HBK fighting the sorrow would be a couple ghosts. Ya know, candido. Hogan would have to crawl thru like a million guys.

When I was 17, my father was so stupid, I didn't want to be seen with him in public. When I was 24, I was amazed at how much the old man had learned in just 7 years.
I think wrestling ends up like roller derby without Hogan. I mean roller derby in a lot of places was bigger than wrestling and disappeared without ever having something to capture the national imagination.

The last time I asked this, I got a :camera6:er, but I was asleep the entire time so lets make this count: hulk hogan vs shawn michaels - who was worse for pro wrestling?

Hogan.

While HBK didn't draw at the top of the card, he could at least put on a pretty good match.

While Hogan was a big part of a wrestling boom in the 80s and 90s, he also had a significant role in tanking WCW during one of the most profitable periods in wrestling history, and proceeded to hobble TNA when they could have emerged as a viable alternative to WWE during their lengthy monopoly over mainstream wrestling. That plus he also acted as a pawn for Peter Thiel in his endless vindictive campaign against press freedom and First Amendment rights. As much of a poo poo as HBK was, he can't claim to have not just damaged pro-wrestling, but also society as a whole.

Hogan was worse for wrestling because he had the chance to throw Vince under the bus at the steroid trial and he didn't

Although if he had WCW probably would have become the dominant company in pro-wrestling and oh god I don't want to even imagine that timeline

my mothers name is terry bollea. it's short for teresa. i'm not a bollea though. just 50% of one. someone came to our house when i was young and tried to meet hulk hogan but there wasn't any hulk hogan there. this happened 2 times. i bet it would have happened a lot if we didn't live in the woods

I always assumed Ryback did not know how to speak or read. Like he was some kind of Vince McMahon-funded Weapon X project to recreate Goldberg

I liked when he would lift and stack up multiple skinny jobbers and destroy them. They should have kept going, get it up to 5 or 6 guys and a teammate who helps him stack them, keep them balanced, encourage Ryback and clap for him, etc

Gotta consider that wrestling is a side hustle for Yujiro. His main gig is being a pimp (in Tokyo.)

Jake is pretty funny. They should have him be funny more often. But he's also fine as a big dumb hoss that just runs in to batter the jerks that hurt his friends.
