He does seem a little more fired-up than usual, but it's still pretty much the same Hogan promo he's been giving since the mid-'80s. Again, not necessarily a bad thing, but when he keeps talking about revolutionizing the whatever it is this week, it's hard to take him seriously.

see: pretty much any guy that's ever been good with promos ever from Randy Savage to CM Punk.

Savage: "Ohhh yeah", something in a small tense voice referencing the person or thing the promo is about before something about "the Macho May-un" doing something before LOUD BURST with raised clenched fingertips back to small tense voice before saying something like "funky like a monkey" at normal volume then gradually getting louder as he finishes the promo whilst getting the main points (date/location blah blah) before DIG IT! *gurn* *walk off*

CM Punk: look smug, smark reference, worked shoot comment, look smug, smark reference, worked shoot comment, look smug etc. Add boasting and insults for when heel.

You go with what works. Do you expect HBO-esque monologues?

Not at all. Hogan is excellent at what he does. It just feels disingenuous when he talks about revolutionizing the industry while changing nothing about himself.

what, Hogan went through the biggest "impact character change" in the history of pro wrestling/completely reinvented himself practically overnight, which served as the shot/jump start that revolutionized the entire industry
