HULK HOGAN SAYS HE 'APPARENTLY' DOES NOT WORK FOR WWE ANYMORE, CLAIMS VH-1 ASKED HIM TO RUN A WRESTLING COMPANY, TNA, VINCE RUSSO & MORE
by Mike Johnson @ 4:55:00 PM on 2/8/2007
Jagger Kaye sent the following:
Hulk Hogan was on Bubba the Love Sponge this afternoon discussing the death of Anna Nicole Smith. He noted that he hung out with her at the last UFC in Florida, that she was "wobbling" all over and the hotel said she was "incoherent" checking in. Hogan claimed the press was trying to reach him since he and Smith recently posed for pictures together, but he instead called Bubba.
Bubba then said plenty of wrestling sites listen to his show and report on what they say. Bubba noted "the wrestling community is in an uproar:" over Hogan possibly going to TNA. Hulk said he never spoke with Dixie directly but his lawyer might have.
Hogan noted that Bubba gets him into trouble on the air and he received heat regarding the WWE Hall of Fame phone call from Vince McMahon's secretary that went out over the air. Bubba mentioned that was more Hogan's fault.
The subject changed to TNA possibly making a play for Big Show Pail Wight. Hogan said he received heat over the fact that when he was at UFC the crowd constantly chanted "Hogan, Hogan" during the matches.
Hogan also mentioned VH-1 made him an offer to start a promotion. He claimed VH-1 asked for "Hogan Knows Best" to film 20 episodes but he agreed to only 12. VH-1 pitched ideas for three different pilots including a Hogan-run wrestling company. Bubba brought up the fact that if VH-1 would get with both Hogan and TNA, "it would be unstoppable."
Hogan brought up that he felt the biggest angle in wrestling could be Hogan vs. Vince Russo. Hogan said he is not involved in Wrestlemania 23 and began goofing on the fact Bubba hates WWE and Vince would not give him wrestlers as guest. Hulk said "I apparently do not work there anymore"
That last paragraph is kinda interesting in away. All I have to say WTF.

This is too funny to even put a punchline on. Hogan is one delusional jaded moron.

A Hogan-run wrestling company? A wonder how many years he would have the belt? If you all thought Triple H and Jarrett were bad with the spotligh. Hogan will take it to a new level. HWF = Hogan Wrestling Federation "You job to my atomic leg drop or I will bury your ass!" |

Yep because the internet simply cannot deal with people actually LIKING Hulk Hogan. I have no knowledge of this UFC incident, but, I gaurantee that if Hulk Hogan ran into a burning orphanage and drug out 100 children and puppies, the IWC would say the fire was only started by Hogan to feed his ego, and as a way of holding down the midcard. |

Bingo. Same old song and dance. That's why I smile when internet smarks cry. |

Hulk Hogan put wrestling in the mainstream and is still one of the biggest names ever. I respect what he has done for the business and he was one of my favorite wrestlers growing up but I still think he is a dumbass.

When I read this I pictured Hogan coming to the ring with "Real American" done up by Nickelback. |

It never fails. In EVERY Hogan thread you have a conflict between smarks and anti-smarks (who, ironically, are smarks themselves). In the end, it's all for the same reason--people want others to like and dislike the same things that they do. Hell, that's the only reason people share opinions in the first place. It's kind of absurd when you think about it. But that's enough overanalyzing.
In regards to the topic itself: while I think Hogan deserves his popularity and place in the wrestling business (I probably wouldn't have become a wrestling fan without his presence), he's said some pretty crazy and egotistical stuff over the years. He deserves to be called out on the stuff he's said, and doing so does not make one less (or more) of a wrestling fan, though that's obvious to any rational person.
