Hogan beat Triple H tonight(yea!!!). The crowd didn't seem as hyped as they were at Wrestlemania but they still booed every move Hunter executed. How the hell has Hogan gotten this over?! I know he's an icon, but not even Stone Cold circa 1998 got this kind of support. I hope the WWF doesn't try to milk him too much. As much as I love the Hulkster, I really can't see him holding on to his current popularity... Then again, I never thought I'd ever hear a "Rocky sucks" chant again either....
Vince has really dropped the ball concerning them... If they're supposed to destroy the WWF, then why not act like it? Recruit some big names(Taker, Brock Lesnar... Steiner? ) and start jumping EVERYBODY. Yeah, Scott Hall vs. Bradshaw is really gonna shake things up.
Steiner is reportedly close to signing. Anyhow, this probably sets up a match that's been in the making for a while....Hogan vs. Undertaker.
Way to go hulkster I see someone has been eating their vitamins and saying their prayers the dude is old though, hope I am that ripped when I am that old. Heck I just wish i was that ripped.
Hogan v. Undertaker when UT won the world title for the first time at surviver series (in detroit?) a while ago ruled it all. Undertaker ruled so much more back then....
I know that Hulk is probably the best known wrestler of all time, but he needs a big change. He's still using the same basic gimmick he had in the '80s. Its time for a change.
Man... I hate hogan so much. I've hated him forever. He can take that vitamin, turn it side ways....no, he can take those vitamins, get arested by the FBI, get sent to a fed pen, and get stuck up the ass by some big guy. Man, i'd like to see a new company formed where they can use international talents from mexico and japan, and better utalize better american cruiserweights. Watching one company sucks. And how come it's not Hogan vs Austin. I rather see that. Two REAL Icons of their time. Two men who made wrestling in their own respective boom years. Hulk Hogan's rock n wrestling era vs Stone Cold's anti hero era.
Hogan hasn't been the same old Hulkster for about 5 years. He was Hollywood Hulk Hogan during that time. A big ego maniac and such and such. I think he's pulling out to Hulkamania again for a couple of different reasons. One reason 9/11, people are looking for heros again an Hulk Hogan was a hero to a lot of us during the 80's and early 90's. Also, the guy is either 50 or pushing 50 years old and is about to retire. I think he's doing this so that he can go out on top and as a babyface and not a heel. He'll probably retire with the belt and then they will set up some tournament, which I bet The Rock will win.
This is his last run before he retires. One last championship push before he goes - and I think he deserves it. Its cool as hell to see him get this kind of reaction one last time.
Dammit I wish I was in houston and could order these pay per views. Not that I was old enough to see Hulk in his prime in the 80's (although I've seen wrestlemania tapes) or that he's even the best wrestler to watch in terms of exciting moves but there's just something about this comeback that I (and apparently just about everyone else) love. I would've loved to see the crowd reaction at wrestlemania and i can imagine they went crazy when he pinned triple h. i mean, it's hulkamania, you gotta love it and all the nostalgia that comes with it. I hope they don't try to stretch it to long to where the nostalgia wears off and he's just old w/o great moves w/o the huge swell of support and they try to manufacture hype. let him go out on top and let this last huge bit of momentum be the last thing he's remembered by. kinda weird talking about a fixed event in terms of real athletics and going out on top and everything. and someone mentioned red and gold earlier, was he wearing that again tonight? damn i gotta watch raw for the first time in a while tomorrow.
As long as he doesn't do any more movies (*cough cough* Mr. Nanny, Santa With Muscles etc...) after he retires. Boy, they were terrible. I didn't mind Hulk Hogan the wrestler, though.
The reason we all talk about wrestling is because of mainly Hogan. Like Hogan says, the Rocks fans were mine first. And that, my friends, is true. Also, NWO sucks. When they came into the WWF at the beginning, I thought they were gonna start ripping it up. But then Hogan turned good and lost to the Rock. That pretty much killed it. Triple H should give up the whole "good" guy character. When he is evil, he is the best. What?
Man, still wrestling at the ripe age of 72. Is Ric Flair still out there too? Man I can't stand looking at his saggy man boobs!!
"Whatcha' gonna do when Hulkamania Runs Wild on You!" BOOOOYAAAAAAHHHHH!!!! Good to see Hulk back on top. Now if they could only bring back Bob Orton, Superfly Snuka, the Hart Foundation, the Heenan Family and shave 10 years off the Undertaker everything would be alright! I think it's great he's getting one last run to finish on top. I didn't think Vince McMahon would allow it, but good to see he's still got some heart, of course the money helps! Hulk Hogan is 49, he'll turn 50 August the 11th. Still in good shape for an old man that Hulk Hogan! I was wondering the same thing Anti, how is Hulk this over? Hulk in his prime blew away the Rock, Austin in his prime, and all other WWF wrestlers when it came to arena responses. That's not a slap in their face, it just goes to show how much of a legend Hulk Hogan is. When, on RAW, Hogan came down after WrestleMania and the fans were standign and cheering for about 5 minutes I got goosebumps. I saw WrestleMania III live and that is what the reminded me of.
