Would You Like To See Hulk Hogan Return For One Last Run With The WWE?

[PlayTheGame]

Now, I know he's sort of doing his thing with CCW right now, but the guy obviously loves wrestling and has really not tried to ever distance himself from the business... and... it's not like he's really doing anything of much purpose these days. I really feel that, if he got used to the WWE legend schedule (HBK/'Taker's light schedule), he could return to the WWE for maybe a little under a year and put on a few more matches and really help WWE ratings out. I mean, Flair wrestled into his 60's (without stopping either), whereas Hogan is still in his 50's and is still in good shape. Now I'm not saying he should be brought back to win a world title, maybe not even any title at all, but he obviously doesnt need it for a return, and a Hulkamania Reunion Tour would just be awesome. He could have some really cool matches too- Hogan vs Cena, Hogan vs HHH, Hogan vs Undertaker, Hogan vs Batista, Hogan vs ANYBODY just sounds EPIC when you think about it. Question: Can you honestly say that if you Hogan wrestling someone on Raw next Monday night, you wouldnt be glued to the TV and watch the entire segment? You would, and you know it. Now I know he wouldnt put on great/long matches, but really, has he ever? Its just the spectacle of a Hogan match that makes it awesome. He IS wrestling, and with possibly his last shot at doing it, why not have one last hurrah? Would you like to see it happen?

[LEGEND KILLER]

this would be a dream come true....i cant get enough of hogan and WWE needs to realise he has to be a part of Wrestlemania 25 just to give it that magic it needs....ok i hear you hogan haters complaining he cant wrestle, he is slow, old blah blah...same 3-4 moves....well Cena is a 3-4 move wrestler, Steve Austin cant wrestle anymore, Ric Flair is old......bottom line is Cena, Austin, Flair can all STILL DRAW and draw huge....so can HOGAN....bring him in for WRESTLEMANIA Vince...its the right thing to do...he has already stated he would be there if he could.....

With that in mind if they both agree to Hogan at Mania i dont forsee him making anymore than a 1-time appearance bc of CCW etc. I would go nuts to see it though!

Hogan Vs Cena

Hogan Vs Orton

another Hogan Vs HHH

Hogan Vs Undertaker legend match!

another Hogan Vs Micheals

Hogan Vs Kozlov

Hogan Vs Swagger

Hogan Vs Edge

Hogan Vs Jericho (im begging that Hogan will be the "legends" saviour at wrestlemania and fight against Jericho with Flair as referee....you heard it here first if it happens i called it..unless i didnt see or hear someone else write it)

endless possibilities!

[klunderbunker]

If he can come back at the same level that he was when he was around last tiem, absolutely. Most of the time I would say absolutely not, but this is Hulk Hogan. Love him or hate him, if you were at a show and his music came on and the legend himself walked out, you would mark the fuck out. It's not like his shape has to be excellent to pull off a match. It consists of a very simple pattern. One more maybe 3 month run would be fine by me. The pops would be through the roof. Why not?

[jmudbake]

I personally never EVER liked Hulk Hogan.

I respect what he did for the business, but he was never anything special in the ring for me...

Didn't he already have one last run in from 2002-2006? It annoys me everyone always wants "one more run" from everyone.

[London_Legacy]

How back coming back to form a new stable to teach the Legacy a lesson? A legends stable with the likes of HBK, Taker, HHH and maybe even Flair? Or is it too much like the Millionaires Club/New Blood from Vince Russo's WCW?

[RoseFire8183]

Absolutley not. He was the origanator of the 4 move wrestler IMO. And hes finisher never was entertaining to me , not even when i was little and he was big time over i still enjoyed watching brett or rick or the warrior. i think he is a clear example of the right time right push. And to answer klunderbunkers quesion if i was in the house and came out i would either just chill or more likely go get snacks.

