BAEST MODE!!!

Sanguinia posted:

Ah, I forgot that the other half of the suit was upheld. I was remembering that the defamation claim got laughed out of court for being baseless, and didn't remember that the judge reasoned that having a match after Hogan's match and saying Hogan's win didn't count and his belt wasn't real amounted to taking his ability to control the match finish and his character away from him.

I think that ruling is bullshit, but whatever, that's why we have judges.

Regardless, I think that it's clear that Hogan would not have filed the suit in the first place if he wasn't a big baby throwing a tantrum because the promo was too mean. If, as Russo has stated, Hulk walking out with the belt and coming back later to face the Champion they crowned in his place was the story, the entire lawsuit was a crock. The fact that the judge sided with Hulk's interpretation of the CC clause was just good fortune and could have easily gone the other way. That's why lawyers always tell their clients to avoid court and try to settle.

EDIT: Anyway, I think it was a good promo, which was really the point of the topic. The fallout that resulted doesn't have much bearing on that opinion.

It was a stupid, well delivered promo that said a bunch of poo poo about Hogan you wanted to hear. The whole storyline was a dumb idea and Russo went too far with it and said several things that were not cleared with Hogan. This wasn't the first time Hogan had been called bald in WCW and he didn't sue those people.

I think I'm just going to laugh and hug a small child and pretend the entire conversation didn't mean anything so whether I won or lost is ultimately inconsequential.

That promo was bad, tho. Doubt it would have worked even if Hogan hadn't used it as a way to get out of his contract.

I wouldn't say I'm surprised by it, more like a sustained expression of consistent horror.

If I had a question to ask a panel at a convention it would probably be about how the women deflect creeps and obsessive fans.

He could probably do decently well on the indies, ROH might have a spot for him. Seems like an odd fit for Lucha Underground but who even knows at this point. He may not be on TV.

I really don't think it's any worse than being a woman celebrity of any type. Or a male celebrity for that matter. There are plenty of female and gay creepers on the interweb who's descriptions of what they would do to Tom Cruise or George Clooney would make you want to hide under your bed.

That's the only time watching that Countdown show on the Network angered me, when I realised Moolah was on the 'greatest Divas' list and I was grinding my teeth hearing all these women (possibly honestly, I don't know how much Layla knows about Moolah's history) gush about her.

Heyman: Hey Vince, this is Samoa Joe and personally I think you're wrong, you definitely could NOT make him a star, you'd fail if you tried.
Vince: Oh we'll just see about that, buddy! :argh:

Yeah, I was going to say I also got irrationally angry about it but I guess it's actually not irrational at all because she was a horrible person. I assume the stories aren't well known enough for WWE to not mention her, but still.
