Hoak Hogan

[The Rainmaker]

So it's been fully confirmed by Vince that Hogan returns on Raw this Monday and that he's also the host for WrestleMania 30.

So are you looking forward to this? Do you think there will be any involvement with him and any of the story lines? Will he face up against Warrior at any point? After hating on him in TNA, do you now love him again that he's back in WWE? Will his back give out climbing through the ropes? Or do you just think, 'Fack his raisin balls!'

Let's hear your ramblings.

I'll post the gubbins:

The red and yellow is back, brother.

WWE Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan has returned to WWE and will host WrestleMania 30 on Sunday, April 6, at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome in New Orleans. Hogan will make his long-awaited return to WWE on Monday’s Raw. He will also appear on WWE Raw Backstage Pass, airing live on WWE Network immediately following Raw.

“We are thrilled that Hulk Hogan has returned home to WWE,” WWE Chairman Mr. McMahon said. “It’s fitting to have him help us celebrate 30 years of WrestleMania and usher in a new era with the launch of WWE Network.”

A larger-than-life icon, Hogan was regarded as the “Face of WWE” when Randy Orton was still in snakeskin diapers. The Hulkster’s rise to sports-entertainment immortality began on Jan. 23, 1984, when he defeated The Iron Sheik in Madison Square Garden to become WWE Champion. That victory began a pop culture phenomenon known as “Hulkamania” with Hogan bringing WWE to international prominence with appearances on MTV, his own animated series and a definitive WrestleMania III main event against Andre the Giant in front of a record 93, 173 fans in the Pontiac Silverdome.

The Hulkster went on to become a six-time WWE Champion, and a WrestleMania icon, battling everyone from The Rock to 2014 WWE Hall of Fame inductee The Ultimate Warrior on The Grandest Stage of Them All. In 2005, Hogan was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame by his “Rocky III” co-star Sylvester Stallone. His red and yellow boots have not touched a mat since December 2007, but that will change this Monday night.

“Words cannot express how excited I am to be back in the WWE family,” Hogan said. “I only have one question for the WWE Universe: Whatcha you gonna do when Hulkamania runs wild as the host of WrestleMania 30?”

I'm looking forward to seeing where it leads. Hating on him in TNA is worlds apart from him in WWE because he has no creative control in WWE. He does what Vince tells him. So, anyone who carries on about Hogan - or anyone for that matter - being received differently in the two organisations is full of shit and sour grapes. WAY different circumstances

I know but you know how Drive By'ers make me chuckle.   

Personally I'm intrigued to see what they do with him.

I am not to interested in Hogan honestly. However I will watch and see what happens

You become more of a sucker for nostalgia the older you get.

As long as he doesn't wrestle, I'm OK with Hogan back.

He'd crumble into dust if he tried wrestling again.

I see DeMott, Smiley, Dusty, Eugene and Terry Taylor? When did he come back?

Terry Taylor has been a trainer since 2012.

I feel the same way about Hulk.

[Robstar]

I thought Taylor was still with TNA!

Go the bullet in 2011.

Hogan knows he can't pull the same stunts he did in TNA, in WWE. Vince is Big Papa there, and ain't letting anyone push him around. So Hogan should be fine. His back is so wrecked, WWE probably won't let him throw a single punch, for fear his back will crumble.

[Robstar]

So, I didn't watch Raw yesterday but I just watched the video of Hogan's return. Felt like the crown noise was being piped in a bit.

All I can say is if his job is to hock the network, he's doing a pretty good job. I get the feeling that from now on, every other sentence that comes out of his mouth, brother, will contain the words "WWE Network".  

[Vegas_Bloodstone]

Is Hogan here to promote the network?  Will every sentence end with brother?  

[Cabers]

Same crappy promo work not a great start for me anyway.

I agree with you 100 percent here.

Wonder what his role will be after Wrestlemania. Not sure i'd want to see him as GM as i feel i'd just be watching TNA. I'd probably just be contempt with special one off appearances.

With any luck WWE goes un-PG and she implements it into her gimmick.

Hogan's promo work has grated against me for the last few years and last night was no different.  I found it painful to watch.

[Robstar]

It was like he had to hit all the bullet points or not get paid. I want to see them incorporate his sex tape into his intro video

No! I do not need that image in my head Rob!
