Guest Arnold_OldSchool Posted April 3, 2006 Report 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?
USC Wuz Robbed! Posted April 3, 2006 Report Posted April 3, 2006 Hogan did say he wanted Austin. It's Austin that isn't all that willing.
Hawk 34 Posted April 3, 2006 Report 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.
Guest Arnold_OldSchool Posted April 3, 2006 Report 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. "OMG WWE uou expect to sell out Ford ield and you don't even give us a teaser on the biggest RAW of the Spring! Gawd!" Stop the Ford Field won't sell out talk as well people.

I thought he just made up with WWE about the J.R. thing and that was that.

RavishingRickRudo Posted April 3, 2006 Report Posted April 3, 2006 Shouldn't the RAW GM be decided? Maybe we will get Back To Being The Responsible One Linda bringing in a new GM in Vinces absense. Or maybe Vince will stay there and continue to forget about that plot line.
DrVenkman PhD Posted April 3, 2006 Report Posted April 3, 2006 "Austin pretty well confirmed by his promo [Hall of Fame] that he and Hogan will headline next year's Wrestlemania" - Meltzer's Sunday update. I haven't seen the TV portion yet, what did he say?
2GOLD Posted April 3, 2006 Report Posted April 3, 2006 "Austin pretty well confirmed by his promo [Hall of Fame] that he and Hogan will headline next year's Wrestlemania" - Meltzer's Sunday update. I haven't seen the TV portion yet, what did he say? That he has one more can of whoop ass in his bag for Hulk Hogan. Basically.
Hawk 34 Posted April 3, 2006 Report 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".
USC Wuz Robbed! Posted April 3, 2006 Report Posted April 3, 2006 That doesn't make sense. Hogan issued the initial challenge to Austin in October, but now it's on only if the money is right?
DrVenkman PhD Posted April 3, 2006 Report Posted April 3, 2006 I believe said motion indicated it's a money match.
RavishingRickRudo Posted April 3, 2006 Report 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?
USC Wuz Robbed! Posted April 3, 2006 Report 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.
Hawk 34 Posted April 3, 2006 Report 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...
razazteca Posted April 3, 2006 Report Posted April 3, 2006 SCSA/Hogan vs TBS/Kane at SNME....if this does not get a 6.0 rating on NBC then you might as well fire everybody involved in the booking, writing, production, editing, directing, etc., and sell the company to Larry Flynt.
RavishingRickRudo Posted April 3, 2006 Report 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.
Hawk 34 Posted April 3, 2006 Report 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! Posted April 3, 2006 Report 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?
Hawk 34 Posted April 3, 2006 Report 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.
razazteca Posted April 3, 2006 Report Posted April 3, 2006 TBS/Kane are baby-face? why? Just have them go around doing the usual "YOUR GOING TO FACE KANE!!!!!!" run-ins with him killing everybody with chokeslams. If MNM is coming over to Raw then why is Carlito/Masters getting split up so soon?

strummer Posted April 3, 2006 Report Posted April 3, 2006 I see a bunch of skits with a pregnant Stephanie as interim GM
razazteca Posted April 3, 2006 Report Posted April 3, 2006 Said team would need some build up to be contenders....the 2 team division concept helps noone.
razazteca Posted April 3, 2006 Report Posted April 3, 2006 I see a bunch of skits with a pregnant Stephanie as interim GM Preggo Stephanie lactating into people's coffee on command would be nice.
haVoc Posted April 3, 2006 Report Posted April 3, 2006 Some are looking into the DX thing more then they should. HBK did it because he went "old school" and Triple H did it to get some cheap heat last night.
AndrewTS Posted April 3, 2006 Report Posted April 3, 2006 Doesn't seem Downhome GIFed this one yet, but here's Mickie's Stratusfaction "counter" (from Jared Rea's 1up.com blog). http://gigapress.com/1up/crotch6pp.gif
Dobbs 3K Posted April 3, 2006 Report 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.
