Remember the reports that Triple H was seen negotiating with Hogan that people tried to blow off as planted by Hogan and WWE had no real interest in him?

So hey, am I wrong for thinking that putting aside however you feel about Hogan being a racist leathery old ghoul, he's not worth any loving money in 2018?

Like, in what way is Hulk Hogan going to draw money or affect ratings at all? Maybe he'll pop a rating on Raw once.

Hogan merchandise will always sell. They want him as a brand ambassador more than anything though.

Those beach shops he runs in Orlando and Tampa have been doing excellent business ever since they opened and I guarantee new official Hulk merch and Network specials would be a net plus for the company

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that WWE has run the numbers and think that the guy who was the face of the company for a solid decade during its expansion into a global superpower will probably be received warmly by the audience of 2018 even after the sex tape and racism

Nostalgia pop at least for first appearance, and viewers will watch the next show to see if Hogan will show up at least?

No Daniel No...is what I'm saying from my selfish perspective in wanting him to leave the company that ignored the fan opinion of him for so long...and from a wish to see him in NJPW.

I would assume that Bryan would rather make more money and not work in Japan away from his family. I am surprised he is going to resign and have a full time schedule, because based on interviews it seems he doesn't like being away from home for these full loops.


TV Zombie posted:

I wonder when fatigue will hit the crowd in this 12 match extravaganza. Has NJPW put out this long a card?

I went to MITB. I didn't feel like there was fatigue watching the whole thing. People left during the Reigns match to get food/bathroom in droves, and if they put that on as the main event, people will just leave early.

Rumor has it that Macho Man Randy Savage's corpse is buried on US soil.

I have it on good authority that he might be dug up and make a special appearance tonight at the Exreme Rules PPV! The extreme-ness of the PPV will be cranked up several notches as a result.

Also Nostalgia is the greatest drug of all.

I kind of wonder what the age spread of most posters here are? I’m not saying it invalidates a view or anything, just if it might soften or hardens people’s view based on how much they watched of peak Hulk.

Granted that includes WCW which I never watched.

Wait hold up...what does suspending Hulk Hogan from the Hall of Fame for a limited time actually do? Like...no royalties? Or is it as useless as I feel it to be?

And I hope Daniel Bryan gets use of Vince's facilities and to wrestle. But a 2 year deal means he won't be champion. But maybe good money for the family. Perhaps if lucky he negotiated he's part time and can do other stuff too.

I don't think Bryan particularly cares if he is a champion as long as he gets to wrestle

In his book he was pretty disappointed anytime he wasn't champ. Not being on mania and getting extremely tiny amounts of tv time bugged him more tho.
