One thing I've always thought is how they went overkill when he had no creative control towards the end of his run. You had guys (like Lesnar) beating him for free, with little build, on Smackdown. I agree with that. I've got no problem with who he jobbed to, but he jobbed on free TV to most of these motherf***ers so it meant nothing. Lots of people claim Austin walked out because he didn't want to lose at all, which may be true. But he's still correct - him losing to Lesnar on PPV would pop a buyrate.

I honestly believe that both men know what's best for business. I also think that everyone can see that star names like Hogan and Austin can make a new guy's career when done right. Free TV losses with no build make no sense. For what it's worth Austin's gone on record saying that, and so has Hogan in a roundabout way.

I know he has and I love Stone Cold but no one knows how he was really feeling at that moment.

It would be an atrocity and one of the worst matches ever...but dammit, I need to see Hogan vs. Cena.

Terrible though the match would be, Hogan main eventing Wrestlemania XXX against Triple H would still be awesome in its own demented way, just to see him outpop everyone else on the card combined.

So he's not the right gay guy, at the right place, at the wrong right time? Guess we'll never see him wrestle a Rock again.

Not a match, but I'd be down for another WM moment where he saves somebody.

WM "30 Years of Wrestlemania" battle royal featuring 15 past and present names. Hogan enters, doesn't have to take a major bump, wins. There's his last match.

Hogan comes to the ring after Cena wins the title and raises his hand, acknowledging him as the new face of wrestling and passing him the torch as the man who will take wrestling to the next level. And at that point the FAN forum users go

The thing about Hogan being backstage or helping to train someone, unless they take it upon themselves to speak up for themselves and break through, it may not happen no matter who helps.
I'm thinking of guys like Austin, The Rock and Punk. I don't know all of their backstory, but from what I gathered, it came down to them standing up to themselves. Austin could have kept his mouth shut about being the ringmaster, and maybe they would have eventually given him a better gimmick because he was a damn good wrestler, but he wouldn't have made the same impact if he hadn't spoken up and asserted himself into the creation and development of his character.
Hogan can inspire, but he can't twist someone's arm.

Make him an ambassador, maybe host some dvds of his era, some nostalgia pop appearances at Mania or something.
That's it.
Perfect role for him, and WWE benefits from what he still can bring to the table.
No integral role, no in ring stuff.

If he is healthy, the only way to go would surely be Hogan vs Cena. Not exactly an impressive feat if Cena can beat a 60 year old wrestler whose body is destroyed to shit. It'd go beyond that. When Andre the Giant couldn't stand up under his own power it was still treated like an epic feat to beat him.

Not exactly an impressive feat if Cena can beat a 60 year old wrestler whose body is destroyed to shit. basically this. there's really no value to Hogan as a wrestler anymore. even the casual fans know he's broken down as hell and could wind up paralyzed fairly easily. if Cena (or anyone, really) beat him it doesn't help them because they just beat up a half-crippled old man. if Hogan beats them, they got beaten by a half-crippled old man. I'm all for Hogan showing up in an occasional ambassador role or whatever, but I have 0 interest in seeing him as a regular character and I sure as hell don't want to see him risking what's left of his health on a match that helps nobody.

When Andre the Giant couldn't stand up under his own power it was still treated like an epic feat to beat him. Andre was literally one of the largest men on the planet, that's why it still worked for him to be this unbeatable guy in a pro wreslting context. Hogan's a big guy but it's mostly the pythons, brother. He's tall but not crazy tall. He probably doesn't outweigh Cena by much these days, if at all. I agree, it would look silly for Cena to struggle to beat him. And you're not going to have Hulk Hogan get squashed in his ONE MORE MATCH, even though in a way that would be really funny. I'm not sure who Hogan could wrestle and it not be a farce, unless it was a fellow old guy like Ric Flair.

Looks like somebody wants his win back HHH beat Hogan on an episode of Smackdown, so the only win HHH would need back is from the Ultimate Warrior (and Devon). I'd like to see Hulk back in the WWE. He should end his career there and I think HHH would definitely allow it to happen seeing as how the company has gotten back in good terms with a lot of older talent recently (Bruno, Warrior, etc). Also seeing as hulk would be a pro and not come out in a drunken stupor like flair or be too old and mushmouthed like bruno. He would be perfect promoting wwe out there

I'm a huge Cena fan, but I would pay good money to see Hulk Hogan come back and kick his ass. Actually CM Punk losing to Hulk be a dream come true.
