Make it a 3 way with Flair! And George Washington can be the special guest ref! Your special guest commentators who grew up watching those three in their prime, Adam and Eve.

Am I the only one who actually WANTS to see Hulk Hogan in the ring? Assuming his health is permitting, of course.
Think of it this way, Hulk knows more of his own limitations than anyone here. He doesn't NEED to wrestle. I'm sure he'll get paid the same either way, and he could do commercials for a living or whatever. If he's doing this, it's because he wants to, and feels he's capable of putting on a decent match without killing himself. Yeah, they're both old, and yeah, it won't be a 5* classic, but for christ's sake, the man's a legend. If it weren't for Hulk Hogan, no one would be on this forum right now, because wrestling would have fizzled out in the 1980's If the man wants to wrestle, let him.
Now should he be TNA Heavyweight Champion? Probably not. Sting can do it. He's good enough that in his old and busted state, he's as believable as the young guys. Hogan, on the other hand, is much futher down the spiral. Maybe a fluke win, and lose it or vacate it right away, but he should definately not be a long term legitimate champion. Having his name in the title history would help the title in the long run. But, if you're gonna put it on the Hulkster, you might as well give Flair a run too. He may be older, but he's in better shape, and not as far gone.
Hell, with those 3 names in the title history, Sting, Flair, and Hogan, the TNA Championship will be that much closer to becomming a world title.

So you want the old irrevelant has-been's to win the TNA Championship? I sure as hell don't. I want TNA to move forward, but to do that they need to eaither use the veteran's for the new talent to beat to establiih themselve's or get them off television. Saying you want Ric Flair to win the TNA Championship is like saying you want Dusty Rhoad's to win the WWE Championship. The guy's not in his prime anymore, and is a shell of his former self. Same with Hogan.

I said I DIDN'T want him to win the title. Read my post again. I do, however, want to see him wrestle if he feels himself capable. I like the old school guys. New guys are fine too, but they don't have the same mystique about them. I'm sure Jay Lethal can wrestle circles around Randy Savage, but which one would I rather watch? Randy Savage. I never did understand the "out with the old" philosophy.

Hulk Hogan can't even walk down to ringside, he hobbles.

I'd enjoy it the same way I enjoy bad movies, and I'd enjoy reading all the bitching in regards to the IWC.

Hell, with those 3 names in the title history, Sting, Flair, and Hogan, the TNA Championship will be that much closer to becomming a world title. I wouldn't be opposed to it. As long as it is used to push a younger guy. Or younger guys down the line. Immortal is lame. If TNA want to stick with them as the main bad guys, then having Hogan get the strap give them credibility. But take the belt out of the discussion for Hogan, have Kenny beat Sting for the belt with Hogan's help. Next Impact have Sting give a passionate promo what he represent and what Hogan represents. Foley shows up saying Sting deserve a rematch on Impact and to make sure it's fair, Foley will be in Sting's corner and Hogan in Anderson's corner. Before the end of the match, Fourtune shows up and beats everybody. Then you see Flair showing up in the entry way all smiling. He has rejoined Fourtune! Then sets up Sting vs Flair vs Hogan for BFG. At the same time AJ comes back into the title picture and will fight Kenny for the title at BFG.

I don't really get the mindset of wanting to see a guy that can't really do much of anything anymore out there just because he's an all-time great.
It's not to say that opinion is wrong, it's just one I don't really understand; and I say that as a huge dyed in the wool Hulkamaniac back in the day. The argument has been made that most of us wouldn't be fans without him, with me that's absolutely a hundred percent true. But even saying that, I still don't want/ need to see him out there as a shell of his former self, whether he can pop the crowd still or not.
Just from my personal standpoint, I don't wanna see it.

Andre The Giant has a heck of a lot of mystique, and he's a true legend of the business. But I don't want to see him winning titles at this point either. ![:P](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/tongue.png)

If he somehow showed up at the Impact Zone; I wouldn't be against Andre taking the strap. There's not many wrestlers I'd buy going over and undead giant.

I never did understand the "out with the old" philosophy. You are not alone. Today's wrestling is completely bland and devoid of talent, IMO. Guys like Hogan, Flair, etc, regardless of their age, can get bigger reactions doing spots from the '80's than 100%of the workers in the business can today (yes I said 100%......half the crowd booing John Cena's babyface routine is not a good reaction). Do I want to see Hogan wrestle again? On two conditions. 1) His health does not get effected, and 2) it is in the WWE where people will actually watch it. So I guess my answer to Sting/Hogan at BFG would be....no thanks.

Bottom line is this:
TERRY BOLLEA is ONE bump away from being PARALYZED if "Hulk Hogan" steps into the ring.
He needs to stop frakkin thinking like Hulk Hogan and start realizing he is Terry Bollea...husband, father, and human being. I cannot believe there is NO ONE in his inner circle or TNA management who is trying to stop this suicidal idea of him getting into the ring again.
Look, he is NOT Bruno...who at his age COULD put on one more big match....he isnt Backlund, who has had no major injuries and can still go better than 90% of the TNA roster. He is one...ONE bump away from being a cripple...with a catheter and a colostomy bag hooked up to him forever.
SOMEONE needs to sit this idiot down and explain the facts of life to him.

That'd make it even more impressive; that he was able to reform the ashes into an undead giant form. Sorta like a zombie Sandman.

Even though your overall point is dead-on...have you seen Bob Backlund lately? What makes you certain he could be better than 90 percent of the TNA roster right now?

I would love to see the anarchy that would erupt in here if Hogan won the TNA bely. I'd love it more if he won it off of Bobby Rhoode. I bet this place would freeze up like sherdawg after Fedor lost
