Guest wrestling365 Report post Posted January 12, 2005 Hulk Hogan was backstage at the Smackdown tapings yesterday in Tampa, FL... I've heard from a reliable source that Hogan spent most of his time at the show with Shane McMahon although it's believed he did meet with Vince earlier in the day. He was also seen talking to JBL for a few minutes who was overheard saying: "Hulk Hogan this is your belt I am just carrying it." Hogan was well received by the locker room and left shortly after the show got underway. Also at the show Dan Rodimer from Tough Enough and boxer Winky Wright were sat front row.

SuperJerk 0 Report post Posted January 12, 2005 ^Jester's sig is simply awesome.^ ON TOPIC: Hogan's probably the biggest draw and one of the popular performers in the history of wrestling. He deserves to be treated like that backstage. So long as he's not in the main event. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Fook_Theta Report post Posted January 12, 2005 They should have brought in Macho Man for Raw, and run the SUPERPOWERS COLLIDE part deux. Horrible idea, but it would probably be more stimulating than either show. File under "End the brand split." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A minor note to add to the backstage Smackdown stuff... New Jack wasn't at the show after showing up the day before in Ft. Lauderdale for Raw. Some guys were telling Bubba (Dudley) about New Jack being at Raw and he said if Jack shows up here he would "hand him his ass." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No. Some guys were telling Bubba (Dudley) about New Jack being at Raw and he said if Jack shows up here he would "hand him his ass." See, that's one of the problems with the WWE ... New Jack would be there (presumably) at the invitation of the company. But an employee of said company would try to beat the crap out of him for showing up? Talk about the inmates running the asylum.

Why not?He's got probably 100-150 pounds on NJ and he looks pretty stiff in the ring. If New Jack couldn't use any weapons i'd imagine he would have his ass handed to him.

Guest LooneyTune Report post Posted January 13, 2005 New Jack is a murderer? I'm wondering why he isn't in jail rather than why WWE didn't use him for a dark match. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest AndrewisyourHero Report post Posted January 13, 2005 New Jack is a murderer? I'm wondering why he isn't in jail rather than why WWE didn't use him for a dark match. According to Jack himself in Beyond The Mat, he has in fact killed people. "It didn't mean to happen, but it did". As for why he's not in jail, I would assume that he was able to get off by claiming self-defense or some other legally plausible explaination, hence the "justifiable homicide" statement rather than "murder".

Last time I checked Bubba Ray Dudley wasn't an ex-bounty hunter with a series of justifiable homicides to his name.. Which probably all involved GUNS because anyone knows being a bounty hunter DOES NOT make you tuff. Like I said, no weapons, New Jack is a little scrawny mf compared to Bubba and would probably get over-powered. Usually the ones with the biggest mouths are the biggest pussies so it wouldn't suprise me to see the next dirtsheet headline of "Spike Dudley beats the shit out of New Jack" Take away his knife,gun or whatever and he's got nothing.

Guest Trivia247 Report post Posted January 13, 2005 as it stands I probably wouldn't mind hogan doing some kind of match in WM but the problem is that he usually hangs around afterwards for weeks. He doesn't quite do that one night gig thing well.. Seems only the Rock is able to return and then disappear without to much angle difficulty or fan fare..

New Jack would destroy Bubba Ray in a street fight. It dosen't really matter about size in a street fight, I seen the littest of people kick the shit out of the biggest of people. It matters really who gets the 1st shot. New Jack would problay fight dirty too, headbutts, low blows, whatever to win the fight. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Promoter 0 Report post Posted January 14, 2005 You know that Bradshaw comment had me thinking!!!!! WrestleMania 21 Los Angeles California The Champion of Champion WWE CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH Bradsdhaw vs. "Hollywood" Hogan Storyline: Bradshaw bragging that he has never been pinned in a singles match in over a year and that he is the greatest of all-time. Hulk Hogan returns to proclaim he was the greatest. Winner: Bradshaw pins Hogan and everyone calls him the champion of champions *Bradshaw kissing the right ass in the wwe(Hogan and being Vince Mcmahon's clone in the ring) for this big moment I can see them REALLY doing this.