[pepentorresHHH]

i always have liked Hogan, i believe that without him maybe wrestling today wouldnt exist but hes in his 50s and in his prime he was much more emotion than wrestling, so if by comeback you mean to have 1 to 3 return matches billed as one time appearences like RVD does i would absolutely watch but when it comes to a schedule similar to the one Taker has i would not like to see Hogan, i mean he is slow and i personally dont like he s wrestling style, for example to bring back the Hogan of 2002 then maybe but bringing the Hogan from the HBK or Randy Orton Feud who couldnt even move and when the opponent had to do all the work in order to sell the match then i would not like to see Hogan coming back as this type of performances actually hurt his legacy.

[Holy Crush The Hidden World Down Dragon]

Yes of course why not? The guy can produce massive publicity and like him or not, put on a damn good show. Hulk Hogan is just one of those guys that never get's boring, like KB pointed out everybody marks and smark would MTFO and why shouldn't they because Hogan is that type of guy we always want to see. Hogan is arguably the most famous wrestler in the world so the WWE would get massive ratings and media coverage. Why so you think every year or so we hear some kind of rumours about Hogan doing some kind of stint? I'ts because the guy never get's boring to the fans and the WWE makes a lot of cash because of Hogan. So I would definately want to see Hogan come back one last time.

[cityofrain]

No. Wouldn't like it at all. It's over...let it go. It's a big enough stretch to have Austin come back let alone Hogan. Since the torch was passed to The Rock (Rock vs. Hogan Match). I do think that The Rock owes it to wrestling to do one more match versus whoever they want to pass the torch to again. I would vote Orton even though they would probably use Cena.

[DJ-LyRiX]

It's the strange thing with Hulk Hogan, and I can best sum it up with the infamous Summerslam match he had with Shawn Michaels a few years back.

HBK went totally over the top. He flipped, flew and fell every time Hogan so much as breathed on him. Yet I was going nuts. I was dying for Hogan to pin his shoulders to the mat, as a fan at least, because HBK had become something I didn't want him to be. Hogan was, as he nearly always has done, fighting for the good side, trying to change something. The psychology behind the match was perfect, even if the match itself was not.

This is what Hogan brings to the table. He is the master of making a match mean something. If Hogan is in the ring, you ALWAYS pay attention.

Hogan + WM = HUGE buy-rates. Simple as.

I think one last run for Hogan would inevitably mean one more title run. Why else would he (kayfabe) want to come back? He could say "I'm still the best, and I'm here to prove it". If Vickie's still in charge, get her to make him EARN his way back up, giving SO MANY wrestlers a rub off Hulkamania along the way. People like John Morrison, MVP, Mr. Kennedy etc.

It could end with a title shot vs. retirement, or something similar. Hogan could win the title at a big event, such as WM26, and then retire it. A HUGE tournament would then take place to find the new champion, making new match-ups towards the gold.

Hogan coming in would be HUGE business for WWE, but would benefit them far wider than just another face on the roster if WWE want him to.

[Jordan adams]

yes i would love to see hogan for one more run , I still have hope for hogan vs austin at some point

[thesacredcow]

I can't think of one reason to bring Hogan back for what must be his 4th or 5th 'one last run'. Talking about the 'dream matches' with Cena etc. is all well and good, but lets be honest, when you think of Hogan vs. Cena you picture the Hulk Hogan from the 80s, in his prime at the top of his (limited) game. You don't picture a 55 year old man who can barely move and looks like he's been soaked in varnish. It's a nice idea on paper, but to be honest, I'd rather see a quality matches at Wrestlemania, and there's no way Hogan can deliver that. You'd probably see a better match if it was a cardboard cutout of Hogan. At least then there's a chance the cutout might put his opponent over.

[Pat Preezy]

No more Hogan. He's done it all. We don't need him as a champion

[kenvin100]

What's with everyone and Hulk Hogan? 1) His era is LONG OVER! The torch has been passed many, many, MANY years ago. 2) I really dont want to see another old, aging and flabby wrestler in the WWE. I really never knew who the "kiss stealin, wheel dealing" Ric Flair was back in the day since I only started to watch wrestling during the attitude era. All I will truly remember of Flair is an old aging man who really needs to retire! I really dont think I want to see Hogan in the ring, I admit the Rock-Hogan match was "Electrifying" but again his time is done. If Hogan does return to the WWE, it proves that the WWE is still not ready to move on. They put the fate of this franchaise on a young man named John Cena..he's the new "Hogan." We dont need the old one anymore!

