Exactly. If Cena carries four brooms to credible matches he deserves to go in.
Which is not the way I phrased it. iytbvuijmpkolbiyrctvbjlkbgouvkjlbn;lihvb j |

I am too much of a man to edit my way out of the situation I created. I'm pretty sure Cena will win here, and that he will not advance to the HOF, unless he spends the next four rounds going up against Hulk Hogan at Halloween Havoc '99.

Well 98 was the Warrior match, and that's one of the biggest abortions ever

Cena gets my vote, hands-down.
Sure, the whole Superman-push is annoying, but that seems to be more on WWE's side of things than Cena himself. He's handy on the mic, and can put on good, even excellent, matches without needing someone to carry him. Cena has the chops to be the company-carrying star they want him to be, but he's just been booked the wrong way for too long. As for Hogan...well, I think Destor pretty much summed up what I think of him. Not to mention the guy makes the Kliq look like Terry Funk when it comes to putting folks over. |

Cena.
Cena can go in the ring...or well he used to be able to. Hogan could turn it on in Japan...and thats about it. Cena from what everyone says backstage is a great guy, Hogan.....yeah. Plus Hogan helped be apart of the Starrcade 97 fiasco. A guy is chasing you for over a year, be afraid of him when he gets in the ring. |

Vote goes to Cena. He's at least capable of occasionally putting on a good match.

Hulk Hogan for the win. The guy was over as fuck and he made boatloads of money. That is what the biz is about. Get over and get paid. As bad as some of his matches may have been, the 98 match with warrior alread being mentioned, he always made the crowd go nuts. WM 18 is a great example of this, hogan was older than fuck, was supposed to be a heel, yet when hogan came out and did his shit they loved it. Cena will never be able to do that. |

People have been over and made "buttloads of money" with out destroying the entire industry. He made butt loads for WCW didn't he? Oh wait...

Hogan was no Ric Flair in the ring, but he was the reason why the WWE boomed in the 80's and is still the most recognizable wrestler in the world. And for all the shit he gets from the IWC, a lot of which is well deserved, he wasn't the worst wrestler to ever have laced up a pair of boots. He at least knew how to work a crowd and had some knowledge of basic ring psychology, which John Cena has no idea of. Hogan carried a company on his back, Cena has nearly destroyed the WWE these last few years.

And Hogan destroyed the ENTIRE INDUSTRY in the same time. They're highly comparable, except Hogan only helped one company and Cena only hurt one company. Basically yo all keep saying him putting one company over makes up fo all the ones he put out then, and still makes it impossible for to this day.
See Hogan not just no Ric Flair in the ring, he's no Ric Flair out of it either. If you take all the money Hogan made for the Indusrty and subtracted all the money the indusrty could've made hogan's going to come out so far in the red that hes a joke. Ric Flair? Ric Flair made everyone money. All across the world in every promotion he went he drew big money. He went all across the nation making stars, and when he left those places drew better mone because of him working their, elevating their talent. Flair helped the INDUSTRY. Hogan helped McMahon. That's it. Turner didn't come out ANY better because of Hogan, only Vince. One guy. Flair made countless promoters money time and time again, but the importantthing is he allowed the to make money WITH OUT HIM. That a guy helpng the buisness. Not Hogan. |

Hulkamania was an amazing thing at the time, but Vince was the orchestrator and I feel eventually someone would have been plugged in. I give Hogan credit where credit's due, but I feel he was a pawn to a vision, and he's been exploiting the fringe benefits ever since

Voted Hogan
I'm sorry, I don't believe that if McMahon and Hogan didn't do what they did that someone else wouldn't have come along and done exactly the same thing. There was money to be made so it was done. Also, what kind of a wrestling industry would there have been without it? I don't think we'd be here talking about anything interesting because nothing would have really happened. |

As far as asing what kind of industry there would be with out him...dude. Wreslting was around long before him, what the hell do you mean. There ws more of an idustry then then there is now. there were more promoters and wrestlers and on average they were making more money. FACT. As far as someone else coming along had they not, that's irrelevent. They DID come along, and they DID kill any hope of making money in pro-wrestling with out being under Vince McMahon. I'm not interested in what could have been but what actually happend. |

Not to play semantics, but "Fact" doesn't mean "Truth". If I say "Blueberries are pink", it's a fact. It's just not a true fact. The only reason I bring it up, is that if I argue exactly counter to your point -- which I totally agree with, by the way -- I could still emphasize it by saying "FACT" at the end, regardless of the FACT that's it's a hot-air concept.

I know old romantics love the terrirtory system but seriously the wrestling business moved on with the times what with syndicated national television deals and PPV. These promoters who were making so much money obviously missed a step and fell by the wayside for a reason. When I was asking what kind of industry there would be now I was hinting to the fact that it would be antiquated, behind the times and not as global as it is now. I think it's progressed for the better, not many people would give a shit otherwise. WWF lead to WCW stepping up and even ECW was a revolt against the norm, I just don't see how the way things panned out that it was all so bad. |

yea, I agree wrestling is dead. It's gone, buried and will never be back. The WWF is a sports entertainment company that happens to have a wrestling program. I agree that's it's a tough job if you want to make any money these days and I could see why Destor's pissed because that's his profession. But McMahon did what any businessman in his right mind would do with the product he had. He made the most out of it. I'm getting way of track here from the thread, but wrestling is dead to me and I've come to accept that it is what it is now as far as the show. It's a shit show, but what can you do.

wrestling isn't dead. Thre's still a lot of great wrestling and wrestlers, in and out of the WWE. It's just that WWE dispenses quality matches at their own discretion and rate, as to preserve the hunger for them. It's a business move
