Interesting Hogan comments....
 
I was just reading the Toronto Sun and they were basically hyping up Summerslam. But their were some interesting comments by Hulk Hogan in it

In regards to him using his backstage influence in matches:

"I have always wanted to be a team player and I have gone along with some bad scripts ideas. For example, I was on a major role in WWF when they told me to drop the belt to the Warrior at Wrestlemania. I did not think it was a good idea but I went along with. By the time I came back from shooting a movie they were begging me to take the title back.

"In WCW, Vince Russo was pushing the young blood, Billy Kidman beat me three weeks in a row and that could have turned into a major disaster but I went along with it"

On whether he prefers to be a face or a heel:

"I prefer to be a face because that's what I have been most of my career. It was really hard on my kids when people shouted "You suck, Hogan". It was fun being a heel as it was something different.

I did like the Billy Kidman feud however.

PureHatred 08-21-2005 02:01 PM

Hogan is an idiot.

Jaton 08-21-2005 02:07 PM

I don't remember the Kidman feud, but I remember they touched on that subject in Death of WCW. They said that even though Hogan jobbed to him, he didn't exactly put him over.

JH 08-21-2005 02:15 PM

yea and i'm sure they did'nt beg him to take the wwf title back because it's pretty damn obviuous warrior was a draw back then

Didn't they job Warrior to Sgt Slaughter ? How long did Warrior have the belt anyway.

PullMyFinger 08-21-2005 02:20 PM

I liked that feud as well. Yeah, even though Kidman beat Hogan, he wasn't put over at all. Kinda like what WWE does today, after that match up, he was in a viagra on a pole match up.

Angelina2K 08-21-2005 02:22 PM

Someone's a little full of themseleves aren't they. I hope HBK kicks his ass


"You suck, Hogan"

Plus not only that but at the New Blood Rising (??) ppv Hogan did the run in during Kidman/Vampiro and made him his bitch. Then Horace stole Torrie from him, some stupid shit there.

JH 08-21-2005 02:24 PM

warrior had it 10 months so i think it's kinda obvious he was a draw

Pepsi Man 08-21-2005 02:50 PM

Hulk Hogan is the man.

I found that comment funny to. I think that's Hogan's ego talking to be honest.

I don't know if he was a draw or not but just because someone has the title for a long period of time doesn't necessarily mean he is a draw.

Diesel is a perfect example of that.

Savio 08-21-2005 02:57 PM

I remember the [kidman] feud I was wondering why they had kidman going over. I even almost caught a T-shirt that kidman threw in to the crowd.

Nah he was a pretty good draw, not at Hogan's level of course but then again not many were.

HHH is a perfect example of that.

Fixed.

Destor 08-21-2005 04:58 PM

Since The Rock left HHH is the only draw they have, with out H raw sux. Have you seen Raw lately?

KayfabeMan 08-21-2005 05:42 PM

Warrior wasn't a major draw because he wasn't capable enough of holding the Title [wrestling wise], and because WWF was in such a rush to put the belt on him, they forgot to have any heels lined up to work with him.

He had those couple of small programs, but they didn't build up any major / serious heels that could face him - thus Slaughter making the turn and being the turnover Champion to get the belt back on Hogan. They knew that with Warrior, they didn't have any credible opponents for him to be a draw against [like Hogan did with Piper, Orndorff, etc.] - but with Hogan, it didn't matter, as people were coming to see him, not really caring who he was facing.

The Undertaker wound up with the belt in another attempt to build up a desperately needed heel, as they were doing with Flair at the time. Kinda right place, right time.

HOWEVER, Warrior was a big merchandise mover, and without a doubt for a short time he was a draw. He still remains a major merchandise machine, but isn't the crossover type star or as big of a merchandising asset that Hogan is.

Have you seen Raw with HHH on it?It seriously is no better.

I'd rather have the show concentrating on Kurt Angle, Hulk Hogan and HBK than Triple H any day of the week.

Especially not if he had anything to say about it.

Anyone notice there's no Terry Bollea anymore?

So would I, but mostly because Angle and Michaels are in there.

Every now and again the Terry personality surfaces, Hulk's kind of Gou'ald-ish in that respect.

That would explain why he keeps shouting "Kree!" at the Ref.

Morgan 08-22-2005 01:00 AM

Hulk Points finger:

CROWD: KREE!!!

Kane Knight 08-22-2005 01:03 AM

That would explain why they pop for him. 'Specially those weak-Willed, primitive Canadians. ;)

JBL is a perfect example of that.

Really fixed

I'm willing to bet "Hogan" stands infront of a mirror each day posing and complimenting himself while saying Brother!

Jason Cage 08-22-2005 10:04 AM

The way the Hogan/HBK match ended last night is far worse than any of the storylines he mentioned combined. Apperantly the boot is like 3 rock bottoms through 4 stacked flaming tables.
