I've got a question here. Does anybody else hate Hogan as much as I do?
Why? Is there anything I missed. A long while ago I used to hate the Rock for some reason, me and my friends would sit in the basement and wonder, what sold out more, The Rock, or The Scorpion King, and then I realized that it wasn't a big deal. Hogan as a wrestler is so-so in my opinion, but when you watch Mr. Nanny and watch him wrestle after you watch that movie, you can't help but to laugh.
It's not the fact that Hogan sold out, it's because he is a horrible wrestler, yet, most people worship the ground he walks on. The man literaly has 3 moves. Punch, Big Boot, Leg Drop. He needs to be carried through every match, just like how Michaels carried him at Summerslam. Shawn Michaels should have came out victorious this past Sunday. Another reason why I hate the orange goblin is because he is so selfish. He refuses to job to anybody, except for The Rock and Taker. He refuses to put any opponent over him in a match. He thinks he is some kind of god who should win all the time.
My dislike for Hogan grew even more after I read this article. This is proof enough about how much Hogan is so greedy.
For those who haven't read this headline:
For many fans, the quality of effort Shawn Michaels put into his match with Hulk Hogan likely gave the impression that he was thrilled to have the opportunity to work such a match. In reality, however, negotiations with Hulk Hogan brought the RAW superstar to a point of disgust.
Because Hulk Hogan's contract called for creative control, Shawn Michaels was powerless in trying to propose anything other than a clean victory for The Hulkster. Michaels, thinking he was skilled enough in backstage politics to go head-to-head with Hogan, ignored the advice from friends that he should work out a finish prior to agreeing to the match. That failure to take friendly advice would come back to haunt Michaels, as there was no way Hogan was going to accept anything other than a win with the legdrop. Vince McMahon eventually made it clear to HBK that the match was to be done Hogan's way.
While Michaels' late suggestion for a DQ finish was not considered, the idea of running a rematch at Unforgiven was. Thinking it would give each of the wrestlers the opportunity to get a victory, Michaels gladly signed off on the idea. Hogan, however, was not interested in doing the job. Hogan's idea was to win the initial Summerslam match, and then win a steel cage rematch by crawling out the door seconds before HBK climbed out from over the top of the cage. Michaels was certainly not interested in doing the job twice, so they went back to the original plan for a single match.
Michaels' sarcastic promo this week on RAW was his way of venting frustration related to the match. The interview saw Michaels mockingly suggest that Hogan's in-ring ability was just too superior to be touched.
