Hotel Hulkamania: On Byte this, Jim Ross had this to say about Hulk Hogan:

Ross compares Hogan to Classic Rock. There are always times when you want to hear Classic Rock. For Ross, it’s the Eagles. JR tires (Typo, their behalf) to catch their concert whenever he gets a chance to. Ross calls Hogan a bonified piece of Americana. He is a piece of American pop-culture. He is like listening to ‘Hotel California’ one more time. Ross doesn’t get tired of listening to that song, and for Hogan fans, they never get tired of watching him. The reaction he got Monday night was over-whelming. No one was expecting him to be there. It’s a testament to his staying power. That is one difference maker. He still has significance value at this stage of the game.

Yeah, Hulkamania is like "Hotel California." And the WWE is like MTV. When's the last time you saw a video for Hotel California on MTV?

Nostalgia's great. Classics are great. Doesn't mean it fits.

Finished? You notice that you have a hard time naming finishers for new heels? I think this may be part of the reason they seem so bland. I don't think a single casual fan could name the finishers for Hassan, Carlito, Morgan (Though he's been lately using an F-5, maybe this'll stay?), Jindrak, Renee, HEI-DEN-REICH, Snitsky, Tomko, Maven (Technically he has a finisher, it's just so BLAND no-one gives a shit), Dean, etc.?

Yeah. BORING. Why? In tense matches, a face kicking out of a strong heel finisher is a pretty big deal. Kicking out after a Maven Dropkick, or a Carlito...Whatever, is :yawn: next match please.

Mexi-Cool: This was so absud it was enjoyable. I just had to throw these guys out there.
