I would love to see Orton go over. I almost got sick when Orton beat Angle at Vengeance, but the same would happen if Hogan beat Orton. That's how much I dislike Bogan.
It pisses me off that he, and The Undertaker for that matter, are still seen as Gods. The WWE needs to go the fuck back to Toronto. I'm sure they regret what they started at WrestleMania X8.
Hogan going over Orton is supported by the current status of Randy's backstage reputation. Maybe if he was the upstanding future megastar people claimed him to be back when he was Intercontinental Champion, he would have a chance. Right now, the biggest thing going for him is the rumour that they plan on throwing him at Triple H in the near-future. That might be enough to convince the WWE to have Hogan screwed out of the win by Stone Cold Steve Austin, or something equally as protecting of Hulkamania.
I predicted Shawn Michaels last year. HBK was never in the top names you rattled off when you thought of the icons (Hulk Hogan, Stone Cold Steve Austin, The Rock, etc.) always sitting just outside that status. As good as anyone ability-wise, but just lacking that casual fame the others had. A win over Hulk Hogan could have boosted him to that level artificially, even if he never got the fame. Hogan beat Michaels and made me sick.
I hope Randy Orton goes out there, and if scheduled to lose, embarasses Hogan somehow. The guy's already earnt himself a reputation in the WWE, time to fuck them over before they do him. If Hogan gets the Leg Drop, kick out at one. Seriously, Orton would be a legend to me if did that. Hogan is the one guy who I would pay to see someone act unprofessional around out there. If Orton no-sells Hogan's offence, what is the WWE going to do? Fire him? The fans would be too much in awe of the guy, both marks and smarks alike. Punish him? That would be silly. It buries Hogan even further, Orton leaves next time his contract's up.
Someone needs to shoot on the Hulkster's ass.