[TimetoShine]

Anyone remember the ovation Hogan received the Monday Night Raw after facing The Rock at Wrestlemania? If I remember right, the ovation went for almost 20 minutes, the fans did not even let Hogan speak, he cried, I cried, who would not love to see something like that again?

[randy ortons #1 fan]

yes it needs to be done one more time and then vince needs to tell hogan to move on. i just got the hogan dvd (i know it came out a few years ago) and it makes me want one more match from him cause i have never watched a live hogan match ive seen them elsewere but not at the time it was happening. he does not need another title run that would be stupid. if austin wont wrestle jericho than hogan needs to. actaully i think it should be hogan facing jericho cause that way they can have jericho win and give him a semi push. but if its austin vs jericho austin has too win .

[thesacredcow]

I don't think that Hogan would get a 20 minute ovation from a WWE crowd today. Yes it was special, and thats exactly why it won't happen again, because it was a special moment, one that i don't think hogan can recreate. He'd spent the entire month before doing everything in his power to make people hate him. The nWo attacked Austin, they ran an 18 wheeler into an ambulancet with The Rock in it, and the people still cheered Hogan. Then he had a great match with The Rock at Wrestlemania, and turned face after. Add in to that the fact Hogan had been absent from a WWF ring for what nearly 8 years, with six of those years spent with the company that tried to run the WWF out of business. It was a unique moment that Hogan will never be able to recreate. As far as I'm concerned Hogan should have announced his retirement right after his win over Triple H at Backlash, gone out on top. Nothing Hogan did after that mattered.

[Esteban Ochocinco]

Yeah, I love Hogan, but he shouldn't come back to the WWE for any type of run. If he wants to do a one time shot, I have no problem with that, but to expect a near 60 year old man with the frame that he still carries to be able to do anything week in and week out besides pose is expecting too much.

I love the Hulkster, but his time has come and gone. He's passed the torch many times, and the people that he passed it too simply didn't work out. That's no fault of Hogans. Would I like his last match to be something other then Randy Orton at Summerslam, sure. But Hogan isn't Flair. Flair's career was made by losing to guys, which he did. Hogan's career was beating guys, and you can't have Hogan go over a guy like Cena at this point without damaging Cena.

["Cool Guy" Jensen]

One more RUN in WWE for Hogan wouldn't be the best idea. Hulk Hogan obviously knows that he was and still is one of WWE's biggest stars and is not afraid to let WWE know how much he feels he is worth. With that being said, WWE would be wasting a lot of money hiring Hulk Hogan in a contract that wouldn't even last too long. I think it would be smarter for WWE to allow Hogan to wrestle sporadic matches, without having to spend so much money offering him a 1-year contract. Also, if he did return for one last run, it would have to be so that he could put over some of the younger stars, but knowing Hogan... that wouldn't happen. He'd probably want another run with the World Championship.

[TheOneBigWill]

NO.

Ric Flair has more mobility within his body than Hulk Hogan does, and can still run with the best of them. Yet people bitch and moan about Flair sticking around. So why on earth is it now suddenly a great idea for a guy who can't move like Flair, and has quite possibly the same mobility, if not worse, than Piper.. to give him a "last time run" within the company? Are you fucking kidding me?

Here's an idea, let's put Chavo in a Black Tiger mask and parade him around as Eddie who's come back from the grave. That should get about as much pop from me as seeing Hulk Hogan return for another run.

And besides that, Hogan doesn't like putting people over. Why on earth would he want to return with the class of athletes thats in the federation now? He didn't put Orton over at Summerslam a couple years back, nor did he put H.B.K. over at the same show, before that. So why would he suddenly want to put someone else over thats below them?

