If Hulk Hogan's body broke at WrestleMania 23
 

trying to scoop slam Big Show, how would you react?

Like if it left him paralyzed for life

I might die of laughter. Also, I would more than likely throw some kind of "Ding Dong Hogan Gone!" themed party. Then I would realise that his face and image would never be taken off WWE TV and I would stop watching WWE all together.

TOVO Fact: Naitch has inspired Tovo to potentially order WrestleMania.

I am going to your party if that happens

I'd wouldn't feel sympathetic because he'd be his usual stupid Hogan self, but it'd still suck for the guy.

he'd still have big show job after

:nono: Hogan

See The One's post.

Well, duh, that's a given. That's not what we're asking though.

nice

Why would I laugh at someone being near killed?

Bottom line is most of us wouldn't be watching wrestling had it not been for Hulk Hogan so despite his faults, I respect him for bringing the business to mainstream.

yeah, and they would probaly make sabu job for him

You take shit too seriously.

Why would you laugh at someone being nearly killed? I don't know, but go on YouTube or KillSomeTime and see dozens of videos of people being mauled, crippled, or killed and people laugh at it. It's just fact.

Also I can 100% honestly say I started watching wrestling because of Ric Flair in NWA. Hulk Hogan actually kept me from watching WWE for a long time. So I can continue to hate him to this day, and when he is crippled, I can laugh.

TOVO Fact: In the 80's Tovo watched the NWA and barely any WWE.

:y:

where is your tovo fact, I need those facts

Yeah, I didn't start watching wrestling full time because of Hogan. Not taking anything away from him.

Well, I started [and kept] watching wrestling because of Hogan. Just like MANY, MANY others. If that differs from anyone else on the board, great. But, I'd never laugh at someone's misfortune in this business - especially being involved in it myself - when it comes to an injury, especially a very serious one.

Pretty stupid reason to laugh at someone getting paralyzed, tbh.

I would never wish paralysis on the guy. Maybe a pulled hamstring or quadricep on the way into the ring, or maybe when he's coming in for the Leg Drop. That'd be entertaining shit.

I would cry

I'd laugh until I realized how serious it was, then go "that sucks." But I wouldn't be heartbroken over it by any shot.

Wooooo!!

id rather see him get knocked the fuck out by bigshow..especially since Hogan was meant to win. Imagine Hogan lyng in the middle of the ring n Bigshow just lookng at him sayng "sorry"

if he screwed up while doing it but didn't get injured it would be a laugh

but if he actually got permanently injured i woudln't laugh

I can say without a doubt that I did not start watching wrestling because of Hogan. I actually started watching WCW in the 90s and liked Steamboat and the Steiners.

I started watching WWF because of Undertaker. He was cool. Then there was Jake Roberts. That's why I started watching wrestling. I didn't care about Hogan until he turned into HOllywood Hogan in the NwO.

Now if he were to get paralyzed I woudn't laugh no. But I'd think it would be pretty messed up. Specially if it was because he did his leg drop.

:roll:

I think he's trying to say that most of sports entertainment wouldn't be what it is without Hogan's influence and popularity.

You are a tool.

That's funny coming from you.

JAMES FUCKING STEELE

Sorry but i think the "its cool to hate hogan" bandwagon needs to topple over and explode simpsons style. The way some people on here act its as if he personally wronged them, creative control was written into his contract..deal with it.

I know a lot of people are tired of seeing him have "One More" matches, but most people here don't hate Hogan. IF I am wrong and there is a huge banwagon, than let me state I feel proud to have build it out of a Radio-Flyer back in 1986. Has Hogan personally wronged me? Yes! He bored me, he forced me to watch him when what I really wanted to see was good wrestling, and he is someone who over the course of the past decade has hurt and made a mockery of an industry which not only do I love, I still have life long injuries from. And as a person I find him to be distasteful. He owes everything he has to the professional wrestling industry. Countless people laying down for him, years of being the top promoted man, and he walks around acting like his shit doesn't stink and that the entire industry is around because of him. WRONG. Did his presence shape things? Yeah, but it didn't have to be him. He was popular because of Rocky III, but ultimately if McMahon hadn't capitolized on it, he would have been a 2-time AWA Champ who disappears into the history books like Nick Bockwinkle. WrestleMania could have had anyone team with Mr. T to take on Piper and it would have sold. From there Hogan's biggest drawing factor has been that he just happened to be the top dog when WrestleMania came around. He is a worthless wrestler, a terrible performer, and a second rate man. Charismatic? Unquestionably...but than again so was Koko B. Ware. His entire career is based off a lucky break, and people who didn't live through the Hogan years seem to think that Hogan was all there was or could have been, there were dozen of guys just as good if not better suited to carry the ball Hogan had such a firm grip on...he just manipulated his way through life. His life right now is a testament to how far you can go if you only look out for yourself and have your own head up your ass.

TOVO Fact: Tovo had the opportunity to meet Hogan, but he decided not to.

Doesn't really matter if it was a lucky break or not, the fact is he was a hated heel for a good while then rocky 3 just catapulted him further along, he was popular in the AWA then it skyrocketed when he came back to wwf.

Noone can say that other people would have done a better job as things didn't go that way, its all would have and could have speculation.


wwe has a roundtable discussion up on hogan as well which you can watch for free here

I'd laugh. Not because I wish harm, but because he's getting what anyone too stupid to know when to quit eventually gets.

Then I'd probably feel shitty about it.

He can't have his shit broken, he's the immortal Hulk hogan, look at all those guys that kick the ever living shit out of him for like 10 minutes and then all he has to do is Hulk up and win. Come on, Hogan will live longer than all of us put together!

:shifty:

I really wouldn't care. Serves the guy right for not stepping out of the spotlight. I wouldn't get joy out of him being crippled, but it's a little sad that I'd rather him actually fail at body slamming Show than succeeding and following up with a Leg Drop.

Heres a better scenario then, Hogan tries a scoop slam but topples backwards, Show ends up on top stunned, the ref counts show is too heavy for Hogan to kick out and Show wins.

That would crack me up.

After reading this, I'm now convinced Hogan would no sell everything and HULK UP BROTHER!!!

Austin > Hogan
He turned me into a fan, and he kept me a fan. And all the guys he put over made me keep watching.
Austin came along and saved wrestling and brought it BACK to the mainstream, a feat perhaps more impressive than Hogan initially doing so. More importantly, he did it on his own merit and he got big because of who he was and what he did. Austin-mania was born from Austin and the fans and came from the ground up. Hulkamania was a genius creation that was pushed on people. Hogan was just a role of a genius creation.

Vince and the WWF built Hogan.
Austin saved and rebuilt Vince and the WWF.
