In a previous thread, I suggested a match between Orton and Hogan at Wrestlemania 22. I think it would be a good idea, but it was immediatly shot down because, quote," Hogan wouldn't do the job". And I asked why he would have to job to make it a good match. Not suggesting he should or shouldn't, just asking why. And of course, the rolling of eyes started.

I would bet you that even if I would have said Eugene, or Rob Conway, everybody would have said the same thing. Thats such bullshit. So because Hogans the past, and Ortons the "future", theres no way Hogan should be allowed to win? What about Austin? Or the Rock? Flair? How about HBK?

Don't tell me the difference between those guys and Hogan is that they have talent. Something that a lot of people in here don't seem to grasp is that to the guys upstairs, talent isn't the biggest part of the equation! It's REACTION!! Do you know why Hogan gets ten to fifteen minutes for a pose down? REACTION!! People like Hulk Hogan! I don't give a shit if they're marks or not. He's an icon, and when he comes out, the crowd goes nuts. He doesn't need to have more than three moves. Wanna know why? Because hes Hulk Hogan, and hes a symbol of the business. Everybody knows who Hulk Hogan is. How would know Christian, or Edge, or Shelton Benjamin, or even Randy Orton, if you just brought them up out of nowhere?

Hulk Hogan definitly has many character flaws in his personal life. He's way past his prime. Hes 52 years old. He's slow. He can only wrestle so often because of the state of his body. He only uses a couple moves a match, and usually over and over again. And yet, he gets bigger reactions than anybody in the WWE. People want to see Hulk Hogan. Check the Summerslam buyrate for some evidence.

Don't tell me that Orton has to win for it to be a good match. Randy Orton would be lucky to even have his NAME next to Hulk Hogan, let alone be in a ring with him.
