Do you think Hulk Hogan might return too WWE in the future or do you think his days in the wwe are over?

with him becoming the manger of tna i have a feeling he is finished with wwe.

Maybe if he wanted to retire with one last Mania match. I don't see why WWE would be against the idea of bringing him back for something like that, if it makes sense and there's money in it, go for it.

He just looks really out of place in TNA.

This isn't even a 'bash TNA' post, but WWE are the only company that know how to use him properly. Best used in short doses, in big scenarios. They know how to present Hogan as a big deal, you wouldn't see him mingling with scrubs like Evan Bourne and such, where TNA goes wrong is they are putting him all over the place in meaningless shit.

Hogan/Austin would still draw huge at a Mania.

Too old, would be nothing but some sort of segment to put over someone like Cena and get heat for a heel by getting beatdown.

Same as Chief Jay Strongbow, and same as Gorilla Monsoon.

Would the WWE allow it probably under the right contract situations.

Does Hogan want it. I doubt it.

Will it happen I give it a 66% chance at this point but I really kind of expect him to fade out of existance while with TNA or Randomly Die before the chance to go back.

If it would make Vince McMahon and Hulk Hogan money, then they'd both be all for it.

I think Vince knows business is more important than personal vendettas(questionable considering Savage isn't in the Hall yet) but I think he knows he can still make money with Hogan.

And Hogan knows he'll probably never be as big as we was in the WWE, so if he wants to return to the spotlight this is how he'll do it.

So in short, yes, I do think we'll see Hulk Hogan in a WWE ring Atleast one more time

In all honesty as much as I despise Hogan, he was best in WWE. In TNA, he's trying to run things but in WWE they'll run things for him. Two differences and I always believed Flair & Hogan should have never left WWE in the first place because you can clearly see what a clusterfuck TNA is these days with the shoddy booking and ideas.

If Hogan was to return to WWE, I wouldn't mind at all as long as he'd be on a Legends Contract kind of thing.

he said 1 day ago if his latest run is not a success in TNA then he will leave.... me thinks a return too WWE could be on the cards for hogan sooner than expected. heck i woulden't even rule out a return towards the end of 2012 if he fails with his next project in TNA>

Would be a waste of time.

Bring him in against Cena/Austin/squashed by Ryback or not at all.

Everytime Hogan works with midcarders it's been fail, look at Billy Kidman ffs.

Basically this, with a different spin. I don't think Hogan can still make Vince money so I don't think we will see him back.

Hogan is one of the last people I would ever expect to sign a seasonal legends contract because he always likes to dip his hands in the creative aspects of things. He also tends to stick around places for extremely long periods of time and with his "I'm bigger than wrestling" attitude despite TNA's ratings these days, it's almost impossible to imagine he and Vince getting along for longer than a short stint. That's why a retirement is the only thing that would ever bring him back.

The door will never be completely closed between the two parties. WWE clearly don't have a problem using his image and iconography in their video packages when appropriate, and Hogan would do just about anything for spotlight and a paycheck nowadays. Unless he Benoit's it, I can never rule out Hogan and WWE reaching even a short-term deal like with Hogan's last years in the company.

If anything, I'd put guys like Ric Flair, Kurt Angle and Jeff Hardy as people less likely to appear in WWE again than Hogan. Just don't give him any creative control...
