Need more reasons to hate Hogan?

I thought a lot of the programs Hogan worked in the 80's were very well done. Bundy/Hogan might of not of been the best wrestling match, but the program worked. That was great TV when the Heenan family attacked Hogan, held him in the turnbuckle and Bundy hit the Avalanche.

Andre/Hogan was money from the start

Orndorff's heel turn was one of the best heel turns ever done to this day. Another good program.

Savage/Hogan was one of the best built up storylines they have ever done.

Then 89 came and I think that's where Hogan got greedy, especially with Summerslam. What a shit match that was for a main event. It should of been a rematch of Hogan/Savage. At least the Zeus thing ended quickly. The undercard was so much better at that time.

Warrior/Hogan was awesome and will always be a top 5 match for me.

After this Hogan's character got stale and it began to get so repetitive until 96. He had one good program (Justice). His feud with Flair never came to be.

His 94-96 run is WCW was so stupid. Hogan/Flair should of made huge money, but the programs sucked. He brought in all his friends to make himself look good and it was always the same thing.

The nWo was great until they fucked it up at Starrcade 97. And yea, the whole Piper thing was kind of dumb, but I guess it worked more or less.

After this, Hogan had a couple of good programs with Taker, Rock and HBK, but there was far more bad then good. Mr America was a joke.

For Hogan's final curtain call, I propose Hogan Vs Cena it being booked for Hogan to win, only for McMahon to pull Screwjob #2 and get the final laugh.

A lot of that stuff can be attributed to him having creative control in his contract for probably the majority of his career. For better or worse really its down to the promoters who allowed that in the first place.

I like it, and I think Cena is one of the few people that has enough stroke to be able to do this.
