I'm not intentionally trying to bad mouth the guy.. but Hogan marks need to open their eyes. The guy isn't wholesome and pure. He isn't innocent and caring. Hes greedy. He felt the power of being the top guy. He felt the spotlight's shine and warmth.. he doesn't want to give it up.
Staged reality shows or not.. Hogan didn't go into them without believing it'd help him stay in the spotlight just the same. He might of HAD his Family's best intentions at heart.. but he still knew he'd be the main guy in the spotlight because of who he was, and he didn't think twice about signing on the dotted line to be that guy. Because.. shocker, shocker.. HE LOVES THE SPOTLIGHT!
Example? American Gladiators. Hogan didn't make that show, so why is he the poster boy of the new version? A.G. was popular on its own back in the day, it doesn't need someone from the 80's to help bring it back. It could've done it on its own. Hogan loves the spotlight, so he agreed to be their "face."
