Guest Arnold_OldSchool Report post Posted April 3, 2006 Why would there be a Hogan/Austin segment? Hogan is in LA or whatever right now, he flew back after the HOF Austin is prepping for his movie and he and Hogan are no where near ready or willing to work this match WTF?

Hawk 34 0 Report post Posted April 3, 2006 Hogan flew back to Chicago, as he had a race with his son sunday. Austin walked out after the JR fiasco. They appear to have kissed and made up and are going to get the wheels spinning for that match. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Arnold_OldSchool Report post Posted April 3, 2006 I can't wait to see tonight's thread then if anyone is actually expecting Austin or hogan to be there. Just Silly.

Or maybe Vince will stay there and continue to forget about that plot line. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hawk 34 0 Report post Posted April 3, 2006 Hogan, also responded to Hogan/Austin chants during his speech on saturday by using the $ sign. Looks like Hogan might be playing the heel in this one as he goes around say "If the money's right", while Austin flat out says "I want to whoop Hogan's ass".

RavishingRickRudo 0 Report post Posted April 3, 2006 Two questions: They could get two big buys out of Hogan/Austin. First having them as a tag team, and then having them against each other. Agree or disagree? Also, should Hogan/Austin have an actual storyline attached to it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
USC Wuz Robbed! 0 Report post Posted April 3, 2006 I think there should be a basic storyline, perhaps a "Who's really the best?" kinda thing. Nothing too complicated. I don't know if there is a big buy in Austin/Hogan's teaming unless it was against someone like MNM or two established heels. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hawk 34 0 Report post Posted April 3, 2006 Two questions: They could get two big buys out of Hogan/Austin. First having them as a tag team, and then having them against each other. Agree or disagree? Also, should Hogan/Austin have an actual storyline attached to it? It's possible that using Hogan/Austin as a tag-team (perhaps at RR) against some baddy team (that doesn't really matter but it should be a legit tag team) would add a second big draw You have Austin make a save on Hogan one week and then Hogan returns the favor later. They agree that they should team together against the heel tag team. The storyline, will be key. Do they do the obvious route of Austin shooting on Hogan about WCW? Does Hogan do a jealousy angle? Or should they just go straight out and cut "I'm the biggest icon in this business"- "I'm the toughest SOB to ever step into this ring" promos and build it as ICON-ICON? I'd have low-card wrestlers align themselfs to a wrestler. Show video packages of fans supporting Hogan over Austin and vice versa... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hawk 34 0 Report post Posted April 3, 2006 SCSA/Hogan vs TBS/Kane at SNME. That wouldn't work, you can't put two sets of baby-face tag teams against each other like that. MNM, is probably heading over to Raw, MnM vs Austin/Hogan is better. You can't blow a sure-fire draw on a tv show. WWE doesn't get a cut of the revenues for that, it'd be a waste of $.

USC Wuz Robbed! 0 Report post Posted April 3, 2006 In all seriousness, wouldn't teaming with Hogan be against his DTA character? Especially when there is real history of Hogan fucking with Austin in the past in WCW? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hawk 34 0 Report post Posted April 3, 2006 They could do a thing where Hogan/Austin team, and where you think Austin is going to turn on Hogan, Hogan turns on Austin. Yeah, I could easily see Austin cutting some darker edged promos on Hogan. Making it clear that you "can't trust a rattlesnake" and Hogan does his usual "brother" act to counter it. Then Hogan pulls a SID on Austin and walks away, of course Austin beats off the heel tag team and pins them and Hogan comes back out, they staredown as the show fades out. It's not that hard to explain why Hogan and Austin agreed to team and they don't have to mention the WCW history. They could do without shoot storylines for once.

Dobbs 3K 0 Report post Posted April 3, 2006 Prego GM Steph would only be good if a heel punches her in the stomach. Post-WM RAWs tend to feature debuting wrestlers, or at least promos for soon to arrive wrestlers. Maybe someone like Test or CM Punk shows up tonight?

Osama Rodriguez, (with new name) debuts tonight as a manager. I seriously doubt that Punk debuts tonight but if there was ever a time...it's tonight in Chicago. I wouldn't mind if he kept the gimmick from last night either, he could make it work somehow. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
