I've been around RSPW for a long time and one constant that I have seen is its lack of respect towards the man who (nN) made this sport, the REAL Triple H of wrestling, Hollywood Hulk Hogan.
Hulk Hogan deserves more respect that from the people who verbally bash him every day, while in the meantime, they cheer guys like the Rock and Triple H. If it wasn't for Hulk Hogan, Vince McMahon would have gone out of business by 87. The Rock would be the class clown in a University somewhere (still trying to graduate). Steve Austin would be a drunkard in some minor wrestling federation. Mick Foley would be in Japan killing himself for no reason (wait he's doing that right now in the US). Chris Benoit would be in Calgary giving headbutts to innocent people in the street. And I could go on and on. And most importantly of all, we all wouldn't be watching wrestling today. No monday night wars. No pay per view every month. No ECW. No WWF. No WCW. All this because of no Hulk. Vince needed Hulk Hogan just as much as Hulk needed Vince. Thing is, at the time, there was only ONE Hulk, and Vince could not find nobody else who could match him in the charisma department and who was availlible. Vince knows that the Rock 'n' wrestling connection would never had worked if somebody else was at the helm. Hulk Hogan was perfect for the time that he was in, and nobody else could replace him. Hulk brought the TV syndication deals, the media attention, the young fans, the Pay Per View buy rates and ultimately, all the money. Hulk saved WCW in 1994 after a bad year and he gave WCW its highest ratings ever, and his addition helped get the show syndicated in places around the US where it was never syndicated before. Eric Bischoff signing Hulk was the greatest decision WCW has ever made (up until that point). With Hulk in the federation, WCW made headlines and it finally gave the WWF a real opponent that could make a dent in the ratings/PPV buy rates. If Hulk never arrived in WCW, then there would be NO Nitro, which would mean that the WWF would continue its stranglehold on wrestling 4 LIFE. That means that Doink and Duke The Dumpster Droese would still be in the WWF today. No attitude, no McMahon/Austin feud, no puppies, etc... All this because of no Hulk in WCW. When Hulk Hogan allowed Bischoff to make himself the 3rd man in 96, hec changed wrestling again. Ever since then, people change sides week in and week out. Now, anybody can betray the fans, and nobody would be really shocked or care. Everyone is fair game. Before that, there were things you could always count on. Like Hulk Hogan, Sting and Bret Hart will always be good guys. Hulk has done more for this sport than anybody could have ever imagined. That's why he has my respect, and that's why you should all respect him. Now, time to ge serious BRAHS, no wrestler can ever match what the Hulkster has attained. I mean, who (nN) has ever beaten EIGHT guys in FOUR cages in ONE match ?!?! Of course he got the help of the Match' but Hulk did ALL the work. Hulk has taken all the giants (or gaints) in the biz. From THAMONSTAHAKU to the HUMAN WRECKING MACHINE ZEUS~! to Andor to the Son of Andor to THAMONSTAHAKU's identical cousin MENG (the face of TERROR), Hulk has went one on one with those guys and beat them all. I don't hear the cRock talk about kicking the roody poo R@ss of the Loch Ness Monster of the Yeti ? He can't even beat Triple Nose-Size Hunter Ham Hempsley. Fartkind ?? If he was in a cage against Relic Ric Flab, Meng (the face of TERROR), Double Ancient Arn Anderson, the Barbarian, Z-GANTSA, the TaskMaster Kevin Sullivan the ULLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLTIMATE Solution, and T-PAC, he wouldn't last three minutes with those MONSTAS ! In fact, he doesn't have a good buddy (or blood brother) like the Booty Man to hand him a frying pan ! And boy, don't get me started on the reviving elbow drop of doom~!!!!! Only Hulk could get up from that !!!! Without the power that he gains from the Hulkamaniacs out there, he can overcome anything. Especially with Dave Sullivan and Ralph the Rabbit, the # 1 Hulkamaniacs in the world. No man has ever been betrayed so many times (other than Sting or Kane) because he is, by far, the most POWERFUL ENTITY in the universe today. HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO !! The Dungeon of Doom, led by Kevin Sullivan's father ("Sullivan my SONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!") the MASTER, he formed the most elite group of wrestlers the world has ever seen. Meng, the Barbarian, The Giant, Loch Ness, Big Bubba Rogers, Yeti, Kevin Sullivan, the Ugandan Giant Kamala, the Laughing Man Hugh Morrus, Zodiac ("YES ! NO!"), Shark, Ninja Yeti, Z-Gangsta, the ULLLLLLLLLLLLLtimate Solution and the Leprechaun. Their sole mission was to take down Hulkamania. Also another mastermind involved with the Dungeon was the Mouth of the South Jimmy Hart, he is lower than a snake in the grass. Thankfully for the Zodiac Booty Man who was a spy for Hulk, probably since 1994 ("he fooled you awwwwwwwwwwwwl!!!"). When Hulk betrayed the millions of millions of Hulkamaniacs in 96, the Dungeon continued onto their quest, but failed once more, proving that the nWo is unbeatable, even with Big Bubber and the Leprechaun as DoD members. Thus concludes my article on the true Great One, the IMMORTAL Hollywood Hulk Hogan. My next artcile might be about why the WWF lemmings are stupid. Until next time, remember, Hacksaw is still Mister Saturday Night ! DF1
