Guest Sakura Report post Posted March 21, 2003 God I am so sick of this Hogan vs. McMahon "20 years in the making" and "dream match" hype. Seriously, besides Hogan and Vince, who gives a shit about this? I have NEVER seen a mark wonder about a potential match between the two and I've NEVER seen a smart desire to see them fight.

Guest Brian Report post Posted March 21, 2003 Jeez. Man, I wanted to get that shirt too. Now they go and fuck it up. I hope they have something plain or market stuff for other matches. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bored 0 Report post Posted March 21, 2003 You know I've never really thought that Vince would be insane enough to have his match with Hogan be the main event and that it would be Angle/Lesnar (before Angle's injury) or Austin/Rock even though that's been done twice but maybe I was wrong. But Vince is a still genius right? Right? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest iamsherm Report post Posted March 21, 2003 I personally like the shirt. It looks like I'm the only one that feels this way, but I'm actually looking forward to Hogan-McMahon. Sure, it won't be the most technically sound match you will ever see, but it's still regarded by me as one of those "dream" matches. It's showcasing the age old debate of who made wrestling what it is today. All I'm saying is, with the proper booking, it could turn out to be a fun little match. Give it a chance. How many people thought Vince-Shane at X-7 was going to be anything special going into it? If Hogan-Vince doesn't match up, I'll be the first one to say so, but until then... And why do they only make one shirt anyways? Why not have Hogan-Vince on one, Brock-Angle on another, HHH-Booker T on another, and so on? At least it gives the fans a choice.

Guest Brian Report post Posted March 21, 2003 What does the debate have to do with Hogan fifteen years past his day and Vince, a non-wrestler, getting priveledge over the others? Anyways, they're selling a normal shirt which is the one I'm getting at Axxess. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest MarvinisaLunatic Report post Posted March 21, 2003 I think On RAW they were wearing black shirts with the logo on the front only..makes sense I suppose.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Rob Edwards Report post Posted March 21, 2003 if he is pushing it as the marketable match then he's finally cracked, hopefully he'll see sense and go with Austin/Rock 3 though Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Polish_Rifle Report post Posted March 21, 2003 I can'r remember one PPV shirt that was worth getting. Besides, unless you were at the event, what's the use of buying a shirt with the name of a PPV on it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest MarvinisaLunatic Report post Posted March 21, 2003 I think it would have been cooler if the subtitle of the PPV was Battle in Seattle (like X-7's Houston we have a Problem)..it kinda sounds old school and all.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest RavishingRickRudo Report post Posted March 21, 2003 The *only* dream match involving Hogan is vs. Austin - and they missed the boat on that one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest iamsherm Report post Posted March 21, 2003 What does the debate have to do with Hogan fifteen years past his day and Vince, a non-wrestler, getting priveledge over the others? It doesn't seem right, I'll give you that. However, Hogan is a proven commodity and McMahon, even as a non-wrestler, seemingly can get anybody he feuds/sides with over and draw big bucks. It seems only logical, to me, that they'd try and cash in on this. A lot of people were all for giving Hogan "one last run" in the WWE. That one last run is here, and hopefully after this match he'll ride off into the sunset. Hopefully. Vince, like it or not, is a different story. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Zero_Cool Report post Posted March 21, 2003 Hell, if they gave it better build up, I would give a t-shirt to Jericho/Michaels, because that is a dream match. At least we know that the match will be watchable. Hogan/McMahon..bah. No one cares. Until 1997, I always thought Vince was just was an announcer...where's this twenty years garbage coming from? I mean, they had no ON AIR animosity for most of those twenty years, yet they're selling it on that? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest creativename Report post Posted March 22, 2003 but it's still regarded by me as one of those "dream" matches I do not think anyone on this planet other than Vince was dreaming of this match. This is a "WTF" match, not a dream match. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I mean, they had no ON AIR animosity for most of those twenty years, yet they're selling it on that? EXACTLY! The only people that are going to follow this "20 years in the making" stuff are smarts. What mark cares what Hogan did in the steroid trial? Kayfabe wise, there is some decent build. It goes back to the feud with Angle last year and what not. But it's certainly not a "dream match" or a WM main match. Only in Vince and Hogan's delusional minds is this a "dream match" that everyone has been wondering about for years.

Guest Mulatto Heat Report post Posted March 22, 2003 I'm actually looking forward to Hogan-McMahon. Sure, it won't be the most technically sound match you will ever see If anyone expected technical expertise from Hogan or McMahon they ought to be committed. Why do people keep saying this? Technical expertise isn't the issue at all here. it's still regarded by me as one of those "dream" matches. I can safely say that you're the first person... EVER... that I've encountered that considers this as such. Until a few months ago I doubt anyone would have thought of McMahon facing Hogan, let alone considering it a dream match. If Hogan-Vince doesn't match up, I'll be the first one to say so I hope so. It's funny going back on old threads and people so sure of something turning out to be completely wrong. For instance, the other day on a whim I decided to look up the Unforgiven thread, and people were reassuring the RVD fans that he'd definitely win the title at Survivor Series. HA!

Technical expertise isn't the issue at all here. What is the issue then? Age? There wasn't nearly as much backlash against Ric Flair when he was still wrestling at Hogan's age. Why does Hogan get so much flack then? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Mulatto Heat Report post Posted March 22, 2003 Flair wasn't exactly pushed to the title right away, in spite of other programs going on. Anyways, my point is that it's not the dream match it is being promoted as. Never has been, really. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Jobber of the Week Report post Posted March 22, 2003 FUCK. And I wanted a shirt too. I guess I'm going to have to wait until Axcess or the show and see if they have any shirts with just the plain logo on them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Brian Report post Posted March 22, 2003 They do. Their selling a package on shopzone with the plain looking shirts. Anyways, Flair has always been a smart worker and he continued to be one long past his physical deterioration. Hogan could be a smart worker but chooses not to and continues to wrestle with limited mobility. Flair had good matches (with the WWE), Hogan didn't.
