And here I've always had the impression Hogan & Y2J do not like each other. I certainly know Jericho, and Hogan's buddy, Bischoff hate each other. Hmmm, strange days indeed.....

Hogan's had nothing but nice things to say about Jericho for a long time, even calling him one of his favorite opponents ever a year or so ago.
Honestly though, this is one of the least newsworthy items ever, lol

More in a wild speculation way (in my own mind) than anything else.

Hogan and Jericho are on good terms, it's Eric Bischoff Y2J has a problem with. Hogan has only praised Jericho's work lately.

Also in Y2J's new book he said that he buried the hatchet with him back when Eric was in WWE.

In Jericho's first book, he basically said seeing Hogan wrestle as a kid was what made him want to be a wrestler.

I don't want this took as a diss, but I hope this does not lead to Jericho in TNA

Jericho's 2nd book makes it seem like Hogan and Jericho are on good terms.
I loved the line about after Jericho left WCW. Something about running into Bischoff later and asking if there were any problems about how Jericho left and Bischoff just going, "Problems? Why? Didn't you send me a fax thanking me for the time you worked there?"
I just love the idea of Bishoff getting that fax and going, "You know what? This guy's okay. I'm gonna make due with the other hundred or so smaller guys on my roster.

Hogan and Jericho never really had a problem. Jericho and Hogan had a match in 02 where Jericho basicly called the whole match. Hogan agreed to to the spots or something. Hogan praise one time for making that match good.

Hogan likes all his "Canadians" that were so easy to work with in 2002.
He wasn't happy with Vince when he made Jericho & the Unamericans switch to RAW.

In Jericho's first book, he made it seem that he and Hogan got along pretty well.

Hogan's forgetting that one of the main issues surrounding Edge's retirement is that he was basically forced to retire because continuing to wrestle could wind up killing him. He didn't choose to end his career, it was decided for him with his best interests in mind.
There's a major difference between an injury that you can work through and an injury that could end up paralyzing or killing you.
And thats not even bringing into focus the fact that half of the wrestlers that Hogan named are either unable to wrestle anymore or are dead because they tried to work through pain and turned to painkillers in order to cope.

I said it before, and I'll say it agian, Hogan shut the f*** up!
Show some respect for a guy who just retired from something he loved to do. Just becuase you couldn't stop when doctor's told you, and every day you walk into the TNA arena your ruining you legacy, does'nt mean Edge has to do the same.
Edge left before tragety struck. He could've died in the ring if he keep going at it. You self-indulging peice of shit can't grasp the fact that Edge actaully has some sense and decency to retire before he can't walk anymore.
And you walking around in a back-brace making fun of Edge? Give me a f***in' break. Atleast Edge can still walk, you dips***.

I don't think Hogan was trying to insult Edge, but it was a pretty stupid comment. Edge broke his neck in 2003, came back in 2004 and was a major player ever since; a good 7 years.
SOme of Hogan's examples are poor as well. After dropping the IC title to Hart, Henning spent a lot of time as a commentator or manager. Outside of his face turn in 92-93, I don't think he wrestled much after that until he went to WCW in 96.
Foley had moments where he would come out of retirement for a few months (to build up Randy Orton, to feud with Edge, his TNA run), but he hasn't been consistently wrestling since the lead up to WM 2000.
Hardy never had a neck injury as far as I know, he's always been drug related
AA DID retire because of a bad neck.
Stone Cold's neck injuries played a huge part in ending his career.
I'm sure a lot of those guys do wish they listened to a doctor though. I think a lot of these guys kept wrestling because they didn't save their money.

I just think Hogan is senile. I'll put as much stock in him as I would the old hobo guy I see in town sometimes who tries to sell people maggots.

I dont think I need to say anything about how terrible a person Hulk Hogan is and why I will never truly like TNA as long as he is around.
But I would love to hear certain people try to defend this SOB because I am sure they are coming.

someone needs to remind hulk, how he has trouble walking to the ring these days.
Using Arn & Orndorf, that was stupid given how messed up both guys are now, and as for Hennig well not good to use a guys name who died way too early.
If Edge retires now and stays retired so he can have a decent healthy life, he is a bigger man than Hulk (who can't help jumping back into any stupid ass project so people wont forget him) or Flair (who is wrestling today because he is an idiot who married obvious golddiggers and couldnt take a pay cut from vince) will ever be.
edit: someone really needs to keep hulk away from the computer. he comments on everything going down and makes a fool of himself everytime.
twitter and the like have really broken down the wall about how jaded and desperate wrestlers can be for attention.

Yeah Hogan didn't read the fact that Edge retired because not one doctor was going to clear him to wrestle. Edge had surgery and it worked for 7 years. But it was as he said "brought time". Austin basicly retired because of his neck after WM 19. He was all over the site. Hell remember Eric comiming out the next night with the "doctors note".

It is sad, Hogan & Flair were up until about four years ago tied in my mind for greatest of all time. Now I've lost nearly all respect I ever had for both men.
