Hulk Hogan

I first started watching wrestling right when the NWO started. Being the mark that I was, I absolutely hated Hogan. Then when I started looking on the internet and lost my wrestling innocence I started to realize how shitte he really is.

Triple H. Because he's a power-hungry, repetitive, self-mark who uses the company as his personal playground and if things don't go his way he throws a temper-tantrum. That description can used for Hulk Hogan too but he's actually contributed something to the business.

Perry Saturn. Pre-Moppy that is.

I think he's tied with Bull Buchanan in the terrible wrestler category.

I'm not sure if it's Brock Lesnar or Bill Goldberg.

Goldberg I never really liked, all the way from his WCW days and couldn't put my finger on it other than the ridiculous push that I didn't think his wrestling warranted. But, I guess during that time, a guy with black trunks, black boots, a bald head, and a goatee was bound to get pretty over.

I only liked him less when he mentioned that he had no desire to wrestle, nor did he really have any respect for wrestling overall, but was just in it for the money. Say what you want about Hogan, Nash, Taker, hell, even Triple H, but when you've been at the top as long as those guys have, honestly, you can only make so much money and have so much before it's pointless to keep going if it's just for money. If it were all about the greenbacks, I really doubt we would've seen Hulk Hogan after WCW, and I really doubt we would've seen Kevin Nash show up in TNA. Anyway, sorry to go off on a tangent.

Lesnar, I really wasn't a fan of when he debuted, but his Hell in a Cell Match with Undertaker made me take note of him. I wasn't THRILLED, still, with his mega push (he beat like everyone in the span of four months, shy of Steve Austin, and that's only because Austin walked out on the company in order to avoid jobbing to him), but I had more respect for him.

Then he left the WWE with a lot less notice than someone like that should give, and what really gets me is his reported attitude after he left wrestling. Apparently, he wouldn't sign autographs on any wrestling merchandise anymore, because "that part of my life is over."

Frankly, even if that part of your life IS over (and clearly by now, he does not want it to be, because wrestling is all he'll have, it would appear.), you should still be respectful to the fans that bought tickets and merchandise and ordered Pay-Per-Views, funding the company you worked for, and giving you those millions and millions of dollars.

So yeah, I'm not sure who I dislike more out of those two, but neither of them are very high on my list of favorite wrestlers.

Try again next week.

My answer remains, Hulk Hogan is my least favorite wrestler of all time.

You're saying you were a fan before Hogan beat the Iron Sheik for the title? If that's the case then you're fine, but...

everyone else talking about it fails to remember how much Hogan did for globalizing professional wrestling. Without Hogan, wrestling would still be a bunch of different regional territories with limited television time.

I started watching when I was four, that was '81. So fuck Hogan. Hogan killed Pro-WRESTLING and he and Vince McMahon ushered in Sports Entertainment.

The first time Hogan was in WWF he was a heel with Blassie as his manager...I started watching wrestling around this time...however I was watching what every real fan was watching at the time, the NWA. Then Hogan was in AWA for a while, and no one gave a shit, he came back to WWF, was shoved down everyone's throat, and suddenly he is a great guy who changed the face of pro wrestling. I DON'T THINK SO. Vince McMahon changed wrestling. You want to credit the surge, credit Vince, who busted his balls to change how wrestling was promoted. I hate Hogan for taking credit for being "The guy" who made wrestling popular.

I was just making sure that that's the "second time" you were talking about, as I had a pretty good idea it was.

Frankly, though, Hogan's the guy that went out there and sold the tickets. If the people hated him at the top that badly, then the WWF would've gone nowhere, and NWA would still be the dominant force in pro wrestling today, regardless of McMahon's work.

My earliest wrestling memories involve Hogan to an extent, but more along the lines of the Road Warriors. Those guys were the epitome of cool.

Least Favorite Wrestler? For me, it'll come as a surprise, but Sting. I LOATHE Sting. Back in the day my least favorite wrestlers were Sting and Great Muta. Later, I came to respect Muta. Sting, he just seemed more like a dork in the Surfer Era. I liked him briefly during the Crow-era, until he started Howling, then it was SSDD (Same Sting, Different Day). Sting did two things for me, though: Made me a Vader fan and Made me a Cactus Jack fan. He didn't make me a Jake fan, because I was a Jake fan to begin with.

There's two people you could have possibly put that mantle on, if they had stayed clean: Jimmy Snuka (Watch the Cage Match with Backlund, he was a heel in the match until he climbed the ropes, then the fans went crazy for him) and Junkyard Dog (The guy was mad over down South, comparable to Hogan level of fame). I'd almost argue that, if a couple of years later, when Jake came in and DDT'd Ricky Steamboat, Jake could have carried WWF to an Attitude era a decade before it actually happened. There's also a possible "What if Magnum TA went to WWF?" He could have been bigger than Hogan, but we'll never know, mainly because of the car crash.

everyone else talking about it fails to remember how much Hogan did for globalizing professional wrestling. Without Hogan, wrestling would still be a bunch of different regional territories with limited television time.
You're assuming that without Hogan, the business would remain completely static. That would be great, if only Hogan was behind Hogan's success, and no other changes would have happened in the WWE. However, that's assuming a HUGE amount of factors go EXACTLY the way they would need to go to conveniently remain the same way.

It's like saying without Bill Gates, there would be no PC. OR, a more comical one, without Gore, there would be no internet.

Actually, I WILL say that operating systems (and probably many other applications as well) wouldn't be what they are today without Mr. Gates.

First off, OS=/=PC.

Second, Windows was a castoff OS purchased by Microsoft. All it would have taken was another investor. Without Microsoft, Apple would not have been so obssesed with proprietary software, and would not be capable of running only 15% of the programs.

Yes, the OS would have changed, but the PC would still be around in all likelihood.
