I don't think he has done anything to deserve the heat but he has it, and it is working to his favor.

Yeah but that has been what we've been saying for a couple years now. The hatred has very little to do with anything that he has done personally, it's disliking the way WWE has pushed him.

Personally, my only problem with him is several things he does in the ring. If he stopped wearing the vest, stopping cocking his wrist like it was a gun, stopped using the superman punch and stopped roaring like an idiot before a spear, I would have no problem with him.

I've always really disliked wrestlers telegraphing their finisher. Shawn Michaels "tuning up the band" was the stupidest of all. Regardless of how hurt your opponent is, he can hear you stamping your damn foot on the mat... probably not a shock that the majority of times he did this in a match, he missed the kick.

Did they just do a double turn?

That's the question we're wondering about. It really came off as a double turn but with the way WWE does things nowadays, who can be sure?

I hope it is, its kinda organic and its a great moment and would likely benefit both wrestlers. Its WWE though so who knows, I want to see RAW for once.

What is there to hate about Hulk Hogan? :emoji_confused:

He is a pathological liar who has repeatedly used his creative control clause to keep the world title on him while holding other wrestlers down. He has used his pull in his early days in WCW to have WCW regulars pushed off the card so he can bring his friends from the 1980's in the company to give them top billing. He lied to Dixie Carter (who I also hate) that he was the one who taught Vince McMahon how to run WWE. He convinced her to take Jeff Jarrett's creative authority away in TNA and give it to him and then proceeded to destroy a promising wrestling company by turning it into a complete joke.

Other than that, he's a narcissistic jerk who feels even at his current age that he should be allowed to wrestle and be given yet another run with the belt.

Hogan is a fool but wrestling wouldn't be what it is without him

That is irrelevant and speculative. First, I never made any claim that wrestling wouldn't be where it is without him. I only gave valid reasons for hating the guy. Second, it's easy for us to say that wrestling wouldn't be what it was today without him because we have nothing to compare that too. Vince McMahon had planned on taking the WWF national before he chose Hogan as his guy. We have no definitive evidence that there were not other guys who would have been just as successful in Hogan's place. In fact, Jimmy Snuka was well known to be McMahon's first choice before his drug issues curtailed that. There were definitely other charismatic guys around that time that may have done well. I personally feel that it was the vision of Vince McMahon much more than Hogan that made wrestling what it is.

But the major point being that it's irrelevant to the question at hand. Regardless of what Hogan may have done for pro wrestling, he's still an asshole.

But Hogan had to bury people and kind of be a dick to be the the top guy. Sometimes succes makes u a bad person. But Roman Reigns is such a humble and appreciative human being. Nothing but respect for the Samoan Badass

Weird. I mean Ric Flair never buried anyone but he remained the top guy in WCW for over 15 years.

I might not be a Cena or a Roman fan, but they don't sink to the depths that Hogan did. Yeah, I know Cena does some politicking backstage.

And no, Hogan didn't have to bury people and be a dick to be the top guy. All he had to do was lose 96% of a match and than hulk up at the end. That was his entire appeal. However, the people that he especially felt threatened his legacy, like Ric Flair, he would treat extra bad by completely no selling all of their offense.

I don't particularly like John Cena, but at least his character acknowledges the skills of his opponents and compliments them beyond belief. Hogan just insults and degrades everyone who challenges him
