To be fair, if the WWE had someone as clued in as LC, they'd have fired him back when Kane was still a burn victim and well before Brock could threaten to kill him.

Notice that TNA actually hired Russo/Rhodes? You think there's a place for anyone who even REMOTELY knows shit about wrestling? Hell, even Heyman was taken off WWE creative...

Austin left cause he didnt like the direction they were going and he didnt want to put Lesnar over in a quick tournement non built up angle

Yes, except Austin can actually wrestle pretty well and he's decently entertaining.

But I'll agree that's he's sort of pushing it. Still, when he comes back, it's not after he "retired," so there none of that kayfabe trickery that Hogan excels at.

Explain it all you want, he said he was okay with it, that the issue had been resolved, and didn't show up. This was pathetic, unprofessional, and unjustified.

IT was a dick move and it was probably because he didn't want to lay down.

How many people has he put over of late?

Fuck that, how many people has he put over, period?

Hulk Hogan is a perfect example of how sometimes ignorance is bliss when it comes to being a wrestling fan. As a kid, Hogan was the closest thing to a living, breathing superhero. I loved everything about him.

And his turn was incredible. Whoever dismissed him being the greatest heel of all time obviously never watched him when the nWo was first created. he ws LOATHED. Nobody got more heat than Hogan. As a performer, he was a big partof the two highest points in the business: the 80s boom and the Monday Night Wars. Great. Good for him.

But Hogan is one of the most conniving, egotistical, manipulative, lying, backstabbing people I've heard of in any industry - ever. The no-sell for Vader in the WWF. His refusal to job for Bret Hart. His refusal to job to Andre or Dibiase at WMIV. And pretty much his entire carer in WCW: demanding to be put over Flair on his arrival, blaming the writing staff when the fans got on his case, pulling string to get all his buddies high-paying jobs (that whole Dungeon of Doom angle ws his idea, basically), the match with Sting which WAS Hogan's fault [NOTE: the whole rumor regarding the ref comes from the fact the Nick Patrick was the ref, Patrick was a close friend of Hogan, and before the match the two had a heated discussion that was clearly not in kayfabe] the match with Goldberg whihc Hogan only agreed to so as to show that he was a huge draw when the event had been sold out for weeks befiore it was announced Hogan would even be there, the shit he pulled where he would disappear for weeks durung the NBA playoffs then return once they ended and then take credit for the natural ratings boost, and on and on and on and on.....

Hogan has done some evil things in his career. Evil, wretched things. And it takes away from that feeling of nostalgia. Beyond just the things HBK said (which were all 100% correct BTW) it's that once you know about the stuff he's done within the business its just hard to get behind him. Hogan HAS put people over before: Savage, Warrior, DDP, Angle, Lesnar (big time!), and he gave Edge a rub by tagging with him. But none of that really balances the fact that for 25 years Hogan scrwed everyone around him, even guys he clainmed were his best friends, in order to take care of himself.

Don't forget pointing and posing, which he does for the majority of his on-camera time. Even Flair and Undertaker punch more than they pose.

No, you're misinterpreting the phrase "putting someone over" The book Death of WCW explains it real well and actually references Hogan and the wrong way to put someone over. I'll actually type up the section for you later on when I find the book. So hold this thought
I know what you're talking about here. It's when they're talking about Russo and Bischoff returning to form the Young Bloods. Hogan allowed Billy Kidman to win a match, but only put himself over in the process. I'd copy that section down here, but my copy of the book got destroyed in a rain/open window disaster.

That would be moi. I said this because he was already disliked in WCW by the fans before the heel turn and the nWo wasn't a particularly difficult way to get heel heat.

No one in this thread defended HBK. The topic was "why do people have such a problem with Hogan?" The reason why HBK was even brought up is because his promo on Monday was so dead-on accurate. It wouldn't have matter who said it, everything he said about Hogan was true.

No one has said HBK is a good guy, we have explained why we hate Hogan.Tell me, what comments gave you that feeling?

That HBK promo by the way was the best one ive seen from him in a while, i saw the looks on some of the Hogan fans faces (the ones wearing hogan shirts) and they were stunned.
