I'll give you that one. Hogan turning heel was a big part of it since he was a face for so long and so iconic as a face that him as a bad guy was just shocking. But Hogan wasn't the entire nWo, he had Hall and Nash there and those guys were quite popular at the time as well. And the way they were booked was different than most stables around at the time, especially once Bischoff joined and they were in control Granted, the nWo was better with Hall and Nash then without them. But it succeeded without them. Every incarnation of the nWo without HOLLYWOOD HULK HOGAN failed miserably. |

He's also there because he's on good terms for not demanding absolutely batshit amounts of cash for trivial amounts of TV work that are complete non-issues to most people outside of seeing him flex his muscles.

Vince made the right choice. Wow. Go away, Hogan. There are plenty of guys better than you & that deserve a better payday than you. You skulleted old coot. Until one come along that can outdraw HOLLYWOOD HULK HOGAN (of which now there are none) you claims remain false. |

If you mean outdrawing Hogan in his best day, that won't happen. Expecting someone to do that is absurd. If you mean outdraw him TODAY? People do that now. Wait, I already told you this and you don't seem to want to hear it. Where the hell did the reasonable Hogan fans go? Get Godz back in here.

Ok after reading the thread. I no longer care if I see Hogan in the WWE again. If I want to watch Hogan I'll watch the anthology set I got.

SCSA out drew Hogan. In his time there. So just think if SCSA wouldn't have gotten that botched tombstone. Hogan would be begging to work with SCSA.

Hogan doesn't need the money. Good for Vince on not giving in. There isnt anything Hogan could come in and do that'll have people clammoring anymore. Sure, they get nostalgic to see him but they don't actually CARE what he does. And on the other side, it makes wrestling look even dumber that this old, immobile coot can come in and in his first match in like 2 years beats a 25 year old former world champ. That Orton feud was the biggest f***ing debacle the WWE has done in a good while. I don't care if Hogan ever comes back.

For the love of....Look man I like seeing Hogan around too, but for the love of all thats good stop calling him Hollywood Hulk Hogan in caps. It makes me skip over all your posts man. Yes me too, but I'm not annoyed I see it as a helpful piece of assistance, as soon as I see it I know I can keep on scrolling. But in any event this isn't Vince wanting to share the money out more fairly, he just wants to give Hogan less. You think he's going to go to the other performers on the card and say "Good news, I've secured you more money" Of course he's not. Hogan knows his worth and at his age and condition he's sticking to that religiously, and who can blame him. Sure Hogan's rich but if you were rich would you work for a BILLIONAIRE for free or less than you think you're worth? No of course you wouldn't, nor would I if I were in Hogan's position. To me this is about ego, I think the rot in Hogan/McMahon's relationship probably set in around the same time HHH woke up and thought "hey, Hogan gets bigger pops than me". I mean, who can forget the frankly embarrassing episode at Summerslam when HHH virtually spent 10 minutes trying to outpop him (and failing miserably amusingly enough) at Summerslam? Now suddenly Hogan's just "another guy". Since when? Look at these last two Summerslams where Hogan has been the top advertised draw for each show and the buyrates they did are fantastic. He is not just another "it guy" (what the hell does that mean anyway?) but rather THE it guy. However it will be Vince and not Hogan who will be embarrassed because of this. Just think about the venue, the occasion. I would guess a LOT of tickets for that event went to people wanting to a) see wrestlemania and b) see Hulk Hogan. If you went down to the line of people queueing up at the box office for tickets and asked them which performer they were most looking forward to seeing I bet most would have said Hogan. I bet there will be "We Want Hogan" chants as most people would have wanted to see Hogan there. They'll almost certainly crap all over the Lashley/Umaga thing and the Khali match as those are the two widely speculated that Hogan would participate in. So yeah, this isn't Vince standing up to the big bad Hogan, it's Vince trying to save money and convincing himself that he doesn't need who is probably the biggest individual reason for the majority of people to buy tickets to the event to be at Wrestlemania. |
