I was thinking about something, Hogan and Flair are too old and need to hang it up. I can tell Hogan is trying to do the Foreman/Rocky Balboa thing and trying to over come all odds to become champ. Thing is this won't work or get over as Hogan and Flair have both been champs too many times before to have it matter.
However, this got me thinking. One of the most charismatic wrestlers of all time to never win the world title is Scott Hall. No one flat out hates him, everyone knows his demons. And most that follow him know that in the past year he has over come a lot of those demons and even Sid Vicious and Larry Zybsko have him training and working out. Also he looked a lot thinner at the last PPV versus how he looked on January 4th.
In any event here is my idea for him, that just might work. People STILL mark out for Scott Hall even though he is fat and old and wonderfull on the mic. If they did an angle that was legit where he was trying to turn his life around (ala what he has been doing since 2008) showing him losing wieght (maybe another 50-60 ilbs) having good matches then have his sights set on the TNA world title and have someone like Kurt Angle be the current champ who could give Hall a dramatic match (I would not say anyone young cause you don't want to bury a young person in this angle) let people start caring about Scott Hall.. he has never won a title.. and in the end defeat all odds, and become the world champ for the first time in his career. (With the right build up I think this could be a ratings grabber since people legitly love Scott Hall throughout his many faults, its very very hard to hate "HEY YO!" they mark out everytime)
I believe this is what Hogan was trying to do with Hogan, but I think it will mean more if they HAD to push an old timer to let it be Scott Hall since people will always route for the underdog. He was fat over wieght, a drunk.. and is now cleaned up thin (future tense) and getting back on track.. this is someone that the common man would cheer for. And something that people can actually believe in. That Hall is cleaned up and is now world champ! Its something to look up to.
Then have him carry the belt for a PPv or two and pass it off to a young guy. But in the process you built up a reason for us to care. This is something I been thinking about...
Out of all the old timers.. Hall is the one that has the most potentional. If they can do this like the Rocky Balboa movie or what happend to George Foreman and play it out in TNA then it will be a money maker. The first step is to get the band together again (Wolf pac) and have them show interest in helping hall as well, and show him working out and clearing his ways.
This could work IMO. He can still go in the ring at his weight imagine if he lost more? I think he has been trying to changing his ways since 2008-2009 and I think an angle of this kind could work out.
What do you think could this work with the right build as him of an underdog? possibly winning a tournement no one thought he would win to become the #1 contenter, and a match no one thinks he could win one vs one?
