Twisted Intestine 0 Report post Posted August 4, 2008 I just watched an episode of Hogan knows best where Hogan signed a 20 year contract with Vince where he'd make a certain number of appearances per year... Does this contract exist between the two? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheFranchise 0 Report post Posted August 4, 2008 Bret once signed the same contract. I imagine it was re-negotiated, where Hogan got a bit more money per apperance but for less dates, to suit both parties. That's just an estimated guess, though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hunter's Torn Quad 0 Report post Posted August 4, 2008 Taken from another board, via PWI: According to Michael Johnson, Mick Foley asked Vince McMahon for a release from his announcing duties last week. Johsnon says it may have blown over, and it wasn't a heated argument between Mick and Vince. But, Foley was sick of being yelled at by Vince in his headset for two hours every week.

Jaxxson Mayhem 0 Report post Posted August 4, 2008 -Flair isn't the only WWE legend who might be on his way out of the company. Dot Net Members currently have access to a story I wrote this morning that explains why Summer Slam could be Mick Foley's last date with WWE for a while. prowrestling.net Why would he be on his way out? Edit: I just read on PWI that another WWE legend (I'm guessing Foley) is unhappy with his role on TV. There was more but I'm not a subscriber. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks for the Fish 0 Report post Posted August 4, 2008 Could the Edge beatdown essentially write-off Foley? Seems like the Dudley Boys contract is up with TNA within the month. I wonder if the wwe will look to bring them back, a feud with Miz/Morrison would make some sense. Miz/Morrison could use the live Dirt Sheet's to set-up the feud, saying they are so good that there is no team in ECW for them to face, that must make them the most dominant ecw team ever sorta deal. Due to the talent exchange they could also wrestle for SD! as well. Or they could go to Raw and feud with Dibiase/Rhodes and eventually Cryme Tyme. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Can't say I blame him. It just kills me Mcmahon thinks only he knows how to call a match. If he had any smarts, he could see that he is not the end all be all of how to call his precious product. Mcmahon is such a fucking asshole. Way to run off a good announcer you fucking prick. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Danville_Wrestling 0 Report post Posted August 4, 2008 To be honest, I loved Vince on commentary and wish he'd go back to doing it. Of course, that's probably because I grew up as a fan with Vince on commentary in the mid-1990s so he became the standard for what I associate commentators with.

Golgo 13 0 Report post Posted August 5, 2008 Carlito's been in Puerto Rico and wrestled at WWC's Aniversario 2008. I still like him, he just needs a few changes. Not like he's any worse than Kennedy overall. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I doubt that 3D will even consider coming back to the WWE at this point. They're making a lot doing Indies and Japan and I'm sure TNA will throw money at them, plus they're running their own promotion In Flordia. Besides that, the WWE tag divison still sucks ass and having 3D come back now won't do any good for 3D or the WWE at this point. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's that reason that people started liking him a lot when came to the WWE. I don't know how you can't hear it. I can certainly name more guys that are worse than him than guys that are better than him.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Black Lushus 0 Report post Posted August 5, 2008 man, JEFF HARDY of all people punked him out with a promo...Jeff Hardy... Just personal preference I guess, I've never gotten in to his KENNEDY KENNEDY schtick...I mean he's OK on the mic, but nothing that makes me go ga-ga or anything. Personally, I think MVP has come along a lot further than Kennedy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
