Guest Mr.Negativity Posted January 12, 2003 Report Posted January 12, 2003 I was wondering if he left WWE, It would've of been good if he had a retirement match in the WWE to end his career off on a good note while putting somebody over.
Guest EternallyLazy Posted January 12, 2003 Report Posted January 12, 2003 I have no doubt that he'll be back for Mania, even if he gets the "Goldberg deal" of just having to make a few appearances leading up to a match
Guest Mr.Negativity Posted January 12, 2003 Report Posted January 12, 2003 Thanks for the info, I thought that he was through with them because I heard that he was wrestling in Japan.
Guest saturnmark4life Posted January 12, 2003 Report Posted January 12, 2003 It's a shame the brock match wasn't officially his retirement match, or it would have meant more. I love that match, it is SO funny to watch him Hulk Up every 5 seconds to get beaten to death again. It was a fine way to set up summerslam though.
Guest Downhome Posted January 12, 2003 Report Posted January 12, 2003 Thanks for the info, I thought that he was through with them because I heard that he was wrestling in Japan. He's actually going to be teaming with Mutoh I believe, to wrestle against Goldberg and another wrestler, that's the word going around.
EL DANDY~! Posted January 12, 2003 Report Posted January 12, 2003 In all reality, Hogan's contract with Vince is up because he overworked the yearly alloted number of events in his contract, so right now, Vince is trying to see if Hogan would come back, but Hogan would only come back for a Hogan/Vince storyline. Who knows what will happen...
Guest saturnmark4life Posted January 12, 2003 Report Posted January 12, 2003 Hogan AND Mutoh? hooo boy...
Guest Anglesault Posted January 12, 2003 Report Posted January 12, 2003 In all reality, Hogan's contract with Vince is up because he overworked the yearly alloted number of events in his contract 4?
Guest Quik Posted January 12, 2003 Report Posted January 12, 2003 "4?" Hee-hee... Hey, the man needs time to tan.
Guest NoSelfWorth Posted January 13, 2003 Report Posted January 13, 2003 Hogan's contract expires on January 24th, so he's still 'with' Vince. He has completed all his contractually obligated dates, and he may use this to work elsewhere. And he is not wrestling on the upcoming Wrestle-1 show.
Guest The Old Me Posted January 13, 2003 Report Posted January 13, 2003 who cares? Hogan gave the rub to a few, sure he might like a better send off, but this is the same guy that wanted to return and squash everyone so that Brock's win at Survivor Series (provided he fought Hogan) would have meant more.
Guest Brian Posted January 13, 2003 Report Posted January 13, 2003 All the NWO was signed to three year deals. Hogan's not going to Japan to wrestle. Meltzer cleared this up a couple days ago.
Guest Funaki Posted January 13, 2003 Report Posted January 13, 2003 who cares? Hogan gave the rub to a few, sure he might like a better send off, but this is the same guy that wanted to return and squash everyone so that Brock's win at Survivor Series (provided he fought Hogan) would have meant more. Why are you so harsh on The Hulkster? He's saving me a fortune in long distance!!

Guest Mole Posted January 13, 2003 Report Posted January 13, 2003 Hogan still has more rub to give. He shouldn't get beat down as his showing in WWE. He should loose in a retirement match, that is the best way to give your rub off. Look what it did to Triple-Juice, his stardom shot off after he retired Mick.

Maybe, but you gotta look at the age factor. Hogan is in his early 50's, mick was still in his early 30's. Winning a match and essentially retiring an aging waaaay past his prime wrestler just doesn't have as great deal of impact as the Foley/HHH situation... even if Hogan is considered the greatest draw or one of the greatest draws in history. I'm not saying that I'm against the idea (I would LOVE to see Jericho do it so we can hear about it like we do his "king of the world" stuff) ... I'm just skeptical of how much it would end up rubbing off on whomever is chosen.
Guest Adrian 3:16 Posted January 13, 2003 Report Posted January 13, 2003 I was wondering if he left WWE, It would've of been good if he had a retirement match in the WWE to end his career off on a good note while putting somebody over. That's basically how the Brock match went down. If he's gone for good at least he went out the right way. But as someone on this board once said, I'll never really believe he's never coming back until I see him in a pine box for myself. That being said, the proposed match against Vince with Hogan presumably going over for Mania would be fun and wouldn't hurt anybody, although I'm sure there'd still be people crying "But how does this elevate anybody?" around here...