Hulk Hogan v. John Cena has money written all over it, but it'd be the world's worst, most awful match, ever. Because Hogan can barely move these days. He's not in the same shape he was back in the 90's.

People need to just let this go. Hulk Hogan needs to stay gone, and all the other Legend's and Hall of Famer's need to follow him into that bright sunset.

[Kliq]

I just want to see Hogan in a wrestling ring period. Whether that be a match, or a promo, I really hope he can work something out, especially at the very least for Wrestlemania.

[chrisbrown0621]

of coarse that would be great i mean who would not want to see the GREAST WRESTLER IN THE WORLD PERIOD.IT DONT MATTER IF HE IS 6 OR 60 HE IS STILL AND WILLALWAYS BE THE GREATEST OF ALL TIME

[GNR8701]

NO WAY NOT AT ALL!!!!!!!!!! NEVER!!!!!!!!! PLEASE STOP WITH THIS!!!!!!!!!!! SICK OF HOGAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Why in the world would WWE need a 60 year old man with 10 total moves including taunts who by the way would have final say over if he were to win the match or not?

Any one who is a cena-hater then you would be the biggest hypocrite of life to root for hogan when he is Cena X 100. If you hate cena because he has a 5-move set and held the belt for a year and never loses his matches then understand that Hogan is even worse than that.

I am sick and tired of the Greediest man in wrestling history always getting one last run. IT IS OVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OKAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

How can any wrestler of today credibly lose to a 60-year old.

Jaime noble would be able to whoop hogans ass in a real fight nowadays.

If hogan comes on the TV at WM 25 im making a fridge run because you know he is going to win the match and Im not going to watch a man old enough to be a grandpa beat a 30 something-year old wrestler in the middle of his prime.

[Diablosbomb]

I respect Hogan for making the WWE what it is today, but hell no would i want to see him come back. He is boring in the ring, boring on the mic, and has never done anything amazing in the ring. If I was watching RAW and he came out it would be either my piss break or my snack refill time. And if it happened for a few weeks in a row, it would probably turn into my time to change the channel to watch something actually entertaining during that time.

[Hulkster4Life]

Hell yeah HULKAMANIA LIVES FOREVER! It would never get old and Hogan would draw way more ratings then John Cena or anyone else in wrestling right now. His last match was against Randy Ortan at Summerslam, and he beat him fair in quare, I'd like to see a nice rematch with them since Ortan is at the top of his game now. Would be great for Summerslam this yr!

[chief]

I think it would be fantastic, but only if it was really short. Like from Wrestlemania through to Summerslam. It would be great to have him interfere in the Y2J angle, maybe with Y2J finally ending Hulkamania at Summerslam. But with a dignified ending for the Hulkster, just like the one Ric Flair got (not the big goodbye the day after) but maybe with Y2J showing his respect after the match, and turning face.

Just a thought.
I would mark out if REAL AMERICAN suddenly hit on Raw next week, everyone would! Going back and watching moments when that song hit unexpectedly were great moments!

[chanfan304]

Come on, I don't care how much people mark out over Hogan, even they know in their own mind he's a pile of monkey crap. He had two moves, a punch and a leg drop. For fluke's sake, he was the most boring person to watch wrestle period. You would have thought that he was either blowing Vince, or that he was married to one of McMahon's family mem.... oh, wait. Wrong "H" wrestler. My bad. Hogan was past his prime back in the 80's. That's why they put the Warrior over him in 'Mania 6, and why the Undertaker became so popular. Undertaker was supposed to be the "epitomy of evil", but he came out and beat the crap out of Hogan on a regular basis, so people started cheering the guy. It was the equivalent of satan coming up from the underworld and biting the head off of George W. Bush. Sure, it's satan and he's the prince of darkness, but damn! He bit of Dubbyas head! Face pops in anybody's book. So yeah, screw Hogan, screw Hulkamania, the only thing I would like to see if it did happen was what another poster mentioned about him coming back and an individual with true talent, Jericho, ended Hulkamania and sent him packing. But forget the face turn. It would be much better if the snide, bitter, heel Jericho ended it. I would drink a case of beer and run naked through the streets all while being videotaped for my posting on youtube. And no comebacks either! Kill it off for good and keep it buried. Damn, it's/he's been annoying for decades.

