Im fine with him back in WWE if for punishment he returns to his Rock N Wrestling song for a few appearances... And uses the song with its actual lyrics. How is being given a Steinman song a punishment?  |

Hogan is WWE, WWE is Hogan they belong together. Hogan may not be able to wrestle but he belongs in the WWE. I would give him Flairs new job since Hogan is a bigger name than Flair and understands the WWE a lot more than anyone else. and say what you will about Hogan, he's a professional whenever he's in front of fans. you won't get the sloppy drunken embarrassment you get with Ric Flair. You put Hulk in that symposium and it instantly turns into a fun back and forth about wrestlemania. Instead of a fun back and forth about flair's career and jr's wife. Or harley stories. Hulk would stick with the script, then again people would probaly ask for "Austin/Hogan" the whole time WWE knows how to promote his name, and he sees tna as bush league like everybody else. Would love to see Hulkster back |

Hulk belongs in the E, but I don't see him wrestling. He deserves the biggest appreciation night of all time with no bullshit. BTW, a few years ago on an episode of Hogan Knows Best, he was supposed to sign a 20 year deal or something with the E-now what was it for? I heard that it was a licensing deal giving WWE permission to use the "Hulk Hogan" name and likeness in merchandising and such. This was shortly after Bollea bought the rights to his ring name from Marvel Comics. I remember that when WWE ran ads for Hogan merchandise in its magazine (like the "Unreleased Matches" DVD) there was a small trademark notice at the bottom of the page that "Hulk Hogan" was a trademark of Terry Bollea and that it was used with his permission. |

Well, guess we know who's wrestling Triple H for control of WWE in the Wrestlemania XXX main event.

Maybe Hogan will try to do his Hulkamania promotion thing again. They can go to Nigeria and we can see the dream match of Hogan vs. Power Uti! Can you imagine the splendor of it all?!

Who wants to bet if he re-signs, he disappears for November, and comes back on the first Impact for December (which TNA will hype his return). The show will improve from previous weeks, and Hogan and Bischoff will brag that it's because of Hogan. The reason I say he'll do that is because that Impact will be going against a Jacksonville Jaguars game. Well, guess we know who's wrestling Triple H for control of WWE in the Wrestlemania XXX main event. NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! If the end game for Trips' control of the WWE, is for him to job to Hogan at Mania, I'm going to be f***ing pissed. If it's Austin or Rock, I'm fine with it. Trips has big history with both, and really Triple H vs Austin, and Triple H vs Rock, deserve to happen at Mania. In particular Triple H vs Rock, it should have happened at 2000, but we got the fatal fourway instead. But I don't think he'd be able to derail that storyline. Vince will do something Dixie won't, and that is say "No!" to Hogan. That's the reason he's in TNA, WWE could pay him more, but he knew he could get away with everything. They've given in to what he wanted, Vince wouldn't do that. Shit, you think that recent clip of him and Bischoff saying that Bischoff should be given the keys to the company, and that's how they'd get to the next level, would fly in WWE? Hogan leaving would be the best thing to happen to TNA in years. |

People forget, the episode Hogan debuted was heavily promoted with his debut being the main catch, and it delivered a 1.5 rating despite going head to head with WWE. To me, that shows that there WAS interest in what Hogan could/would do in TNA.
Unfortunately, poor booking quickly negated any of that. At this point, Hogan hardly has any value to TNA. The only thing I can think of is that he's the most marketable name TNA have. It isn't translating into making money though, and that's a big problem. Hogan in 2013 is just a huge paycheck.
TNA and Hogan would both be better off parting ways and Hogan going back to WWE.

He's as good as gone. He can see the writing on the wall. I don't think him winning that poll on Raw recently is a coincidence.

I love how everyone shits on Hogan being in TNA and say how horrible he is in every way. Then these same people are like "OMG Hogan needs to be in the E stat!", completely serious and not ironically. Just because he is in TNA he sucks, but the second he goes to the E everyone is a fanboy. You people...

Just because he is in TNA he sucks, but the second he goes to the E everyone is a fanboy. You people... I think that's because those people assume Hogan in WWE would go down a lot differently than Hogan in TNA. I think if Hogan came to WWE, was perpetually at the center of all main event angles despite not being able to wrestle people would bitch about that. I think if Hogan and Bischoff came to WWE and all of a sudden there was some lame, boring and ineffective top heel biker stable full of losers like Garrett, people would bitch about that. I think if Hogan came to WWE and you had Brooke Hogan booked over AJ Lee, people would bitch about that. I think if Hogan came to WWE and all of a sudden CM Punk is jobbing to Knobbs, people would bitch about that. If people are optimistic I imagine it's because they assume Hogan in WWE in 2014 would be nothing at all like Hogan in TNA from 2010 to 2013. And we're conflating a lot here in terms of what actual people have said about either scenario. I don't see any sources to back up this accusation of hypocrisy. |

He should retire at WM30 in the 30 Years of Wrestlemania Battle Royal. No better place to do it, and he wouldn't have the pressure of unmatchable hype or have to take any bumps aside from a carefully done elimination.

There's a couple things that the Hogan reign did to TNA that I kind of liked, like introducing something like Open Fight Night, some booking ideas, the Bound for Glory series, and changing the booking team around.
Unfortunately, Hogan has little to offer TNA anymore at this point beyond nostalgia pops in some markets. He doesn't fill up the show like he did at one point in terms of camera hogging, but his booking ideas aren't going to do much at this stage. He had some good ideas, but his overall vision wasn't built for the long haul.
Frankly, I'd be glad to see TNA return to a "back to basics" method when it comes to things like the talent that gets brought in; AJ bringing up some of the older X-Division guys made me think about that, and it'd be fun to see.

If he goes to WWE, he might use this opportunity to make Brooke be a part of Total Divas and maybe convince Nick to go to FCW or NXT or something. I can just imagine the day. *ding dong goes from door bell.* McMahon in his jammies:"Who could it be at this hour?" *Opens front door.* Jeff Jarrett:"He's your problem now!" *pushes Hogan forward.* Hogan:"Great to see you again Vince! I got this great idea on how you can..." McMahon:"(Unzips pants and moons) On your knees!!!" Fixed How McMahon unzip his pants if they are jammies and not jeans or slacks? |

If this were to happen, it has to be a win, because it has to end with the posing and the cupped hands. I couldn't imagine a Hogan retirement match without that. |

They could have Hogan win the World Heavyweight title at WM30. Hogan would go out on top and they could retire the belt permanently. Kill two birds with one stone.

If they had Hulk Hogan beat Alberto Del Rio at Wrestlemania... I feel as though I was pulled out of school so fast it made my head spin. I think any scenario where Hogan wrestles for a title would receive heavy criticism but compared to Del Rio I think lots of people would see it as the lesser of two evils, despite Del Rio always turning in good to great performances he's something of a whipping boy these days. |
