Yeah, Hogan was and is one of my favorite wrestlers. That's one of the first things I stated in my opening post. My love for Hogan has never been a gimmick either. However, I'm almost 30, and after following Hogan's career for so long these are my honest thoughts. Hulk has done some things I agree with, but he has also done things I have not agreed with. I'm not some Hogan ass-kisser who thinks Hulk can do no wrong. I use to be, but not anymore.
I never liked Hogan in his WCW days. I was a major WWF fan. It wasn't until after WCW died that I said anything nice about Hulk in WCW, and it wasn't until Hulk came home to the WWF that I cheered for him again. I was so happy about him being back in the WWF that I totally relived my youth and marked out big time for Hulk. Then when he came back in 2003, my love for Hulk was very half-assed, but he was the only thing keeping me watching the WWE. When he and Piper left WWE in the summer of 2003, I left with them and have not watched WWE since. I often say I am a WWF fan. Never cared for "WWE". I tried to give it a chance, but the name-change is another reason why I no longer watch wrestling.
The Hogan/HBK feud would have been better if it happened almost ten years earlier, and I was very let down when Hogan didn't put Orton over, and never liked how he'd pop in WWE once a year just to promote whatever B-rated project he had, and then when go over on WWE talent that actually wrestles year-round.
I could barely handle TNA when Hulk went there and haven't watched it in years. I finally realized that Hulk needs Vince to be anything worth a crap.