[Pbenglish]

So long as he came back and didn't somehow get a run with the title, like he did back in 2002, then I wouldn't have a problem with him coming back. I think the problem with Hogan is that he thinks he IS the business, and for some reason he has been catered to that way, especially in the last 10 years or so of his career.
Can he come back and still be part of the show? Sure, why not. But he should not be the focal point of it.

[drondog]

Please GOD IN HEAVEN don't like Hogan back in, he's the worst backstage politician ever! He'll do nothing but wanna use his "creative control" and be pain in the a$$ like always. Hogan is over the hill yea his physique is in good shape other than that he's shot he limps can't take a bump and he only has like 5 moves which is NOT gonna get him over of course he'll get loud pops and be a favorite but me personally I'll TURN THE DAMN TV OFF!!!

[PDepew2181]

I am the biggest Hulk Hogan fan I know, but I begged for him to retire 3 years ago when he wrestled Orton at SummerSlam.

Personally, I actually think he'd be the best choice to wrestle Jericho at WrestleMania right now. That's until I remember that Hogan is not a great wrestler and probably has zero chemistry in the ring with Jericho, too. He'd also never lose to Jericho, but at the same time, I'm not sure they've decided where they're going with this angle yet. I really don't want to see Jericho wrestle Flair because it kind of ruins everything they did last year with Flair's retirement. At the same time, I don't know of any other legend who could go with Jericho in the ring even reasonably. Unless Steamboat is still in some kind of ring shape, which I doubt.

Kind of getting off topic here, though it goes to explain my feelings, this is just another case of WWE counting the money before it was earned. They just knew that Mickey Rourke would agree to wrestle Jericho and that would be a publicity gainer. Vince once again underestimated how wrestling is truly viewed by the greater public, and certainly by the Hollywood community who are pretty elite (and this is coming from a liberal who commonly defends Hollywood, but just look at this years Academy Awards nominees and you'll see what I mean, if you follow these things, that is). Mickey Rourke wants to have his acting comeback, which you certainly can't begrudge him, and so is listening to the people who know these things. So we are now stuck with a storyline that can't end well because it will either a) end with Jericho losing to an over the hill legend, which won't make Jericho look good or, b) proving Jericho right on every point he has made, which is pretty insulting to every wrestling fan everywhere.

So that's why I'd like to see Hogan wrestle Jericho. Because losing to Hogan probably wouldn't hurt Jericho all that much, and it would have a feelgood ending to the storyline.

Actually, when you come right down to it, Jericho should be wrestling The Undertaker. I believe I saw someone on here make that point a while back, but it would really make the most sense at this point. Sadly, we're going to get Michaels against Undertaker, which, while it may be fun, is again, fairly pointless.

But as far as Hogan having one last "run," I think that happened in '02-'03. He can still come in an do an occasional appearance, maybe even a match depending on the circumstances, but WWE needs to focus on making the new stars. Remember, Michaels and Undertaker have to be nearing the end of their time. JBL is up there in age, as are Batista and Kane. Triple H, Edge, Jericho and Big Show are mid to late 30's now. We know Orton and Cena will be around, but who will follow them? That is what WWE should focus on the most. Make us care about guys like CM Punk, Kofi Kingston, MVP, Shelton Benjamin, John Morrison, Cody Rhodes, Ted DiBiase, Evan Bourne, Jack Swagger, whoever, so that when they're on the top, we're still watching.

