Hogan had his "one last run" back in 2002.

Warrior replaced Hogan as the WWE's top guy until he quit.

I'd say the most important wrestlers in the history of pro-wrestling are:


HOGAN
Ric Flair
The Rock
Steve Austin
John Cena
Undertaker


Cases could be made for Shawn Michaels, Macho, Steamboat and Andre as well. I don't know that anyone before the WWF boom of the 80's really has much influence after WM/WWF became a thing.

Yeah, they MADE him their top guy, doesn't mean anyone bought it. I mean, some kids, sure, but he was never one the same level as Hogan or Savage.

I guess the crowd won't boo until Kid Rock opens his mouth then

Wait, Kid Rock is getting inducted?

What the fuck for?

For being an American Badass, duh.

You mean a scrawny, badass wannabe pothead.

He's done a lot more than half the celebs in that wing.

Like what?

If it weren't for Bruno Sammartino there'd be no WWE

WM 34 Set!

I really like it:

Another look at the set construction, shorter entrance ramp this year:

My opinion on Hogan. Yeah I want Hogan back as a fan but as a person he's truly a piece of shit. He's lied and manipulated and been nothing but selfish as far as I can tell his entire life. He's not a good person, has plenty of morality issues and is racist. He was caught saying NIGGER with HARD R repeatedly with the obvious perception that he was better than anyone who is black. So you really think he deserves anything? He should be thankful for the success that was given to him by Verne and then Vince, he doesn't deserve anything.

He needs to earn his way back. Put himself out there as a person being positive and good. Go to church with Sting, visit the elderly and sick, truly make a heart felt apology for his actions. He fucked himself, and WWE is good for being strong in sticking to their guns.

Proud of HBM. Always feel "glad" seeing old wrestlers change their "look" after retiring instead of "clinging to the gimmick forever".

He's been balding for decades.

What is Hogan going to bring? He'll just show up and do his taunts and stuff. I dunno, it's not like a promo from him even means something. He's delusional so no one would believe it if he put anyone over. He can't bump or sell anymore. Just leave him gone.

His taunts have been fucking irritating for years now, too.

Dude, you're not Mr Olympia. You're 65 years old.

Damn, he's my dad's age. It's like watching my dad do those taunts, which is actually pretty realistic cause he's an idiot.

It'd make me happy. That's enough.

Hogan could throw around a couple cruiserweights or Pete Dunne.

It'd probably be the only reaction most of them ever get in WWE.

I think Jeff Jarrett should be the GM of RAW and Hogan should be the GM of SD.

Better looking knee move than the one Rollins uses. The standing version Rollins uses with the Rainmaker setup never came off as an impactful strike especially as a finisher.

I think hbks haircut leads to him being a gm

Omega's version looks better. More solid looking connection.

<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/IjVQZ9WPUHw" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; encrypted-media" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Would argue though that the move is helped by good selling, and the people I've seen Omega hit it on, generally do a much better job than the people seth has hit it on.

Coincidentally, that knee Buddy Murphy is using is the latest innovation from Kota Ibushi.

Yeah the selling of Rollins move is a big problem. Also doesn't help Rollins move looks way too slow or weak as a finisher. If he ditched the Rainmaker hold and went with Triple H's style for knee strikes, it would look a lot better.

With Omega, he has different ways of connecting with the V-Trigger and the most vicious being when he gets the snapping effect from the running version. Same with Ibushi's impact coming from his follow through with the knee.

Gonna be like Wrestlemania 20 out there

Rumor going around the net is Rusev has been asking for his release the past several weeks and WWE adding him into the IC match at Mania is likely their way of convincing him to stay.

PWI reported they've heard of rumblings of Rusev being very unhappy for a while over the lack of direction for his career especially with his Rusev Day gimmick not leading to any real notable improvements.

Right... Go watch 205 Live and see how Kalisto and Buddy Murphy, with no promotion from any main show, wake up a bored and tired crowd with a fucking awesome match.
Leave the old man in the retirement home where he belongs.

They did cool stuff but no one is going to pay attention to them outside of the most ardent fans.

HULK HOGAN and VINCE MCMAHON are the reason cruiserweights even exist. They are the only reason any wrestling exists after 1984. No one can say if Japan or Mexico's organizations would have ever caught on worldwide if Vince didn't create the option of wrestling being global. If not for Vince and Hogan wrestling would have plodded along as a mortuary for restholds.

Can Hogan do 630 leg drop?

Then fuck em'.

Then I hope they die.

Murdered.

By the person they love and trust the most.

The whole time, never accepting it.
