I'd love to see Cena/Hogan vs Enzo & Big Cass, obviously Cena will do most of the work with the hot tag in to Hogan who clears the house, hits the leg-drop and hits the pin. You will think wtf why Enzo & Cass? Well any real team will do, the mic work will be great with these four, and instead of pairing two guys together just to lose at Mania to them, put a REAL tag team who will get a good rub from working with Cena/Hogan on the biggest stage of them all.

I honestly don't see him passing a physical. Even if he does, I see a part of his body giving out on him at the last minute...like how the SummerSlam 2006 match was almost nixed after his knee blew out. Besides, then I can still claim that I was at his last WWE match, versus Orton in 2006. If he did pass the physical, then I would want Hogan versus Lesnar in a suplex city match.

I hope Hulk is at every WrestleMania from here on out that he is healthy enough to appear at. I don't get the lack of respect some of you have for Hulk, if it were not for him there would be no WrestleMania most likely. Always remember, there was a Hulkamania before there was a WrestleMania. I'm not saying Hulk should wrestle, but having him appear at Mania makes it feel more complete for me. Hogan and Hulkamania were constructs of Vince McMahon. Without Vince to complete and refine the persona, Terry Bollea would best be known for his role in Rocky 3. His time passed long ago, and WWE has proven that it's much more than just the Hogan era. He's gotten a much greater percentage of the spotlight than he's deserved in recent years. He should go play shuffleboard and sit in his rocking chair while young talents rightly get the chance to shine at Wrestlemania that he once had.

There were no writers in 1985, even McMahon only had so much input into personas and a guys tap. Hulk refined his own character, getting rid of words like daddy and phrases like it really turns me on. On his own whims. Hulk and Okerlund in a hot room doing promos. No skinny little tv writer.

Anyone who legitimately thinks this is about disrespecting Hogan have no idea what the hell they're talking about.
Yes, the guy helped put wrestling on the map. That was thirty years ago. There is absolutely NO reason he should be wrestling in a WWE ring in 2016. You're just wrong thinking otherwise. Nobody has a problem with him in a role like he, Rock and Austin had a few years ago, but again, there is ZERO reason for him to get a match over literally anybody else on the roster.

If they keep him off RAW for the 5 weeks prior to wrestlemania and make it a surprise then it would be enjoyable. instead of him coming out each week plugging the WWE Network like pre wm30.

We bought it hook, line, and sinker. Hogan got his return match in 2002. He got his organic feud with Vince in 2003. He's been inducted into the Hall of Fame. Hogan and his fans have had more than enough closure. WWE fans who no longer/don't care about seeing a 61-year-old man in mock combat shouldn't feel that they owe him anything.

I'd be okay with Hulk Hogan in a NJPW legend role. 6 man tag very early in the show. He throws a few punches, maybe a body slam, gets a cover. Entire match lasts 6 minutes. Anything else is unneeded.

Hogan probably has one match left in him, then that's it. He should do a tag match with John Cena againts two others.

Vince gobbled up all the talent from all of the territories, I get it, but let's not act like he created Hogan, Piper, JYD, and all of these highly charismatic performer's personas. He exposed them to audiences otherwise impossible to reach, nationwide and global, but Hulk was Hulk in the AWA give or take some small changes he made in glorified closets doing local ads with gene okerlund. You think Vince created the Macho Man character toI ?Watch some ICW and Memphis and get back to me. I get it, all the guys you watch today come out of a performance center with generic characters and spoon fed lines, but it wasn't always that way.There was a time when you performed and the promoter promoted. There was even a booker who simply booked. Good times.

I would love to see Hogan and Cena tagging up against 2 hot heels for the event.....that way Cena can do most of the work, have a marquee match on the card and Hogan can be involved minimally.

At all. Even guys that have been watching for years can see that.

Hogan needs to stop wrestling and just wait for Indian Jones to come for the Holy Grail.

I think a tag match with Cena would be fun.

Hogan vs. Austin....Austin retires Hogan in Texas. It's the only match that makes any sense if either of them wrestle. If Hogan wrestles he just might die in Texas.

I get it, all the guys you watch today come out of a performance center with generic characters and spoon fed lines, but it wasn't always that way.There was a time when you performed and the promoter promoted. There was even a booker who simply booked. Good times. I've seen a large percentage of Hogan's pre-WWF work (Memphis, AWA, and Japan included) as well as that of Macho Man. I owned much of it on VHS back when tape trading was still in its infancy on the 'net. Hogan was just another big bodybuilder who let more skilled/veteran opponents work around him and carry the drama. He was slightly set apart because he was lucky enough to be in the right place at the right time for his role in Rocky 3. Old school bookers never would have given him a chance to be the #1 guy or the time and effort to refine his character into something innovative. Vince changed the game because he could hide his talents flaws (Hogan was a prime example) and with glitz, glamour, and storylines. Without Vince, there never would have been a Hulkamania and wrestling would still be a regional form of entertainment. All of that is beside the point as well. Hulk's prime was 30 years ago. The NWO was almost 20 years ago. Hogan has already milked his past fame into spots at more recent Wrestlemanias than he deserves. It's time for Old Leather Butt to let go of days gone by and let the business advance. Actually, A LOT of old middle-aged and old wrestlers need to let Wrestlemania go.
