Nepotism is the reason why Stephanie McMahon was put on tv. So is the reason why Brooke is on Impact on a regular basis. But no one ever criticizes WWE for putting Stephanie on tv. Everyone's just like "Wow Steph is an amazing talent, how come she can't be on every show?" This. Sounds like TNA bias to me tbh. At least Hulk hasn't put his daughter in the ring or given her a title belt.

. He wouldn't have "one last match" in WWE because he's too broken down to take a bump anymore. As yeah, I highly doubt Vince McMahon want's a nearly immobile Hulk Hogan back. For what? A general manager? He's already that in TNA and no one gives a shit. To be fair Vince pretty much owed Bret some screen time after the Screwjob. All that was was a "thank you, and sorry about that whole Montreal thing" gig that Bret had. Also, Hogan already had his last run in the E like 10 years ago. That was his thank you run, he's not going to have another. I can't imagine that many people want to see Hulk get into the ring with any of the WWE's guys now. He already did the dream match thing with everyone except Austin and he could barely move then. Hulk was my favorite as a kid and he's still alright, but there's no reason for him to be on TV with any regularity in 2013.

She's terrible and everyone knows it. Sarcasm travels slowly on the internet it seems.

If Vince had a shot at Hulk he'd sign him. A lot of people underestimate the value of Hulk.

Hulk was floating around for like 6 or 7 years after his last run and Vince didn't bother so I don't think that would change now. If he ever goes back it will be as a WWE ambassador he'll never be a regular on TV again.

I'm not talking current days I don't follow the WWE board enough to make judgement on that one. Fact of the matter is Steph was put in prominent positions on TV from like 99-04 and I never read anyone whining about her having her spot because of her dad or being untalented (Even though she is) TNA does it and it's an injustice and the world hates it.

In 2013 they do but back in the day not that many had issue with Steph being put all over the WWE product or being put with the top heel or being made the top female heel in the entire company. I just don't get the Brooke hate from people. If she's that annoying/upsetting for you to watch why not vote with your remote instead of complaining about it? If Impact lose 100,000 viewers every time she comes on they'd probably get rid of her pretty quickly.

People hated Stephanie being on WWF programming. Google wrestling message boards from 2000 to 2005 and you'll witness the un-love.

You didn't hear anyone complaining about Steph on TV in 99-04!? Most people have been saying that she is terrible and only on TV because of Vince since she showed up.

It's called a message board, it exists for people to discuss, not just blindly praise. It shouldn't be a difficult concept. Besides that "Vote with your remote" is only a valid strategy if you're a Nielsen family, since that's how ratings are calculated. Most people are not, so TNA doesn't know if they change the channel.

Brooke looks like a velociraptor and yes, I would turn her down SOR because I have standards that I don't compromise just because a half-dinosaur lady wants the D.

Most of everyone on the WWE board hates McMahon family drama. Exactly. McMahon family drama was why I stopped watching back in 01-02 and is the dumbest part of RAW today. Seeing Hogan's daughter be shoe horned in each week is just plain stupid. "Hey Gail. Member dat ODB is an active wrestler! Better watch out!" Wow, what an announcement by KO law. No matches made. No stipulation changed. Just a reminder that an active wrestler is indeed an active wrestler. Brooke Hogan's next announcement: "Hey Mickie! You gotta pin someone for 3 seconds to win a match! Don't forget!'

Their were/are a heck of a lot of people who criticize Stepha and especially Big Momma Linda. However, I'll play Devil's advocate and say that their wasn't as much hate toward Steph between 99-04 because she was actually useful and productive in the early years. It was really during HHH Reign of Terror when people became sick of Steph. Brooke is none of those things, doesn't add or enhance TNA. If Brooke left TNA today,most would not notice and those that did, would be happy.
Why the heck would I not watch Impact because of Brooke Hogan. I enjoy most of it, just not the Hogan Family Drama.

Dude, SOR . Just because you like Hulk, doesn't mean you have to defend everything related to him. Even if what you say about Hogan being an extremely valuable asset for tna is true, that doesn't mean Brooke is. Trust me, if Aries had a talentless relative come in and be shoved into the main event scene, I'd be just as pissed.

Steph, Shane, and Vince are all great (on the mic) talents. While they all are terrible in the ring, they have all done crazy things, and have all worked their way up the company. Vince made Shane and Steph do a lot of grunt work.
Brooke was just thrown into a top spot, because she is someones daughter. Her net worth is around $6m(google it), and yes she is making around 6 figures. She is not working at TNA for minimum wage (as one person on here referenced).
So TNA is paying Brooke Hogan and Christy Hemme (who only works selected house shows) at the very minimum of a combined $200k. These are people who bring nothing to the company. No one in their life will ever pay to see these two do anything.
Yes, Linda McMahon is terrible on the mic, but she is a business person first, and foremost. So is Steph, so was Shane, and so is Vince.

I hope HHH does, but no in general I think people tend to be critical of Steph as they tend to be critical of Brooke.

Stephanie was probably as rough on TV as Brooke is now when she first started, honestly. Brooke sucks, and she's not all that great to look at in my opinion, but Stephanie isn't either imo. I think that Stephanie is much better at speaking to a crowd at this point, but she only has like a 15 year head start.
