If Hogan wants to wrestle can it please be outside the WWE so my TV screen won't be stinked up by that old bastard.

He faces Lesnar. Brock ends Hogan's career when he rips out Hogan's spine and plays it like a xylophone, to the tune of 'Real American'.

Hulk Hogan has fallen and he can't get up

Hogan vs Cena.... Who wins that one??? I think the universe would collapse on itself before we get an answer. Cena has lost clean to Randy Orton and our favourite bearded midget. Cena would lose, easily.

Hogan wrestling is one of those things that would be agonizing to see on TV but in person it'd be really cool and the crowd would go insane, no matter how awful he'd preform. It'd be getting to see Babe Ruth's last at bat and there's no denying there's a market still willing to pay to see that. Yep. I would pay to see Hogan wrestle instantly if given the opportunity just for the crowd reaction.

A while ago, Hulk Hogan sued his doctor because a surgery left him unable to have that one final match with Cena, costing him $50 million, I guess he must have lost that so is looking for another way to get a quick payday. He'll keep on claiming he's got one more match in him, hoping he can talk Vince into building a big Wrestlemania program around him, but there's very little chance of it happening as he's a wreck, there's zero chance of him being cleared for a one on one match as he can't bend or take back bumps.
If they did for some reason suspend the medicals given to guys working matches to allow him to wrestle, given how litigious Hulk Hogan is these days, he's the type who would sue the WWE afterward if he didn't feel he was paid what he was due, or because he took a bump with his non existent back and made his condition worse.

Surprised by the lack of interest for one final big time match. I think him and Cena would have a fun build and would be a hoot to watch. Incidentally, I remember people moaning their asses off when Hulk / Rock was announced. I'm talking big time moaning, and look how fun that turned out.

Hogan simply can't go anymore, nor should he. He needs to give it up. This match simply shouldn't happen.

Hogan simply can't go anymore, nor should he. He needs to give it up. This match simply shouldn't happen. But it was the same thing then too. It was the same when Shawn Michaels faced Hogan at Summerslam 05. The internet has been constantly and consistently wrong when it comes to judging Hogan's appeal to a wrestling audience when used sparingly. The people who Hogan appeals to, dare I say the people to whom the WWE mainly appeals to, care mainly about storylines and drama and not about technical wrestling. If this wasn't the case Hogan wouldn't have had a career for the last 30 years. Granted Hogan has greater physical limitations but the bell to bell construct of a match is many years past being the be all and end all. People paid to see Trump get his hands on McMahon and those two weren't even in a match. People who don't understand how you can still utlise Hogan, rarely, in some kind of physical capacity I think misunderstand the whole 'Rocky Balboa' element of sports entertainment. There's always an element of "Oh my god who wants to see anything other than this guy" element about 'hardcore' wrestling fans like your/ourselves but the point of wrestling is to appeal to a wider audience as possible. If built right people will care more about a Hogan match than Zach Ryder match and no amount of explaining who can execute the more believable headscissors armbar is changing that.

In many ways Rock /Hogan was more of a clash than an older Hogan and Cena would be. You have to factor in the climate of wrestling at that time.

So what was his last match in the WWE?
I remember back around 2006, when Rocky Balboa came out and was a success, there were some rumors, either true or not, they the WWE was going to emulate the Rocky Balboa storyline for Hogan. I actually thought it could have worked.
You've got a hotshot wrestler that hasn't had any competition, goes up against Hogan, who "still got something in the basement, Mean Gene." Hogan gets beaten early on, but one big bad spot later allows him to get some believable offense in, culminating in a time limit draw or maybe even a countout victory for Hogan. Make it less about the pinfall victory, and more Hogan wanting to prove he can go the distance.
Of course now that I type this I realize they pretty much did this exact same thing for Ric Flair's last match. :/

Incidentally, I remember people moaning their asses off when Hulk / Rock was announced. I'm talking big time moaning, and look how fun that turned out. Hogan is physically incapable of putting on a good match, his back is wrecked so can't perform 90% of his moveset, he certainly can't take any bumps that would involve him hitting the mat, ropes or turnbuckles and he has difficulty getting in and out of the ring. Watching Hogan try and work a match as he is today would be utterly depressing, it certainly wouldn't be the last match an icon of wrestling deserves. His in ring involvement these days should be limited like those of the legends of yesteryear, where he's in Cena's corner for a big match against a monster heel, eventually making a save where all he needs to do is punch and pose without taking any bumps.

Hogan is physically incapable of putting on a good match, his back is wrecked so can't perform 90% of his moveset I'm sorry, this is Hulk Hogan you're talking about isn't it? What's 90% of a clothesline exactly? Or a punch. The only thing he can't do is the leg drop but that's only a finisher. He can pretty much do 90% of what he's done since the 90s...which isn't a lot. If the guy can throw a punch and stop and rake someone's eyes and punch some more then his repertoire is pretty much in tact.

Well, as we all know, the Hulkster never exaggerates brother! Damn right that giant was 10 tons 600 billion people watched him throw him 20 feet in the air and crash into the mat so hard that the entire planet was destroyed. Also, no way in hell can he pass a physical with his back. as for what he can't do... He can't lift his leg to hit the boot, he can't do the leg drop, I doubt he can move fast enough to hit the axe bomber and make it look decent, and I'd also be surprised if he could lift anyone for a body slam with his terrible back.

LMAO, so HOGAN HIMSELF said he's got one more big singles match left him. Yeah, he's never talked out of his ass before. If he does wrestle a match, it's gonna be some big 8-man match where Hogan will throw a few punches and maybe hit a Big Boot.

At the end of his TNA run, ring steps were a pretty big obstacle. He's not having a real match.

Hogan won't be able to pass a physical no matter how much he trains.

What's 90% of a clothesline exactly? 90% was a bit of an exaggeration, but all of his big spots (Slams, atomic drops, big boots, leg drops) are off the table because of his back issues and what he's left with isn't enough to build a compelling match around that would give him the sort of send off as an in ring performer he deserves. He can punch, pose and throw people out of the ring, which he has a great deal of difficulty getting into in the first place, you just can't build an enjoyable match around that, the most you'll get from him is sending the crowd home happy after making the save in someone else's match.
