Seriously, I hope that the next guy does a performance in a "smart" arena, I hope we hear "Die Hogan, Die" chants. Honest to God. The guy must live in his own little bubble. He's worried about putting Stone Cold Steve Austin over? The guy can't even wrestle anymore! Give him his God-damned win over your incapable of "making stars" body.
By shaking his hand, all Hogan did was destroy any heel momentum Shawn Michaels had going. If this interview if true, fuck Hogan. I never watched wrestling in the 80's, never in the 90's, I don't give a fuck how much revenue he made, right now he is a fucking waste of time. He's not believeable, he's not entertaining (debatable, but we've seen everything he does before) and he's a completely delusion idiot. Plus he won't put ANYBODY, no matter how deserving they are of it, over. He wouldn't even return the job to HBK.
And his daughter's going to be a big musical success soon? Did she grow extra talent over night (a new for the Hogan family)? Honestly, Hogan's been saying that for months. Why didn't Hulk suggest she sing the National Anthem at Summerslam? He had the power to, because management has been sucking his dick enough in recent weeks. Wins over the Intercontinental Champ, Muhammad Hassan, Khosrow Daivari and two over Kurt Angle. All those men should have realistically gone over Hogan.

OK, IMO I think you may have over reacted slightly here, a few points I would like to make:
In 2002 Hogan tapped to Angle and put over Lesner like a god on a TV show, not even at a PPV, so when he was on a full time (ish) scedule he did put people over.
Right now he's back on his terms, why should he be putting people over? If it's on his terms I mean, he does have a legacy and coming back just to job wouldn't make sense, it's not like he needs to money is it? If he's at all serious about coming back for the fans they would want to see him go over anyway (the marks anway), plus the guy will have an ego, as would anyone else who's been put over like a god for the past 20 years. Why would you come back for 'one more match' after everything you've done to put someone who doesn't really need a rub over?
As for killing HBK's heel run, the writers have already done that by making him feud with Masters, so I don't think this was a long term plan anyway
I'm not saying Hogan did the right thing, but from his point of view I can see where he's coming from and why he did it.
