The problem with Hogan is, yes he still is "Hulk Hogan" but would his body hold up for an entire match at Wrestlemania? At least Lesnar and The Rock are still fit and healthy and can put on good matches still. Hogan i don't think could. So i think he is better off sticking with TNA where they don't expect much from him.

 

Plus where he has been on TNA for a while now. Is he still that big of a draw? I know i personally could care less to see him at Wrestlemania. I'd rather see Goldberg!

The best thing for Hogan to do would be to realize he is no longer needed in the wrestling world, neither his his slutty daughter. I use to like TNA back in 2006-2007 and then as usual when Bishoff and Hogan come to down the turn it into a pile o ######.

What exactly makes his daughter slutty? I mean, terrible actor, terrible singer, I agree 100%.

Well thankfully Brooke got kicked out earlier this year. Don't know why I thought Hulk would actually leave when his contract ran out; he (sadly) is the main reason TNA has their deal with Spike TV, and why some people have even heard of TNA. Annoyingly, he's still a household name in the wrestling world, so he still has leverage. Normal service shall resume at TNA then: Hogan gets one of the biggest salaries in the company, and TNA will offload some of their actual talent so they can afford to pay him. :/

What if Spike is paying Hogan's contract?

Thing is Hogan doesn't have a full match in him anymore, and he is not even any good on the mic these days. He stumbles over himself and sometimes seems surprised himself that he made it out there.

 

If they want an on-screen personality that doesn't necessarily wrestle they should stump up the cash for someone like Steve Austin to have a run as 'manager'.  He is far far better on the mic and would draw a much bigger crowd.  Whilst Hogan is more of a household name, for the people that would actually pay money to go see a wrestling show I reckon Austin would draw a bigger crowd.

I personally think when Hogan did storylines with his HOF ring in TNA, he crossed a line where Vince will have been too ****ed off to bring him back properly.

Good point. I forgot about that storyline, obviously for a good reason.

Yeah but WWE offered Hogan a deal, so obviously Vince doesn't care, or hold a grudge for that storyline. Plus, Vince will do what's best for business (sorta common theme these days lol) and if he can get a good PPV buyrate out of Hogan once or twice, you better believe he'll do it. So, if and when Hogan resigns with TNA, I guess we'll have to wait another year or two or three until something like that happens. By then of course, Hogan will literally be unable to work. He could probably get away with a tag match - maybe these days. I doubt very much he could do a singles match against anyone and be able to do anything worth a damn.

Hello,

LOC, spolier tags would be really nice! Some of us live in other time zones and we havent seen RAW yet! :( But no hard feelings....

 

Don't read the thread if you aren't up to date. We've never used spoiler tags (aired in the US is the neowin policy anyway - so anything on a taped show before it airs gets them, live does not) and I'm not going to start now.

Yeah, sorry about the spoiler, but this is literally the only thread where spoilers are a non-starter since it's all based on the US airings. Sorry sirs :(

 

In any event, I'm really happy for Dustin Rhodes. He deserves this run, whether it's his last or not. I would have loved to see him win world championship gold, but that's pretty unlikely obviously. But the man can go, he can act amazingly well and he's great on the stick. Thus, he's awesome. Also, they should let him use shattered dreams again. What exactly is the big deal when you have Del Rio or Orton etc low blowing guys in the balls anyways? Doesn't make sense on that one :|

I second this with an extension: stay off the social networks too. With all the wrestling related pages I (and Rappy too) like on Facebook and follow on Twitter it's very easy to have the show spoilt.

The Rhodes vs Shield tag title match was the best tag title match in a very LONG time.  I would love to see a long program between those teams trading the belts back and forth every few months.  Golddust is absolutely brilliant in the ring.  In his first run I was too young to truly appreciate what he could really do.  I would pay big money to see Golddust hold the WWE title or WHC for a good 6 months.  He more than deserves it.

    • Google's next-gen Tensor AI chips might be produced by Samsung, report says

      By Hamid Ganji · Posted

      Google's next-gen Tensor AI chips might be produced by Samsung, report says by Hamid Ganji Image via Google Google’s Tensor Processing Unit (TPU) is produced in collaboration with companies such as Broadcom and TSMC, but a recent report suggests that the search giant is in talks with Samsung to hand over part of the production to the Korean tech company. According to a report by The Information, citing people familiar with the matter, Google has begun talks with Samsung about using its chip manufacturing capacity for the next generation of Tensor AI chips. Google’s upcoming TPUs are reportedly codenamed “Icefish” and will be produced using Samsung's 2-nanometer process technology. Meanwhile, Samsung is expected to produce only a portion of the next-generation Tensor chips, with most of the production remaining at TSMC. The Information says the new Tensor chips are currently in the design stage and are scheduled to enter mass production in 2028. TSMC is generally considered one of the most reliable chip manufacturing partners and is trusted by tech giants such as Apple and Google. However, the growing demand for TSMC’s AI chips, combined with the company’s focus on meeting demand from AI data centers, has reportedly prompted Google to seek additional manufacturing partners for its next-generation TPUs. Besides Samsung and TSMC, Intel could also be assigned part of the production. The Information reported this week is that Google has begun talks with Intel to produce up to three million TPUs in 2028. However, this is not the first time Google has partnered with Samsung on chip production, as Samsung has previously manufactured Tensor chips for Pixel smartphones. Google’s Tensor Processing Unit is used in cloud data centers and competes with NVIDIA’s chips, which currently dominate the market. By relying on in-house chips, Google can not only reduce its dependence on third-party providers but also create new revenue opportunities. The company has already supplied its TPUs to the AI firm Anthropic.

      Reminder that the Premium and Ultimate plans already come with a 100 hour per month limit, which you then have to pay more to increase in 15 hour blocks.
    • Microsoft is bringing big performance improvements to OneDrive on Mac

      By MacDaddyAz · Posted

      It does invite Linux because MS should have been improving their products all along these years instead chose to ignore the users now this year they’re making all of these improvements to their products where as Linux doesn’t have this kind of problems in fact it has gotten so good I can even play Windows games in Steam that I no longer ever needed Windows to carry on with my life, unlike you still use Windows and chose to try beat down down those who don't use Windows because they love their LG TV. (Surprisingly I actually own a 55” LED LG TV and it has been going strong for almost 14 years, longer than any Sony TV”)

      As much as I love owning my own hardware, it's hard to argue with the value. I'm not a huge gamer, I'd actually be interested in a cheaper plan with limited monthly hours, or even a pay-by-the-hour plan.
    • Euro-Office must default to ODF to be considered "genuinely European", LibreOffice argues

      By leonsk29 · Posted

      Well, they (LibreOffice/The Document Foundation) are bitchy and whiny, yes, but they're right, at least this time. It doesn't make sense to market something as "free and open source to thwart dependency on foreign companies' software" but at the same time, using the formats of said companies (Microsoft) by default. That way, you are changing nothing, essentially, you're just using another UI. We all know that users just use the defaults and almost never change them. I'm not saying they should drop other formats altogether, but they shouldn't default to the thing they're trying to run away from in the first place. If you're gonna do something, just go all the way in, don't stop in the middle, IMO. Otherwise, shut up and move along.
