July 27, 201510 yr comment_5688138 It is fair to say that his image-preserving abilities declined post-WCW / final WWE run.
July 28, 201510 yr comment_5688225 I wonder what's left for him in terms of staying financially stable now. Japan?
July 28, 201510 yr Author comment_5688294 Has he ever done the convention circuit in earnest? Even after this he could make a shitload out of that, wrestling fans forgive anything for people they like (Benoit for the HOF for example), Q&A sessions like Regal and Foley and the like do, combine that with what'll surely be a massive amount for a shoot interview, and that'll keep him going before this is forgiven/forgotten/he shows contrition on Oprah and is back on WWE TV in a couple of years.
July 28, 201510 yr comment_5688309 It's actually quite surprising how the MASTER of backstage politics and image preservation could fuck up quite so badly. I don't know about him being a master of image preservation... there are the comments about Graziano blaming him for what happened, the suncream photos with Brooke, him dating a woman that looks like his daughter and probably a few others that I am forgetting. He'll be eventually back... Hogan is truly a master at redeeming himself time after time. Let's not forget all his failed business ventures (Pastamania, the Hulk Hogan Grill, Hogan's Beach, the "Hulk Hogan Museum" in Florida which bombed hard)......not to mention all his terrible Hollywood flops..... Hogan's smart enough to not use his own money in ventures like that. I don't doubt that he got paid strictly for using his likeness in those endeavours. And they're plenty of actors who have made careers of acting in flops, they just don't finance the pictures.
