Guest BorneAgain Report post Posted November 12, 2002 Hulk Hogan Apparently Gone From WWE Over Booking, Book Issues Hulk Hogan and Vince McMahon have apparently parted ways. Insiders are reporting that McMahon is taking it as hard as when Steve Austin walked out, although he has chose not to express it publicly as he did with Austin. Hogan had agreed to work the main event of Survivor Series against Brock Lesnar, but as we have reported earlier, backed out a few weeks ago. Hogan was then due to have a program with McMahon leading to a match at Royal Rumble. There were no creative plans for Hogan after that because his deal was only for a year and it expired in February. In addition to booking problems, Hogan and McMahon had odds over Hogan’s book. The McMahons wanted Hogan to credit them more for his success. In addition, there were issues over how the book would be promoted on and off WWE TV. Since WWE owns part of the book and stands to make some profits, they will still promote the book on WWE TV. The success or failure of the book will have large ramifications for wrestling books in the future, so it remains in WWE’s best interests that the book does well. credit: Wrestling Observer Newsletter I'm a little reluctant to believe it, but if it is true, what's Hogan gonna do?

Guest Jobber of the Week Report post Posted November 12, 2002 Yep. When I look into my crystal ball and see the future of wrestling, I see a bunch of young guys with unwrinkled skin laid out on the canvas while Hogan does that Ear Thing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Kahran Ramsus Report post Posted November 12, 2002 He's gone for now, but I am still not convinced he is gone for good. I thought that after KOTR 1993, and I was wrong then. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest goodhelmet Report post Posted November 12, 2002 you know, in 1993 people actually still gave a shit. people said goodbye to him at WM this year and that should have been his last match. i don't see the old fucker returning anytime soon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest jester Report post Posted November 12, 2002 I believe it's the end of a working relationship between WWE and Hogan...for awhile. But I won't believe he is truly gone, as in he stops coming around to cut the same old promo and do the same old match until he is laid out on a slab. And even then, HHH will probably put on that mask Ed Leslie wore when injured and hump his corpse. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Choken One Report post Posted November 12, 2002 Please, Vince still has Hogan under his power, and when Vince needs a power play...He bring Hogan out from the cobwebs...Besides, might as well use Hogan as your international tool alongside with The Big Show. Kind of like they did with Foley for a while. Vince hasn't done Hogan-Austin Hogan-McMahon and Hogan-Test. and then he'll have exhusted Hogan to his fullest.

Guest saturnmark4life Report post Posted November 12, 2002 i started a thread about this, and they could do with him now, i think if it's really over jobbing clean to brock in his last match was the perfect thing to do, but he had drawing power and put people over, something the current top raw guy ain't doing.

Guest El Satanico Report post Posted November 13, 2002 Like I said in the last thread on this same topic... Until i see Hogan's cold tanned corpse laying in a pine box I won't believe that I've finally rid myself of seeing the orange goblin. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
