So it had nothing to do with Hogan rapidly approaching 50 and thus having
a limited shelf life, while Trip and Lesnar are part of the present and
future of the industry? If they couldn't get over Hogan, how was Vince
supposed to make them look like a threat to anyone next year?
I'd also offer Rock as a counterexample, but then Rock always makes his
opponent look good.
}Now McMahon has
}probably given it to him in writing that if he plays by McMahons'
}gameplan, he'll have a run with the championship, but with this
}condition; it can only happen after he "loses" at Wrestlemania.
I think Hogan's already had his glory reign with the belt- the time
rapidly approaches for him to hang the boots up for one last time. Hogan
is becoming as irrelevant as Bob Backlund and Bruno Sammartino (or Mario
Milano, perhaps, who can still pop a crowd of smarks).
}That's
}how McMahon thinks he's gonna "kill Hulkamania", and he believes no
}one will be able to take Hogan seriously afterward. He's an asshole,
}and he really does want what he wants more than to do what the fans
}want.
It's good to be (married to the) boss. <G>

Well your credibility went out the door...Hogan beat HHH.
On another note, Vince was on Kilborn the other night...talking
openly, and not in character, about everything including the upcoming
match. As well as saying they have already buried the hatchet about
Hogan leaving in 1993.
Whether you believe him or not, is irrelevant.
The match is an ANGLE...come back to reality. Hogan may...MAY...be
involved in the HW angles, especially if Kurt goes under the knife.
But a run? No. I see Hogan winning, to continue his career...maybe
even getting into what Taker is doing now, and become a
Manager/Mentor/Tag Partner for a young guy and then retiring after
WM20.
The shear twiddle tht McMahon WANTS to kill a moneymaker like
Hulkamania...is just silly. Did you NOT see how many Hogan fans were
at SD!? Did you not see the Dolls and T-Shirts and merchandise on
EVERYONE!?
Reality check...

As darkness falls, Night unfolds ebon wings
to wrap the world in its dark embrace.
}For every 10 fans who want to see the likes of Rob Van Dam and Brock Lesnar
}there is still a fan out there who identifies with the legend that defines
}grapplers like Hogan and Flair. Hogan was never a great worker but his aura
}is undeniable. Flair, on the other hand, was an outstanding worker who
}wants to continue contributing whatever he can. Thankfully he's rarely in
}the ring anymore; I think his role as a heel manager/advisor to HHH and the
}rest of Evolution (when Batista and Orton come back from injuries) is ideal
}for him in his current state.
So Vince should book for 10% of his fanbase, is what you're saying?

The salary of folks like D-Lo Brown, Raven, Justin Credible and
others, I'd gather...

Considering what ratings are these days, I'd say he's nearing that
figure in reality... :p
