Instead of thanking the McMahons, he stands there all that time and lets the people chant his name  He should have started talking, and the people would have stopped. (Hasn't anyone else here seen Bob Barker on The Price is Right?) And NO, I don't think "Rambo" should have inducted Hogan, because I think it's a slap in the face to all the other wrestlers? What, none of the wrestlers Hogan worked with were good enough to induct him???? And yeah, I think the other wrestlers were slapped in the face because there inductions weren't televised. It's like saying, "thanks, but you're not good enough to be shown on tv." And to the person who said Orndorff is in bad shape, that's why he didn't stand up, are you sure about that????? When Stallone first came out, everyone stood except Orton and Orndorff. I was happy they didn't. Then when Hogan started hugging all the other guys (which, by the way, Piper and The Sheik have never said one good about Hogan, who WTF?) Orndorff again remained seated. Maybe Orndorff was pissed for being overlooked. |
my god. what is wrong with you? You have just defined the phrase "jumping to conclusions" very well. Thank you.
Vince and Co. were the ones who got Stallone to induct Hogan because celebrities, at least one, usually always appear at these things.
Spike TV only showed Hogan and Piper cause they only had an hour. Hogan = Ratings. Ratings = Money. You think many people watching that would of gave two shits to see Orton, Volkoff, Shiek, Orndorff or Hart speak? Hell no. Only real hardcore fans care about them. So why put them on? Put the guys people won't turn off on.
Yea, I was the "person" who said Orndorff didn't stand because he was probably weak by then. He did have severe nerve damage and a neck injury a long time ago that still affects him to this day. His spine is in bad shape too.
And I Never heard anything once that Orndorff has problems with Hogan. He and Hogan made a ton of money in 86 and he's said he's loved working with him.
