December 10, 201212 yr Author comment_5522154 Hulk Hogan will make a major announcement about his career next week. Other WWF superstars - namely The Rockers, Hillbilly Jim, Warlord & Slick, Brutus Beefcake and Earthquake himself - chime in with what they expect to happen. Summerslam was hyped really well. No wonder it outdrew WM.
December 10, 201212 yr comment_5522195 I vividly recall how amped I was for Summerslam (at age 8). I should add that I really wanted to see Hogan *and Tugboat* get revenge... poor Tugboat.
December 19, 201212 yr comment_5523075 Hillbilly Jim gets acknowledged as Hogan's buddy for the first time in about 5 years. You'd think HE'D have turned on Hogan at some point considering he got abandoned once he broke his leg.
January 2, 201312 yr comment_5525563 I liked this as it showed how invested everyone in the locker room face and heel alike were in Hogan coming back.
January 8, 201312 yr comment_5526820 With all these superstars having sound bites it really builds the Hogan comeback really well, and most importantly made it important.
January 30, 201312 yr comment_5531764 Big announcement to come from Hogan. Gene hints at possible retirement. We get some wrestler comments about whether Hogan will return. Earthquake says Hogan will not come back. Always liked Earthquake's interview style of moving up and down.
January 27, 201510 yr comment_5651659 Pretty standard face/heel dynamic here. You can tell that they're trying to push the Rockers because they get the third babyface slot along with Beefcake and Hillbilly. Why Warlord as the other heel along with Quake, though? I would have loved to have seen Perfect in that slot, considering that he's with Hogan's archenemy Heenan and that they have history together. Maybe they were thinking about a Hogan/Warlord program at some point in the fall, only to change their plans. Didn't the Rockers cut an earlier promo where one of them (I forget which) actually said that Hogan should think about retiring, or do I have my teams mixed up?
January 18, 20178 yr comment_5784113 Gene confirms that Hulk Hogan is getting better and next week he’ll be making the single most important announcement of his career. Speculation is running rife on whether he’s going to announce his retirement from wrestling, or whether he will be returning to the ring. The Rockers, Hillbilly Jim, Slick & The Warlord, Brutus Beefcake and Jimmy Hart & The Earthquake all have their say, with the faces hoping he’ll return and the heels convince that he’ll retire. Earthquake says that he’ll never be back and he’ll never be the same man again after the Earthquake splashes that he gave him. Okerlund inform us we’ve still got time to get our letters to Hulk before he makes his big announcement, and once more gives us the address to send them to.