[Vee Dub Represent]

Although I dont mind him coming back to do the big shows, there really doesnt seem to be a point to him wrestling every week for a short term run. The way he is built up, the only way for him to compete full time would be for him to go after the belt "one last time". And there is no need for it. The way he moves now he should be nowhere near the title. On a sidenote I kind of enjoyed how his last big "one last run" ended in 2003 (not including that horrific Mr America crap), with Brock Lesnar ragdolling the shit out of him. As far as I know noone ever got to destroy Hogan quite like that and it was fun to watch.

[avi01]

I`m feeling Hogan will be the one facing Jericho at WM. He did say he is in talk with Vince concerning an involvement at Wm. This is not something I want to see.

[chrisbrown0621]

hey gnr8701
YOU DUMM ASS BASTARD HOGAN CAN HAVE A RUN ANYTIME HE WANTS WHEATHER HE IS 5 OR 75 BECAUSE HE IS AND ALWAYS BE THE GREAST OF ALL TIME YOU SAY HE HAS ONLY 5 MOVES THATS OK THAT SHOWS YOU HOW GREAT HE IS 5 MOVES TOOK HIM TO THE TOP AND KEPT HIM THERE FOROVER 20 YEARS AND MADE HIM WITHOUT A DOUT THE GREATEST OF ALL TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!! IF IT WAS NOT FOR HOGAN THERE WOULD NOT BE A WWF OR ANY PRO WRESTING 4 THAT MATTER HE MADE WRESTLING HE HAS BEATIN MORE STARS THAN ANY BODY LOOK IT UP IN THE ALMANAC HE ALSO LED THE GREASTEST FORCE IN WRESTLING HISTORY NWO NWO NWO
HE MAKES THE MOST BECAUSE HE DRAWS THE MOST

[mont3818]

Didn't Hogan already return for one last run back in 2002? This has been done over and over and beaten into the ground. I would like him to have 2-4 more matches though, with possibly two of those putting over younger guys. His image was tarnished from his last two matches with HBK (refusing to fight him unless HBK was heel and he won the match) and with Orton (complaining about the low payoff he got from it and it was just a... horrible match).

So a couple more matches to save his image would be good. One with a legend (Stone Cold) , and three with three young bucks (rematch w/ Orton, Jericho, and Edge).

Oh yeah and it would be cool to see him tag team w/ Cena a couple times again! They're practically the same person, just completely different eras. And they're both kid friendly for their stupid PG rating.

[IamRage]

Look, the ol fucker aint guna quit completely until he just simply cant do it. He sucked at fatherhood, marriage, n Hollywood. Its all he's good at. He'll b there its the 25th anv. of sumthin he helped start. Y not? Its 1 more match we get to watch.

Oh come on! Hogan can barely walk, let alone have another "run". Why Hogan was popular is beyond me, other than excellent marketing. I think there are VERY few hard core wrestling fans who could ever stand the guy. He appealed to the kiddies more than anything. Pro wrestling existed before him and would exist today very nicely if Hogan had never existed. Think about it this way..Terry didn't invent Hulk Hogan...someone created it for him. He himself has never "beaten" anyone...its a script dude. Finally, he never LED anything...he was an actor playing a role. Hulk Hogan is a character, and a pretty shoddy one at that. The masses have always been drawn to small talent performers who just happen to be very well marketed. Do I want to see Hogan come back? NO...I never wanted him to exist in the first place! I have always felt he made pro wrestling clownish. Just my opinion, and you are fully entitled to yours.

[Arrynboot]

Chanfan 304 you seem to have forgotten his sloppy looking boot to the face, he actually has 3 moves in his set. That's 33 percent more to a Hulk match!

[The_Phoenix]

Plainly and simply put, HELL TO THE NUH UH, HELLZ NO. Aside from the fact that I am not a huge Hogan fan, there's a bigger reason behind my answer. It's not that I don't want to see him as champion, nor the fact that he is a politician in the locker room. Hell it's not even about anything comparable to Ric Flair or any other "past his prime" performer.

Think about this, really sit back and think of it. The 20 minute ovation on the RAW after Rock vs Hogan, would it really have been that huge if the fans knew that it really wasn't the last time they'd see Hogan? Every time they bring him back for another run it becomes less and less special. Eventually it's gonna get to the point to where fans are of the opinion "he'll be back when he gets bored or when Vince wants a quick way to increase buyrates" or something VERY similar.

Plainly put, NO I would not under any circumstances like to see Hogan back in the WWE for "one last" run.

How back coming back to form a new stable to teach the Legacy a lesson? A legends stable with the likes of HBK, Taker, HHH and maybe even Flair? Or is it too much like the Millionaires Club/New Blood from Vince Russo's WCW?

WWE's version the Main Event Mafia? Do we really need parallel story lines going on between WWE and TNA? TNA is struggling because the "old lions" are burying the "young lions". WWE is beginning to see the big picture and developing the young guys to take over when the likes of Taker and HBK take their respective final bows. The ratings don't lie, and TNA has no excuse for being behind. The talent is there, it's a matter of 1.) Creative not using said talent and/or 2.) talents being released or not renewed simply because they don't know what to do with them anymore (Petey Williams, Jimmy Rave, presumably Sonjay Dutt, etc. which IMO is a major blow to the only thing TNA has one up on WWE in, that being the X-Division)

[supergav67]

All I can say is,if I was standing in the ring at the end of CCW & he told me to "Get outta my ring Jabroni!".Id remind him of the reason of his divorce -allegedly,kick his bad knee & run away very fast.And brother,If I can do that,anyone,& I mean AnyonE from Triple H to Fu Naki can do the same!
Lets get it out the way.The guy,s a legend.The best period of WWF,WCW & TV wrestling today is down to him..If HoF had room for one name.,he is IT.BuT for better or worse,WWE can go on without him,at times I wonder if he realises that.
On Hogans Knows Best.short lived Gladiators & CCW he HaS to remind everyone "Im Hulk Hogan" regardless of the conversation & not even his ,wife ever said "No youre not Terry".Even Dwayne understood that.
Its great that he still embraces the WWE lifestyle,but what else can he do.After a few more shit movies maybe Dwayne (not-Rock) ,ll do the same.
Pimping his daughter,doing something similar to his daughters friend-allegedly,& talking like youre still going to take on Andre tomorrow He,s in danger of crossing the line beetween fans favourite & sad joke.
Sure,I dont see anything wrong with special,guest,special referee,type appearances but valuable member of Roster.? :hogan:I think even Terry knows those days are over.Right now Vince seamingly cant afford a Simmons DAMN ,let alone a EAT YOUR VITAMINS speech.

[streicher187]

NO not while Linda would still get half lol..

[Blade]

No.
There's only so many "surprise returns" he can do without it getting just stupid. He should be working at helping the industry (which CCW arguably does) and making himself some sort of ambassador for wrestling.... Well, you know what I mean.

Last time he was in the ring in WWE he really didn't look so good. And that was back in 2005 I believe. Imagine how bad he'd be now, 4 years older and with years of ring rust. It just wouldn't be good. I don't think anyone in the WWE is good enough to carry him to a good match now. Not HBK, not Jericho, no one.
Plus I don't wanna see his disgusting leathery body ever again.

But it would be good for ratings. But at the moment, WWE don't need much to help their ratings, they're doing fine.

[lefty1876]

Seeing Hulk Hogan wrestle again would be painful to watch. I agree no one could carry him through a match at this point. I mean the Hulk v Rock match from several years ago wasn't very good, I cant imagine what a match with him in it would look like. Also, putting Hulk in this years WM25 against Jericho is not SURPRISING, we hear about him possibly appearing every WM. It is WM25 and WWE needs to do something huge and surprising, just not Hogan. Bring back the Warrior, now that would surprise people and he is still in great shape and could totally whoop Jericho's ass in that fued. Or even Sycho Sid. They need to bring someone from off the radar that is actually believable that they can beat Jericho. Sorry getting off subject. No Hogan, not one more run, not one more match, period!

