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.

    • Windows 11's big performance boost is finally available for all

      By Case_f · Posted

      Frankly, I blame whoever is writing such articles. "A big improvement/update and/or new feature is now available to everyone! Also, use this unofficial tweak tool to enable it because it actually isn't available to you yet officially and might not in fact even be entirely ready or whatever, hence why it is perhaps not enabled for you*. But it's great and you should enable it!" I mean there's nothing wrong with sharing info about some feature you might need to enable via unofficial means, of course. It's just that these articles tend to essentially end up being two news pieces in one, and one of them tends to be a bit misleading. (*Yes, yes, the "it's a controlled rollout!" thing. Not a fan of that one either. The argument, not the actual rollout.)

      Thank you. Will do. I read in the release notes that editor config might be at play here.

    • OpenAI is making Codex more useful in Chrome and the cloud

      By pradeepviswav · Posted

      OpenAI is making Codex more useful in Chrome and the cloud by Pradeep Viswanathan OpenAI's Codex now has more than 5 million users, up nearly 4x from earlier this year. To further accelerate Codex's growth among developers, OpenAI today announced that it has agreed to acquire Ona, a company that builds secure cloud execution and orchestration technology for developers. Ona will enable developers to run Codex with persistent and controlled cloud infrastructure for long-running agentic workflows. Right now, most Codex execution happens locally on developers' laptops and PCs, and the agents work continuously for hours. Through Ona, OpenAI aims to make Codex agents keep working for days without being tied to a user’s local machine or an active session. This will be an important capability for enterprises that want to deploy AI agents in production while maintaining control over infrastructure, data, security boundaries, credential scope, logging, and review workflows. Like any acquisition, the deal is still subject to customary closing conditions, including regulatory approvals. Until the deal closes, OpenAI and Ona will continue to operate as separate companies. After closing, Ona’s team will join the Codex team to improve developer workflows. Alongside the Ona acquisition announcement, OpenAI today introduced a few Codex updates. Developers can now save Codex rate limit resets and use them later instead of losing them when they are not needed immediately. OpenAI is also adding a referral option where users can invite a friend to Codex and get a saved rate limit reset. OpenAI today also announced a developer mode for browser use in Chrome and the Codex in-app browser. With this mode, Codex can use the Chrome DevTools Protocol to debug web apps, inspect pages, and work more directly with browser-based development workflows. Developers can use this when they want Codex to profile JavaScript, inspect console output and network traffic, examine web page states including the DOM and applied styles, and more.
