. Obviously it wouldn't have carried the same weight, created the same buzz, etc. However, Savage was very much WWE guy and turning his back on wcw to join the outsiders makes sense.

Well if Hogan wasn't there in the 80s, Randy probably becomes a bigger star with multiple World titles. Hogan held the title from 84 to 88 so guys like Warrior, Savage, Sgt.Slaughter, Andre could all have many more titles than now.

Macho Man for the 80s and probably Sting for the nWo since he was the original guy picked as the mysterious 3rd member before Hogan got involved in the plans.

Possible wrestling could have been just as huge in the 80s with Macho or someone else as the mega star although all depends on if Vince could still pull off an equivalent "Hulkamania" type phenomenon. Even if he couldn't, still possible wrestling ends up as a huge thing but instead of the early 80s, it happens much later and with someone else (ex. Stone Cold in the 90s).

Bob Backlund could have kept the title another 4 years and had a 9 year reign as WWF champion.

Wasn't Nick Bockwinkel interested in the WWe when Hogan first showed up?

We may have gotten a series of macho vs perfect matches for the world title without the title hog in the way

You know who really suffers if theres no hogan is brutus beefcake

And no one would have seen them because wrestling wouldn't have been the huge mainstream attraction "title hog" made it.

Hollywood HOGan

Hollywood Hoggin' the belt.

WWF would have likely just picked a new guy with a great physique. Maybe a guy like Lex Luger gets to WWF sooner. Warrior maybe gets a quicker push.

I swear to all fuck these nimrods like pettengill up there believe pro wrestling never existed before thunderlips. As if it wasn't an attraction for 100 fucking years before hogan. They are like talking to those stupid fucks who believe in creation and hogan plays jesus. They cant see evolution in front of them. In wwf fans estimation the nwa never existed because hogan didnt go there. If it was all hogan how come the awa didnt take over as the top outfit and dominate wrestling when they had him?

His receding hairline isnt a spoiler without a pic in the bandana first. You are not a real american

It is likely the industry wouldn't have received the same impact with someone other than Hogan as the big face and heel of each company through two boom periods.

Sure they could've pushed someone else into his spot both times, however, Hogan was in that spot for a reason, and thinking that you could've put any Joe Schmoe in his position and still create the same results and impact is a bit daft.

That hurt my feelings.

I will let you know when I give a fuck, standby

You are one tough hombre.

Non jew as well

He's the biggest draw in wrestling history. Responsible for the biggest boom in wrestling history which was responsible for PPV and wrestling becoming a major mainstream attraction as opposed to just being a popular niche. It didn't happen with AWA because Vince was smart enough to market him right and build the perfect storm.

Between this Hogan denial and your blatant racism/sexism, you're really making a name for yourself here in the wrong way.

So he is the draw he was because of vince. Thanks for proving my point numbnuts

Between your revisionist history memory and your pedophilia, your name is quite tarnished

lol Holy shit...

If you have evidence of my pedophilia, you are morally obligated to release that evidence now or consider yourself an accomplice. Please make your choice now.

I saw the cholororm and lollipops on your nightstand

Those could be for anything.

Spoken like a true chester

Well if you haven't gone to the police with this information, I'm going to have to assume you support the act of raping children. That's the only other option. I'm just gonna have to add that to your other deplorable traits.

Circumstantial evidence I cant do nothing with

So you're saying your claims of my pedophilia wouldn't hold up in court.

Accusations from an internet warrior always hold up in court, son.

I could likely only prove conclusively that you don't know the first thing about wrestling . Punishable by death

I believe I've won this case! Wooo! Hope you're not underage because I just made you my bitch!

You lost the case dude, hogan was made by vince not vice versa, the perfect storm was vince hot hulk. Count the first goes to norman

Read in an interview from 2013 that Scott Hall did and he said him and Nash tried to get Brett Hart to be the third man, and were telling him how chill WCW was compared to WWF but he wasn't interested. Hogan was supposedly not even there at the beginning of the match and Bascoph said Sting would be sent out if Hogan didn't make it.
