Guest Mikey2Dope Posted August 8, 2002 Report Posted August 8, 2002 Hogan Refuses To Work Australia Show Due To Money, Problems With WWE Posted By Ashish on 08.08.02 It is becoming clear now that Hulk Hogan will not be working the WWE Australia show this weekend due to money. Hogan had told Vince McMahon that he would not go on the 16 hour flight and work the show unless he was compensated for the extra time. McMahon gave him no response and then announced that he would not be on the show. Hogan is also now upset that WWE was making jokes about him at the recent Australia press conference. When a WWE spokesman said that Hogan was 49, the Rock joked that he was actually 52. Hogan is said to be upset about that comment. Obviously problems are starting to brew between WWE and Hulk Hogan. We will have more as it develops. Credit: 1wrestling.com
Guest nWoScorpion Posted August 8, 2002 Report Posted August 8, 2002 Hogan shouldn;'t take that seriously. Besides, I would want more money to be a on a 16 friggin hour flight to a country i never been too. Does WWE Even have that many fans down under? Caus eI thought they were limited to like 3 channels, 2 of them being static.
Guest Ram Posted August 8, 2002 Report Posted August 8, 2002 I thought Hogan was 73? Before he retires, I want to see his final match be against a retiring Undertaker (who should come out old school monster. I would SO mark out for the bong and urn.) He should at least try and stick around till Wrestlemania, and retire there.
Guest El Psycho Diablo Posted August 8, 2002 Report Posted August 8, 2002 As much as they're paying Hogan..he shouldn't be complaining. He's lucky to be ON TV at all.
Guest nWoScorpion Posted August 8, 2002 Report Posted August 8, 2002 How much IS he getting anyway? I never really cared enough to actually look.
Guest bob_barron Posted August 8, 2002 Report Posted August 8, 2002 Well Scorp- they sold out a 50,000 seat arena
Guest Shaved Bear Posted August 8, 2002 Report Posted August 8, 2002 imagine if we can get paid to go on trips with the WWE superstars...yet he has the chance and refuses it
Guest BionicRedneck Posted August 8, 2002 Report Posted August 8, 2002 If this is true (and coming from 1wrestling, that is a big if) fuck Hogan. How many other wrestlers want more money?
Guest nWoScorpion Posted August 8, 2002 Report Posted August 8, 2002 Everyone. Ok, so I don't keep up woith australian fan base. But really, who REALLY likes beeing on 16 hour flights? I can barely stand an hour, maybe horu and a half. but SIXTEEN? holy christ. Besides, smackdown has Benoit, Rock, angle, Eddie, Edge as top stars. Losing Hogan for it isn't gonna hurt THAT much.
Guest BionicRedneck Posted August 8, 2002 Report Posted August 8, 2002 Thats not the point, the point is (if its true) he's being a selfish prick
Guest nWoScorpion Posted August 8, 2002 Report Posted August 8, 2002 Well If its in his contract, then he would be a prick. But I doubt it's written in his contract he has to do tours in other countries. He didn't do Insurrection i don't think (the england ppv) in may.
Guest BionicRedneck Posted August 8, 2002 Report Posted August 8, 2002 Insurrection was a RAW show that Hogan wasn't booked on to begin with, so he didn't have to.
Guest nWoScorpion Posted August 8, 2002 Report Posted August 8, 2002 Damn!! This roster Split is pissing me off, its screwing up my facts. LoL
Guest bob_barron Posted August 8, 2002 Report Posted August 8, 2002 I don't see what's the big deal. Book Hogan against a lowcarder and have him do the typical Hulk match. It'll make the crowd happy and in the future when the WWE comes there they'll want to see them more
Guest thebigjig Posted August 8, 2002 Report Posted August 8, 2002 If Hogan is so self conscience about his age, then maybe he should... Oh I don't know... retire maybe?
Guest nWoScorpion Posted August 9, 2002 Report Posted August 9, 2002 didnt rock piss off Nash too by calling him Big Daddy Bitch (when it was unscripted)
Guest bob_barron Posted August 9, 2002 Report Posted August 9, 2002 Yes Nash did and what Rock said was hilarious
Guest Shaved Bear Posted August 9, 2002 Report Posted August 9, 2002 i wonder who theyll fire...the 30 year old crossover superstar, or a 48 yr old hasbeen
Guest Slapnuts00 Posted August 9, 2002 Report Posted August 9, 2002 i wonder who theyll fire...the 30 year old crossover superstar, or a 48 yr old hasbeen 49!
Guest LesnarLunatic Posted August 9, 2002 Report Posted August 9, 2002 Hogan should throw a 49th birthday party, just for the 'camp value' of it. Then of course, some heel runs in to ruin it, cake shot. Start a small feud.
Guest nWoScorpion Posted August 9, 2002 Report Posted August 9, 2002 How often does WWE recognize a wrestlers birthday on TV? lol
Guest Shaved Bear Posted August 9, 2002 Report Posted August 9, 2002 people already think hogan is at least 400
Guest LesnarLunatic Posted August 9, 2002 Report Posted August 9, 2002 i'm sure Hogan getting the fans to sing 'Happy Birthday' to him would be surreal
Guest bob_barron Posted August 9, 2002 Report Posted August 9, 2002 BAH GAWD THAT HOSS ALBERT IS THROWING THE WEDDING CAKE AT HOGAN. MAH GAWD TELL ME WHY? TELL ME WHY THAT BIG HOSS WHO PLAYED COLLEGE FOOTBALL IS RUINING THE BIRTHDAY THUN OF A BITCH ALMIGHTY ANCHOR TIED TO HIS BAH GAWD ASS
Guest nWoScorpion Posted August 9, 2002 Report Posted August 9, 2002 Don't mock Jim Ross. Make fun of Cole "Damn that albert! he threw that damn cake into the damn face of Hogan damn it! someone stop him damn it! this damn nonsense has to end damn it!" -Cole trying to sound cool
Guest El Psycho Diablo Posted August 9, 2002 Report Posted August 9, 2002 Nah, Ross is more fun to do that to. After all, it's HIS fault Hossamania runs wild in the WWE. Remember people. Rikishi. Henry. Albert. Bull. Ross = Satan.
Guest jester Posted August 9, 2002 Report Posted August 9, 2002 I don't know if they want Hogan down there anyway, unless he was really over down there before. if the purpose of the trip is to get Australians into wrestling, having a 52 year old man (heh) hang around is not the way to do it. Did Goldust go? If he did, he HAS to do the Crocodile Hunter thing again.
Guest Austin3164life Posted August 9, 2002 Report Posted August 9, 2002 Eh, it was only a matter of time before Hogan started to get some heat with the Creative Team and Vince.
