IT GETS BETTER. HOGAN TO WRESTLE AGAIN????

[Pseudonym]

Hulk Hogan returned to TNA Wrestling at last Thursday’s TNA iMPACT! taping in Fayetteville, North Carolina wearing a back brace due to his numerous surgeries. Hogan was telling people he’s not dealing with as much pain as he has in the past. Monday on Twitter, a fan asked him about the possibility of wrestling one final match and he said that he would like return to the ring by the end of the year. A company source reports that Hogan discussed returning to the ring at last Thursday’s taping.

– Angelina Pivarnick was not the only reality television star on hand for last Thursday’s TNA iMPACT! taping in Fayetteville, North Carolina as former Survivor contestant Jonny Fairplay also attended the event. He was looking for work. Talk regarding his behavior was favorable and company officials appeared receptive to using him again. However, that’s been in the case in the past and he still has yet to return. Hulk Hogan said they’ll get back to him.

Fairplay was under contract to the organization in 2004 and 2005, but did little of note because the Jeff Jarrett led creative team didn’t think he was talented. Company president Dixie Carter was said to be his major backer.

Has he not noticed anything about these surgeries???

[Can you afford to pay me, Gah]

He going to end up in a wheel chair. Really, did this last surgery basicly prevents him from basicly bending over. How in the hell could he work a match.

[Mozenrath]

It's always possible he just likes to talk himself up with fans. A little BSing, possibly.

Jonny Fairplay? I guess they could do worse, though it'd still be a bad idea.

And did anyone else see this thread and think it was going to be Hogan doing a PSA for people coping with homophobic abuse?

[Rocket N. Nine]

Has he not learned that jumping in the air and landing on your butt isn't good for a busted back. Just ask Ricky Steamboat.

1. i hope that's all it is. srsly.

2. i dunno how much worse they could do. he's awful.

3. that made me lol cause i didn't see that at first.

[Baldobomb-22-OH-MAN!!!]

if Hogan actually gets in the ring again, then he's a f***ing idiot and deserves whatever happens to him. and shame on TNA if they let it happen.

In regards to 2, Fairplay is still better than Jenna, which isn't saying much, so they've already done worse.

Though, if they did bring him in, they could always just have Bonaduce dump him on his head again.

Its just Hogan being Hogan I think, just a big load of BS, working the fan, If he trully does want to come back in the ring hes the biggest idiot ever.

[Ian Austin]

Define wrestle...

It could be he becomes a face, works a tag match, spends 99% of the time on the apron and then hits an Axe Bomb lariat for the win. No bumps, just a finisher off a hot-tag and a pin!

I doubt Hogan wrestles ever again, but I can see him involved a tag match where he is relegated to punching and standing on the apron.

He is better off not wrestling, but if he does wrestle one more time, it should happen in the WWE.

[Andrew is Good]

I think Johnny Fairplay can make a great manager. I'm all for managers and their return, and I think they could put Johnny with some up and coming heels and help get some heat with them.

As for Hogan wrestling, he would have to be up to it. However, even though it will never happen, I suggest Hogan should lose his match, especially saying that there have been so many reports about his back, and he shouldn't just be bumping heels like he did before.

[Clash, Never a Meter Maid]

More than likely, he's going to get talked out of anything beyond punching and blading.

Please Hogan, don't wrestle again.

Not shocked if true. So much stuff gets attributed to them and the Torch.

Fairplay is a good pick up for any promotion, he's not only a passionate fan with notourity but also he's a good promo man.

["The Natural" Jeremy Grave]

Basically my reaction: (Language warning)

[Ash Kingston]

If this is true, and he wasn't just playing up to his fans... then Hulk Hogan is a tremendous idiot and he needs to be dragged away from wrestling as quickly as possibly before he kills himself.

Can he even make a pin safely any more? There's a lot of bending and dropping to the floor quickly involved in that. Or for that matter, run off the ropes for an Axe Bomber? Those ring ropes can be murder on your back if you take them incorrectly or, say, if your back is busted up.

Probably can't get his leg high enough for the big boot. The legdrop is out. So what's left? The Hulk Up? Great spot but that's it? He'll come in, no sell, and leave so someone else can pin?
