In a new interview with IGN from ComicCon this weekend, Hogan AGAIN says that he is turning good. Hogan says that he's starting to feel the red and yellow vibe coming over, so watch about...um October. I think I might start hulking up in October."
HAHAHAHA!!!!! This is too funny, Hogan goes and says he's going back to red and yellow...oh boo freaking hoo, now the storyline has been spoiled and the whole world has been thrown off its axis. Actually expect December 12, 2012 to be moved up to like right now. The world is preparing to end because Hogan went and said something that he already said weeks ago and that most of us saw coming anyway. But then again, he might just be dicking us around and change his mind too, remember the keyword was
MIGHT.
Why does Hogan feel the need to expose storylines?
Why did the WWF/E over the years spoil three major title changes on their website? First with Mankind (yes believe it or not before Tony Schiavone said anything on TV about it, the internet was already buzzing as well as WWF's official website that Mick Foley won the WWF World Title from The Rock), Vince's WWF Title and Edge's Money In The Bank cash-in and subsequent title win over The Undertaker all got spoiled. Hulk Hogan did not set a precedent there, sir.
Does he think that if he tells whats going to happen that people will tune in?
What say all of you? Where do you stand on the releasing of stoyrlines like this?
Again, let it play out. Who knows this isn't the first time Hulk Hogan said something and it turned out to be misleading, I'd not read too much into his comic con interview. It's just what it is. Hogan's been working his gimmick for longer than I've been alive and good on him for doing it, it gets people talking and it gets the smarks all up in a tizzy which they deserve to be for being such stupid fucking *****.
]Is this their way of doing the reverse of what Bischoff did to WWE back during the Monday Night Wars? (for those that dont know look up Mankind winning the WWF title)
Again, I stand by previous statements, just let the storyline play out, it may happen, it might not happen. Who freaking knows...
Now we all know that its gonna be Sting vs hogan at bound for Glory pay per view, but I don't think the fans are interesting in seeing this match because we don't know what physical shape hogan is in. We hear reports of him saying he can't do a leg drop, but what can't he do?? I don't want to see these two guys wrestle, last time in WCW with all the hype going into the pay per view, the match itself sucked so I don't know if this match is going to be any better right now.
Actually we don't know if that's going to happen. Seriously we don't, let's put it this way, I won't believe that Hulk Hogan will be wrestling again until it's officially announced, I'd advise you to be in the same mindset, because they can still turn Hogan back to the Red And Yellow without him being a full time wrestler or even an occasional wrestler. Therefore, we don't know what's going to happen, they had plenty of opportunities to get Hogan back in the ring starting back to when he signed with TNA in October of 2009 and he he only participated in one tag team match that saw him do next to nothing in the ring. If you recall right this was back in March of 2010 and it was a tag match with him and Abyss vs Flair and Styles, yes I'll admit that Hogan and Flair looked like silly old men but if you really watch the match Abyss and Styles were doing all the work. Therefore as far as Hogan wrestling again let's not get ahead of ourselves, ok?
They're desperate for ratings but couldn't Hogan have talked about the aspects of TNA that wrestling fans both casual and diehard actually care about?
He was at the Comic-Con, which I am sure was his intended audience to try to get them hooked into the storyline at TNA, do I personally think its going to work? Time will tell, do I really give a shit, no? Like I said to the previous posters WWF/E gave away bigger scoops than this like when Vince McMahon won the World Title, and Edge won the World Title from Undertaker. So please put that double standard elsewhere. It's likely that Hogan's future is that he is going to go back to his old colors, lol. At least TNA's website isn't giving away storyline spoilers like WWF/E has notoriously been known to do. Again not complaining that WWE did it, just making a simple observation. And again nothing is for certain until it actually happens, do keep that in mind.
However you have raised an excellent point, it would have been good to hear more about TNA's other stars talked about at the comic con. However, Hogan has made it a point in other discussions to talk about guys like Matt Morgan and Robert Roode to media platforms like ESPN, which I think says something for those that constantly detract Hogan.
Hogan is a legend, even I still like him regardless of the guy's ego because I grew up watching him in the 80s but TNA has the best roster in mainstream wrestling and the best product too so why not push the younger talent more than himself? I'm sure Hogan talking about Alex Shelley and such would get even casuals who know of Hogan thinking "who's this Alex Shelley guy? He must be good if Hulk Hogan's talking about him being a great athlete".
Again, great points however we should realize that professional wrestling by now is all egos, period. Hogan might be one of the biggest but seriously man, anyone who wants to perform in front of a camera with thousands of people watching them in person and millions around the world, has to have some sort of high sense of self-value, let's not just string Hulk Hogan into that category because basically that entire business is built on ego.
I can't personally speak for Hulk Hogan, however I think he is one of those guys that is still figuring out how to transition to this new phase in his career. Right or wrong, the guy has more or less been the performer most of his career and his role in TNA is a new one for him. Considering that ratings have stabilized and he hasn't wrestled a full time schedule like people were fearing him doing or that he'd have hijacked the TNA title on his first day in the company (like many were sure were going to happen) has shown that Hogan's been rather accepting of these changes. At least that's what I am gathering, I could be wrong, but time will tell on that one.
Hopefully the aforementioned references to Robert Roode and Matt Morgan that I said Hogan made will continue to pay off and those guys will continue to get their push. I personally like both of them and with Hogan's endorsement I hope that means continued success for both. However, I hope James Storm gets something going on if Beer Money does ever split up.
Been a Hogan mark for years, however, time to hang up the boots for good. Hogan, Flair and Sting must be the most selfish trio in wrestling. Its time to push the younger generation, Styles, Daniels, Roode, Kazarian, Morgan, etc. Younger wrestling fans can't even recall Hogan, Sting, and Flair in their prime. That is why TNA is sinking while WWE is always on top. WWE knows how to develop and promote new talent. TNA does not. TNA is a mirror image of WCW in the late 90's. And we all know how that turned out.
Tell me the last time Hulk Hogan wrestled a match, I think more or less those boots pretty much are hung up, considering the guy's health problems (again this could all be exaggeration, however I think he'd have already been wrestling by now if he was capable of doing so, I think at this point Hogan's accepting his age and injury accumulation.) I will agree that Flair and Sting wrestling at this point is not the most desirable dynamic, however let's not throw Sting right into that category yet, if he is retiring soon (for real this time) there is time for him to put someone over because let's be honest only the smarks really know how old Sting is, and they are the ones that are going to bitch about it the most. The casual fans I am sure do realize that Sting is not a spring chicken, however give it time and hopefully the pay off will see Sting lose to a guy like Matt Morgan who I think could have a great run at the top with the strap. In time, we'll see what goes on.
The one that disappoints me the most is Flair, because I am convinced that one day he is just going to die in the ring as sad as that is to say. But I would definitely not put Hogan in the same category as Flair because Hogan has seen little to no ring action as a full time competitor in TNA, if you can't admit that, then obviously there is something you're refusing to see.
