Hulk hogan too much

[sammylip17]

So another impact episode and once again the opening segment and closing segment includes him. It's got to the stage now where I actually him his theme tune before the show even starts as I know there's a huge chance that he will open the show. To my suprise this week it was the aces and eights theme that played, however I didn't have to wait long for the guitar rift.

He came out after Sabins title victory and ruined what should have been a special moment for a wrestler coming back from approx 2 years out.

Also it seems as if whoever Bully ray faces recently is just an afterthought as the real feud is with hulk hogan (Brooke to be involved soon aswell)

I do not want to see another hogan match, especially considering the state of the mans body already.

Basically I'm not in love with hulk hogan

[Efren]

Yea, he becomes so annoying at times. I dont hate so much his appearance on screen but the fact that heels all fear him and he wives them whippings.

How can you take a heel as a treat after hogan walks in the ring and they flee or worst yet they try to attack him in packs and he gives them some terrible looking punch and they fall over.

I think a better title would be "Too much Hogan". Why narrow it to only Hulk and forget the master thespian that is daughter Brooke.

Now that you talk about Hogan, I have a question: What's up with Hogan cursing nowadays?

Because they think it shows he's tough and means business.

I think he's just doped up on pain meds and had little clue what he's saying.

[OGJB is Slender]

When you start robbing people of Main Events to further the Hogan drama, you've gone too far. The fans in the arena didn't even see what happened backstage. All they were left with was an empty ring and no finish. That's inexcusable.

[Djm Doesn't Find You Funny]

Blah blah blah, biggest star in wrestling history. Blah blah blah household name.

Blah blah blah, getting people to talk about TNA...

Yeah, nobody believes any of that shit anymore.

"brand awareness"

Maybe he is reverting back to his FUNB Terry Bollea persona. I for one think it's about time.

Corrected for accuracy.

[SOR]

Basically with Hulk TNA feels he is their biggest star (Which honestly, he is) so what do you do with your biggest star? Highlight them most.

Now Hogan didn't really rob the crowd the booking of that match we all know that neither man was losing. That's the screwy finish blame whoever TNA's head writer is for that. As for the Hogan drama, It's a little interesting although getting a bit boring now.

You're just playing 'hard to get'

[________ has left the building]

The payoff to all of the Hogan Family Drama is a Hulk Hogan vs Bully Ray match. Sorry but last thing I want to see in 2013 and beyond is a physically broken down Hogan wrestling or at least attempting to wrestle.

[The Dark Order Inferno]

At this point it's safe to assume that no-one is going to have any sort of storyline moment without Hulk being involved, he couldn't even let Chris Sabin's triumphant return from injury go without his involvement. I honestly believe if this keeps up, Hogan is going to start getting pelted with garbage when they head toward smarkier areas, or WCW's territory.

Is there any evidence whatsoever that Hulk Hogan is TNA's biggest star, or is it all based on the fact he was famous 20-30 years ago? Starpower fades over time if you get overexposed, do nothing new to keep people interested or can't perform like you used to, just look at Hollywood, where people like Steven Seagal and Sharon Stone are now reduced to doing TV cop shows.

[Surfer Sandman]

Hogan vs Bully Ray would have been interesting...20 years ago.

Forget about now.

Well, Look at the crowd. Go watch a tape of this weeks Impact I believe I saw someone dressed as Hulk and tons of T-Shirts, Bandana's etc for the guy. Who else really has that? He and Sting get the biggest pop on the show most weeks and I'm sure at least a couple of hundred people are paying to see the guy live week to week.

As for Seagal and Stone, they're still names. People still know and care about them. Maybe not as much as they did 20 years ago but they still care and will still pay to see them.

Sor is right, the live crowd is mostly there for Hogan, there's no denying the amount of merchandise and the reaction he gets week in and week out and the hammer spot at the end with Brooke would have went over huge if it happened out in front of that live crowd. The main problem with the Hogan bullshit is that with the amount of time it takes up of the show and all the bloody ad breaks thrown in it's really a chore to watch as an at home viewer.

I think they need to go with Matt Morgan w/Hogan vs. Bully as soon as possible and put the whole thing to rest as soon as possible because that's where I see this going, Hogan finally breaking and letting Morgan get his shot in exchange for ridding TNA of Bully Ray.

I'm not a regular viewer of TNA but from what episodes I've seen...the shows are about 90% Hogan on screen or the commentators are talking about him. It's just ridiculous. It's just pure insanity really.

It's not as bad as that to be honest it's more a 60/30 split.
