How was Bret Hart half assing? Not like a stroke victim can exude lot of personality, not like be was an extrovert to begin with.

Alright alright bad example. I just don't want him to look bored like he doesn't give a shit.

Better example: Christian when he made that appearance at the TNA PPV so WWE could have Ric in the HOF with the Horsemen. He had a reason to not give a shit, but it's still a good example.

All I want is for Real American's ACTUAL INTRO to play tomorrow night. Don't just start it with the riff... do the whole damn deal! Every bit. No "surprise" entrance... hype it up, or kick the show off with it. Let fans know... play the whole song... do the whole entrance and whatnot... have HIM officially announce he is hosting Mania XXX... and maybe vocally put a guy over.

I totally get where you're coming from when it comes to WWE relying on old draws, but I just can't be negative about this one. Not impressed either, but I know like everyone else in this thread I'm marking out when the music hits. That song is pure, concentrated happiness.

The only reason it could imaginably suck seeing Hogan just once more in a WWE enviornment again is if he stumbles his way out and half asses it like Bret Hart, so I'm thinking "ehh this sicks" by the time he even gets the mic.
Yeah well... I'm not like everyone else in this thread simply because I can act like I've seen it before like everyone else has and it doesn't do anything for me. And after a couple weeks, it won't do anything for anyone else who actively watches wrestling either and they damn well know it.

I'll tell you what... it is fucking AMAZING how "irrelevant" Hogan is these days when he goes to a company like TNA and does absolutely nothing for them, doesn't help their ratings (arguably made them worse), and still gets a lot of credit for destroying WCW with his repetitive schtick. But as soon as he comes back to WWE, everyone just tends to forget all that crap and paints him to be the most prominent figure in the history of sports entertainment, and honestly it makes me fucking sick.

Hulk Hogan is not the future of this company or anyone else's company. He's a figment of 1980's nostalgia and nothing more. And WWE is more focused on nostalgia than anything else these days. You needn't look any further than the perks they offer with their new network which is basically "Have all our new PPV's for practically nothing while you spend 99% of your time and money watching our old shit instead". They knew this network would fail without that "little" extra incentive. Essentially, they know they're yesterday's news, so they market yesterday's news. So forgive me if I don't give a flying fuck about Hogan's return.

Good for you, but you're in the minority here. Hogan + WWE = warm fuzzy feelings tbh.

Never really been a Hogan fan so can't really say I got excited about the news but this is pretty much the best way for him to return to the company so I don't mind it.
