Last I heard Hassan was going to get involved with Austin and Piper, so chances are this is Hogan working his own angle, and bears no relation to current plans.

jester 0 Report post Posted March 29, 2005 Hmmm, this sounds more like Hogan trying to weasel his way onto WM and back into the company than anything WWE was thinking about doing. He's the Orange Cockroach. He will not go away. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

yankovic fan 0 Report post Posted March 30, 2005 Wait he's talking down towards the whole Hassan thing, but didn't a very similar angle in the early 90s provide him with a lot of extra cash? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Savage is all talk when it came to fighting Hogan. So I never see this happening. I have a feeling Hassan will get interview time and be interrupted by Hogan at Wrestlemania Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CanadianGuitarist 0 Report post Posted March 30, 2005 I have a feeling Hassan will get interview time and be interrupted by Hogan at Wrestlemania I'm calling that to. Hussan interrupts Piper's pit, Hogan interrupts Hussan. An 'impromptu' tag or four way dance follows. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think this has more to do with Austin not wanting to work with Hogan, than it does Hogan wanting to go over. I doubt Hogan would have such a problem putting over Austin, he had no problem putting over guys during his last two runs in the fed. Besides, didn't Austin turn down a match with Hogan for X8? Which is why Rock got the program... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Shadow Report post Posted March 30, 2005 Hogan and Austin are friendly now. It's likely either men wanted to lay down and likely feel that a confrontation against Hassan during the pit would get over more and benifit both better. Once they didn't get along but they buried that issue. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I doubt Hogan would have such a problem putting over Austin, he had no problem putting over guys during his last two runs in the fed. Besides, didn't Austin turn down a match with Hogan for X8? Which is why Rock got the program... Hogan would want to go over. He doesn't want to lose anymore. The major problem stopping him coming back is that Hogan wants to be the Hogan from the 80's who beats everyone with the legdrop, while Vince sees Hogan's role as one of putting guys over. Hogan had no problem putting some guys over during his last two runs, but the same problems arose of him wanting to beat guys that Vince didn't want him beating, which is why he left, at least the first time. True, Austin turned down a match with Hogan at WM X8, but that was down to Austin's dislike of Hogan's politicking, and they've since worked things out. I'm sure the two are cordial enough with each other, but that doesn't mean that either man is willing to lose to the other, and I guarantee that the only reason Hogan is claiming the match fell apart this time is because Hogan wanted to win and Austin and/or Vince disagreed. Hogan appearing at WM 21 is highly unlikely given that it's had zero build up. As for Piper's Pit with Austin, the only guy who is set to interrupt that, and who should be the only one, is Muhammed Hassan, Putting anyone else in there, especially Hogan, takes away from whatever angle is planned for it.

Hunter's Torn Quad 0 Report post Posted March 31, 2005 Hunter's Torn Quad, Hogan will be at WrestleMania. They have been promoting the HOF class of 2005 as being at WrestleMania. I'm talking about in terms of doing anything of note. The most he'll probably do is wave a little, maybe pose, but that's likely it. If they want to tease something, then whatever they do shouldn't be big, and it should be used to build to an announcement that Hogan will be on Raw. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Promoter 0 Report post Posted March 31, 2005 That would be the normal HOF inductee you are talking about. This is egomaniac Hulk Hogan we're talking about here who has his induction televised on saturday night. I wouldn't be surprised to see Hogan interact with people like JBL holding his title and whatnot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