I really think Hogan's time in WWE is done. Somebody earlier had a good idea of having Hogan be the one to stand up for all the legends and shut up Chris Jericho but I don't think it will happen. There's too much friction between him and the McMahons to constitute a return. That's a shame, too, because when Hogan was bickering with WWE, Ric Flair was getting the send-off he deserved. Hogan could have had that, too. He could still have it, but I don't see it happening right now.

YES! YES! YES! It's "good for business"! Thats what Vinny Mac would say...I hope. Hogan was insrumental in building the popularity of this sport and the pillar of Wrestlemanias past. Whether he is wilted and wrinkled, old and broken, or young and fast I will smark the fuck out(Sorry I ripped your quote but its great) at the sight of Hogan and the sound of that entrance music! Incomplete is the only word I can use to explain the feeling I will have if at the 25th anniversary of Wrestlemania Hulkamaina doesn't get to run wild...or crawl...even if he uses a walker to get to the ring and only wrestles for 5 min, it will be worth it just to have his presence there. And while we are at it why not throw in a guy named Stone Cold Steve Austin?!

hes not coming back for an actuall match its all rumors. one last match would be ok. i bet its austin vs jericho cause i think austin knows WE the fans deserve one last match from him. he has changed his workout from just working out to actally training (rumors) cause why would he change his workout for a movie cause he didnt train like that while filming his last movie. fuck hogan if he fights jericho he shouldnt go over but that wont happen if jericho and hogan fight happens. now austin on the other hands would deserve to go over on jericho cause they have way more chemistry in the ring and it would be his last match were as hogan is just boring and didnt deserve some of the times he went over cause its hogans way or they highway plain and simple

I would like to see Hogan at wrestlemania 25, maybe in a gimmick battle royal or something but i don't want to see him back on tv every week.

[restinpeace]

As much of a legend tht hogan is why tarnish his reputation by coming back again. The man needs a zimmer frame to get around the ring these days, and with tht being the case how good can his matches be? In my opinion he should stop wrestling and keep his appearances to working a mic!

[Queers and Steers]

Hell no!!! i mean its like he would put over any body while there so it would be pointless! i mean the guy only ever let two people get over on him(warrior and the rock wm6, wm18 both in Toronto sky dome) besides hes lousy as hell! all hes good at is "Hulking up" and dlexing and pointed towards the fans

Hell yes I would, of course. One last time, while I can fully enjoy it, I would LOVE to see the greatest wrestler of all time preform. He can cut the classic Hulkster promos, and still work a crowd with the best of them. Id love to see him work with Cena, Edge, Batista, and the like.

Not withstanding the electricity he'd get from the crowd, because I firmly believe they'd pop for almost any big name from yester-year. However, I don't believe Hogan has one more match in him. He couldn't hardly work against Randy Orton a couple years ago, and time doesn't exactly GIVE you energy and strength, it takes it away. Especially once you reach your prime and head for the decline.

At most, I don't think Hulk Hogan will ever be worth bringing back, except for promos only. ONLY. And he could have electric promos with Steve Austin for all I care, but if I ever see another Hulk Hogan match, especially with how bad he is now.. I think it'll only hurt the Immortality of the character.

If I'm forced to remember Hulk Hogan as one of the greatest of all times, I wanna remember him for the guy that could actually MOVE inside a wrestling ring.. not barely take two steps and get winded, or break a hip.

I love Hogan I think he is one of the 5 best of all time and Wrestling would not be the same today without him, but with that being said I don't want to see him come back full time for one last run. I wouldn't mind seeing him come back every now and then especially if it was at a Wrestlemania against Austin but that match is very unlikely to happen. If he came back now yes, he would get huge pops and it would be kind of fun to see him go against some of the stars the E has right now but to me it would just be a rehash of his run he had from mania 18-19. To me that was the perfect final run for Hogan he passed the torch to the rock, won the World Title, wrestled taker again and then capped it off with a match with Vince at Wrestlemania 19.
