Hogan would make most of the A house shows though (by A house shows I mean the house shows with the top stars, as in those days there were A, B, and C house shows, with the C shows taking place in YMCA's with midcarders in the main event), so that's where you'd see him consistently. However, because there are more TV shows today and the business is about the PPV's now and not the house shows anymore, the champion should show up every NOW AND THEN on the A show, which is Raw, whether it be in a match or not
Agree. Vince has to do his part and actually give you the TV time. Despite him intially not pushing Austin above mid card status, he still afforded Austin the TV time. That's half the battle. If a guy is not written into TV no matter how over he is, he can't do his thing. You gotta give these guys the TV time. Let's also not forget, Ryder himself was a heel before the whole neckbrace thing. They should of kept him heel
They wrestled twice on Raw in '02. Brock won both times. Match has already happened
It's amazing what some hair dye can do for guys like Nash and McMahon. They are two guys who can pull it off
Cool he knew Ernie Ladd. Was Ladd an agent backstage in the WWF in the mid 90s? I don't think he was. Maybe he knew Ladd from just being in the business in general
I want to see Hogan wrestle one more match, because a legend like him should always go out with a retirement match that the fans know about, and he hasn't had one yet. It wouldn't feel right if Hogan never stepped in the ring again, as his last WWE and TNA matches respectively were just matches and there was always a stigma that 'he'll get in the ring again soon to top off his next feud'. When he wrestled those last matches in both companies, it wasn't even known he was leaving that particular company at the time. He needs to have an official retirement match, and it needs to be 'where it all began', the WWE
I think so too. I also think a second match would be much better, as both guys would actually be motivated and be into it this time around. We all know both guys definitely could of produced a better match had both not been leaving. I'm in the belief Goldberg is one of those guys who, in middle age and while keeping in shape, could still kick some ass almost as much as he did 14 years ago to the point there really would be little difference. In no time, the crowd would be chanting 'Goldberg'.
I want Sting to wrestle more than just one match. Get a deal like Goldberg did, one year then if you want out, you can leave. I'd also hope he'd wrestle on Raw, at least once. I feel this way about Brock too. These legends/big names who come back or debut for the first time tend to get deals where they only wrestle PPV's and sparingly at that. I think if Brock or Sting wrestle the occasional free TV match, even if it's a squash against a lower tier guy, it gives that show a special feel, kind of like when Taker returned in '04 and made 'rare in ring appearances' on Smackdown
I truly think if that happened the fans would be split on what side they truly wanted Hogan on, since many always considered him a WWF guy. I think it would of been cool if they did an angle where initially Hogan was on WCW's side then defected to the WWF. It actually would of made sense, too.
