Lex Luger and Scott Hall are the poster boys for :flabbynsick:, Hogan is in pretty good shape considering the years and miles on him

I think you can send anyone you want to TNA and it still won't matter, doesn't say anything about Hogan imo. :manny:


Hoegan is corny b, he was running the company and all the story lines were straight 80's cartoon stories

Men lie women lie ratings don't, Hoegan in TNA didn't move the ratings needle one bit, he was no draw in 2013, hasn't been a draw in 15 years

If you dont look at the buyrate inside your internet gimmick, he dtew big with the match against HBK. The NWO return and WM 18 (which was a one match show) did great numbers too.


This guy made the fukking business. Thank you Hollywood, please come home dude.

No, he's not a week-to-week ratings draw as a 60-year non-wrestler. But he is a draw. He'll always be a draw. Just in spots as opposed to weekly. And we certainly can't have Kliq stans knocking anybody's drawing power.:comeon:

He easily has TNA's single best rating. It wasn't massive, but it's easily their best. 2011 was their best year of average TV ratings. Ratings and buys have definitely declined since then, but so has overall interest in wrestling. WWE is doing their lowest ratings in years. Under Terra Ryzing's watch no less.

He means something to TNA because when they go to those corporate meetings with Spike, venue officials, brands and other companies, they care about Hulk Hogan. They give no fukks about AJ Styles. And that's a problem that they all need to address in that company whether he stays or not. That's something also reflected in crowds. Hogan and Stink get the biggest reactions in every city and it's not even close, with the possible exception of Jeff Hardy.

WWE is the right environment for Hogan now. He needs to come in, play the babyface Hogan character, do mic work as maybe the GM or something. Throw a couple punches here and there, cup the ear, bask in standing ovations, all that shyt.

He shouldn't be thinking about creative control, and for damn sure he shouldn't actually wrestle a full match again. Seriously, he's pretty much a physical wreck at this point. Still muscular, but the wrong bump could put him in a wheelchair.

He's too involved in storylines in TNA, his character seems stressed out all the time. He's always got some storyline problem to deal with, he looks like he hasn't slept in years. His fans wanna see Hogan being Hogan and having fun out there.

:what: he drew against HBGOAT...what a shock when HBGOAT has the highest domestic PPV numbers ever for a wrestling PPV.

And who cares Hoegan drew in WM18, that shyt was YEARS ago, no one paying $60 to watch a 60 year old man who can barely walk step in the ring

Hogan is a guy that will draw a bit and get a big reaction the first time, then fans will get tired of him by the next week. This has been the case for 15 years

Thats how it works for everybody. No one, on their own, is a major draw week to week. Good stories draw. Major events draw (like old favs returning.) A general buzz around the biz and a feeling of excitement for your product. Thats what gets people consistently watching your shows and going to your events. If you do the same repetitive shows and stagnant storylines that go nowhere for weeks, months, years, it really doesnt matter who the characters are.

HHH vs Hulk....nobody will go down with a clean pin. :wow:



It will end with the arena "blacking out" and both men vanishing...thats how Mania will end. Then McMahon will reveal that it was him all along Austin...again :wow:
