I was a big Sid fan back in the day. I was really pissed when Hogan dragged him out of the 92 Rumble.

i like him as well...his "half the brain" botch was hilarious though

Hogan had a little craziness that Cena lacks. Sure he wasn't Warrior or Savage crazy, but he still had a little insanity that made his flag waving and "say your prayers and eat your vitamins" crap sound endearing.

Cena is just a generic boy scout.

Hogan when he was in Japan could actually go in the ring pretty well.

As was I. That Rumble was great.

i can see how overrated hogan is now, but i agree with burt

[BigRedLedbetter]

Yeah watching some old Hogan matches back it was like wow this got over so much. No wonder he ducked Flair for so long in the ring. Flair would have worked circles around him.

I watched the Austin/HHH podcast today, and I honestly agreed with everything HHH said about the business. I can't wait for the day he takes over.

At least Cena puts forth a good effort in the ring, I have legit never seen a good Hogan match. I've seen ones where the other guy carried him to something adequate, but I've never seen a good Hogan match.

I did agree with most of what he said. Trips is kind of an assbag but he knows the business well and I like his vision.

Austin lobbed a lot of softballs up at him.

He asked him about Punk, Chyna, and how being married to Steph has benefitted his career. When was the last time he had to answer questions like that?

Yeah good point. I did like his response about Chyna. HHH sells the products very well.

I wish there was more Punk talk about killing his push in 2011. Punk is such a pulverizing and popular figure. People wanna see him and HHH played a big role in pushing him out.

I also kinda wanted to hear more about the curtain call. Good interview nonetheless. I love Austin's podcast.

Well, he basically said it was Vince's call to put him over Punk. Not saying I believe him, but he answered it.

True. Oh the shady stuff of wrestling. Maybe Punk isn't totally truthful either? Who knows.

This is the Savage mark in me but the match with Hogan at WM5 was good. Carry job by Savage.

I must say, I'm not minding this free February thing.

Except that for some reason the video is stuttery as all hell in Chrome.

Well and it's only $9.99.

Cena will always be that lame white rapper to me. How that guy got big, I'll never understand.

The Kids love him. Really, is he any lamer than Hulk Hogan?

He's a lot lamer than Hogan. Hogan had a great look, was awesome on the mic, and had all kinds of fun schtick in the ring, even if he couldn't wrestle.

Despite not watching a lot of wrestling for years, I somehow caught Cena's earliest fights, before he had a gimmick. I thought for sure he was destined to be a Norman Smiley type jobber who would get destroyed every week. He got crushed in that match.

Imagine my surprise when I found out later he was the champ.

lol @ norman smiley

[Simple Torture]

Smiley's WCW hardcore run was the first thing i watched when i got the network.
