Seems like Punk was given a firm 'gently caress no' in regards to a WWE return.

Probably for the best if he just retires now. But will his damage LET him...

Could Terry Bollea ever actually wrestle? I was born in the 80s, so I only ever knew him as the WWF champ. All he ever did was pump himself up and do lovely leg drops, which was great for a 6 year old.

Shockingly yeah. His stuff in Japan is pretty solid, and even in America he's got a handful of matches where he puts in the effort. His matches against Vader are supposedly really good, I should look those up.

He was a *smart* worker though, not a hard one. He knew he didn't have to put in effort in the USA and could get over entirely on his character work.

Well, that's also just him playing to the local audience because that's what Americans (specifically Vince) wanted at the time. People wanted big dudes lumbering around the ring in a way that made them look strong and where you could follow the story easily.

he could legitmately wrestle and in japan he put on some amazing matches hogans problem is that his body was already breaking down in the late 80's from constant leg drops and the inability to stay out of the spotlight so face hogan outwore its welcome until he evolved into the superior heel hollywood hogan that also outstayed its welcome lol

I honestly wonder how many more years Hogan might have had on his career if he had stopped using the lovely leg drop and stuck with the AXE BOMBER.

There's a pretty famous Lance Storm quote where he said that Terry was such a safe worker to wrestle against that he'd trust him enough to let him punch his children.

I think the only thing that would get me to watch WWE consistently again is if Dario Cueto came out after the final guy in the Royal Rumble and said "Hoooold ooooooon! There is one more entrant..."

Thanks to the write ups I remember when I bailed on LU - I never finished the third Ultima Lucha and missed the entire 4th season. That's the problem with being episodic. I missed the ten hour holiday special with uncaptioned Wookie dialogue so I didn't want to watch until I got caught up.

All this talk about Hogan being such a safe worker, would never hurt anyone, yadda yadda, ignoring that was completely reckless and had no regards for the health of his opponents. If you need evidence just check out this brutal chair shot:

Yeah, he wasn't a great worker there, just a lot better than you would expect.

yeah, "great" is definitely grading Hogan in Japan on a curve. when all you've ever seen him bother with is hamming it up for five minutes before a half-hearted leg drop, seeing evidence that he once knew what an enzuigiri was is something of a revelation

OK but remember when he burst through the roof of a limo and beat up a gang of thugs and made one poop his pants. This is around the time he saved a woman from rape and seduced her later that night by doing pushups and whining that she wasn't letting him bang her.
