Hogan out of summerslam?

This clearly has to do with the Wellness Policy.

 

I guess a certain orange looking person was told they weren't above the law when it came to the testing and that certain someone was probably taking stuff that he shouldn't have been taking.

 

Better to be out for popping a knee getting off a couch than for not passing a drug test.

Considering how short a timespan they planned to have Hogan active (I don't think they were going to have Hogan show up weekly between SummerSlam and WM XXIII) I just sort of doubt that they would give him a wellness policy test (other than the "Are you going to die in the ring?" test). I mean, if he fails (which given his history, he would) you have two options; throw out the Hogan/Orton SummerSlam match you've been hyping since SNME2, or give Hogan a free pass just to save the match and make a horrible example for the locker room that drugs and steroids are bad only if you aren't a big enough draw.

 

I instinctively feel that this is Hogan's way of doing the job he's paid to do while still looking strong AND making his opponent look weak in the process. Basically, classic Hogan.

 

Oh, actually Im sure Hogan got a free pass on the drug tests. And even if they did test him and he did fail, I doubt anyone would know. Imagine the backlash of them announcing Hogan testing positive for any sort of steroids or whatnot.

 

The problem is though, if Hogan is above the tests..than who else is. Is HHH? Undertaker? I wonder if Vince gets tested?

He didn't take his vitamins

I'm not so sure.

If ECW or WCW had this policy, they would have had like 3 guys on thier active roster.

I would think that they just wouldn't bother testing Hogan because he's only around from mid-July and SNME to late August and SummerSlam, so they can say "Well he's only here for a month and a half so he's exempt".

 

There's no way they would test him; if he failed, word WOULD leak out in this day and age and they'd be screwed.

The answer is clearly Orton vs. Sweeney. Sweeney would carry Orton to the match of his life.

[EdwardKnoxII 0]

Nick comes out for the honor of his dad and sis and beats Orton in under a minute. Afterwards, at the next PPV, he beats Edge for the title and gets a year long regin with help from his dad.

I'm just BEGGING for Brooke to turn on her dad, that'd be great. I wouldn't mind though if the match got scrapped so they could do it later for WM XXIII.

I doubt Hogan's Creative Control would allow that.

[Guest Overworked]

Well isn't it obvious? It has to be Brutus Beefcake. vs Orton.

 

 

Yea in the middle of the match he'll throw white powder at Orton and shout...

 

ITS ANTHRAX!

wwe.com has an interview up with Hulk Hogan-He says he will be at Summerslam.

 

that's great news, because SS was looking really bad if the match wasn't going to happen.

[JHawk 0]

SummerSlam's looking really bad even with Hogan-Orton on the card.

[snuffbox 0]

The card was looking better without either Hulk or Randallissodreamyandpoops involved.

[NoCalMike 0]

Boo this.

[Guest Princess Leena]

Oh, fuck.

[Atticus Chaos 0]

Well, this is good...

But will Brooke be in a diva bikini catfight?

Yes, with Kelly, until Hogan and Mike "I suck Cox" Knox comes out

[Guest jackie fargo]

In an exclusive interview with WWE.com, when asked if he’d be at SummerSlam, a very serious Hulk Hogan said: “F*** yeah.”

 

Not only did Hogan promise that he would be present at SummerSlam to collide with his nemesis, Randy Orton, the Hulkster also said he will be live on RAW this Monday to prove that Hulkamania is still alive and ready to run wild all over the Legend Killer on Aug. 20.

 

“I’m not doing it for me; I’m doing it for all the Hulkamaniacs,” said an intense Hogan. “I’ve got a bad knee, and I’ve been really concerned about hurting it more. I’ve got a lot going on in my family right now…but I realize what’s important to me and that’s answering the bell once again in my career,” he explained.

 

As reported by WWE.com last Friday, the Hulkster suffered a partially torn meniscus in his right knee. As a result of this painful injury, it was unknown whether or not it would prevent the WWE Hall of Famer from competing against Orton in less than two weeks at SummerSlam.

 

Since learning of the injury, Randy Orton has claimed that Hogan isn’t really hurt, calling into question the Hulkster’s integrity. Just this past Monday on RAW, Orton said that Hogan doesn’t want to meet him at SummerSlam because “he’s afraid his legend will be killed forever.” (Read more of Orton’s comments)

 

 

“Randy Orton wants this to be all about him,” said the Hall of Famer in response to the Legend Killer’s insolent comments. “I’m ticked off that Orton has disrespected my family, disrespected the business and disrespected WWE fans – but this is bigger than that. This is about standing up for what Hulkamania’s always believed in,” Hogan exclaimed, seemingly Hulking up over the phone.

 

According to Hogan, he is starting to regain mobility in his knee but it is still very stiff. The Immortal One said that his meniscus tear “hurts like hell,” but he’s overcome injury many times before in his famed career and has prevailed.

 

“A lot of people don’t know this,” he explained, “but when I won the WWE Championship at Madison Square Garden against the Iron Sheik, I blew out my knee during the match. [That night], I sucked it up and went on to win the title.”

 

In response to the Legend Killer’s claims, Hogan will return this Monday when RAW emanates from Charlottesville, Va. Six days later, he will defend both the honor of his family and the legacy of his own namesake at SummerSlam.

 

“I’m going to show up in Boston, which has always been a hotbed of Hulkamania, brother. [At SummerSlam], I’m going to walk to the ring with my red and yellow, stand in that ring, and I’m going to kick Randy Orton’s ass.”

hooray...

[Guest Princess Leena]

Oh, let's have him win the WWE title again as well.

FUCK PUSHING YOUNGER TALENT!

Maybe The Iron Sheik was looking to take the payoff from Big Daddy Gagne.

They must have agreed to have him beat Orton.

[Lil' Bitch 0]

Yay!

[Guest Princess Leena]

They must have agreed to have him beat Orton.

 

Nah, it was always like that.

 

They must have agreed to have Brooke beat Orton.

[Lt. Al Giardello 0]

C'mon, I ain't the only one who wants to see Hogan get right up after the RKO and squash Orton.

 

GO HOGAN GO.

[Atticus Chaos 0]

They must have agreed to have him beat Orton.

 

 

It's been said before, Hogan has full creative control. They probably agreed the finish weeks ago.

[Black Lushus 0]

heaven forbid Hogan take the fall and make way for Harry Smith to make a name for himself fighting Randy Orton (if that's for sure what the plan is)...build two stars right there.

[Guest netslob]

huh, he must've passed his drugged test after all.

[Cheech Tremendous 0]

Maybe he's decided to put Orton over and wants to have a nice built-in excuse.
