Well, I've never read it so as of right now, I'm gonna have to take your word for it. I just know RD is not a Hogan fan...infact, I don't think he ever was a WCW fan...now I am NOT stating that as a fact or an opinion...it's been years since I've been to Wrestlecrap.com. I'm more of a fan of the old-school Wrestlecrap.com....anyway, it's been a long time and I THINK I recall reading that RD never liked WCW...I know he was never a Hogan fan....but anyway, that book will be read by me after Easy E's book.

I do. Thank you. I look forward to reading it.

Where did I ever say that I only believe Hogan? All I said was give me sources that say otherwise about Hulk Hogan's idea to turn heel.

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.
