we need him to come back to boost our lines again.. think about it after he left the HOF line and the DM line slowly died. lol. I think he needs some air time 1st though , before WWE makes a move to bring him back. after this trial stuff go on a few shows get back in public eye again and then slowly come back into wwe programming. i think itll work , many others have done it.

I feel like they could have just released the Hollywood DM as planned honestly. There has been Hogan merchandise still on shelves ever since this happened, and nobody cares. Target, Walmart, K-mart, all continued to sell the figures they had, there were the nWo stack down figs, and those big 31inch figures released and sold. No boycotts, no riots, nothing. WWE greatly overestimates it's own relevance to the world outside of wrestling fans.

The NWO figure was still in the design phase.

But the prototype is there, maybe even some stock that never saw the light of day! Obviously WWE dropped him so they would'nt get bad publicity due to affiliation... So I doubt old mate Bill will start from scratch! Maybe it was like: VINCE: "Hi Bill, I'm sure you heard about Terry, so we are distancing ourselves from him and so should you, at least until it all blows over." BILL: "Ahhh Vince, you want us to stop making money? NO WAY!" VINCE: "We know how you feel, well.... God damn it... at least do not produce ANY NEW MERCH in his likeness!" BILL: "Okay...." (The Wfigs community is going to kill me!) VINCE: "Thanks Bill, could you pls contact 2K and let them know as well? Thankfully I already have a lot of money..." There was one prototype. One. They never even got to the painted samples portion of the process. They are none

I almost don't care whether he gets another Mattel or not. No ill will to the real Hulkster. I still have the Storm Collectibles on preorder and I'm hoping for a Neca Thunderlips, but I honestly wouldn't slot any of the Hogans already released into a Mattel Top 25 list. I think they've been slightly above average at best and the Hollywood prototype didn't blow me away.

When you attack the boss' son-in-law then there has to be repercussions. Hogan was the one they had to make an example of because Hall and Nash are HHH's buddies.

To paraphrase Vince McMahon's theme song, there is no chance in Hell in Hogan getting any more figures within the next 3 years or more. We got just as much chance as a Chyna, Snoop Dogg, or Mike Tyson figure as we do for Hollywood Hogan. People here may be willing to forgive and forget but the people that really matters (WWE and Mattel) haven't and won't any time in the near future.

Skeletor has done some pretty evil things and Mattel continues to make figures of him.

Things like calling the Superdome the Silverdome is not acceptable. ...that was an almighty blunder and could have been really awkward - but the way Stone Cold and The Rock made fun of it, and then Hulk emphasised SUPERdome at the end and threw the mic up in the air, turned it into a great Wrestlemania moment (to me, anyway!).

Isnt matyel the reason bryan got fired after choking michael with his tie? They have a reputation to hold to with parents. So i doubt this would be the case. Just ringside using it with advertising WWE banned people getting "choked" after the whole Benoit debacle and Bryan had a lapse in judgment. I think ol' Vinnie Mac did damage control on that one. Cena is the one who got him rehired if I recall correctly. yeah, on the network special they said something about cena getting him rehired.

They should've never fired him or stopped production imo. We need 85-86 Hogan with white trunks, boots, and kneepads, with red hulkamania shirt. 1989 Hulk Rules 1990 Python Power Hulk 94-95 wcw the dm Hollywood that was supposed to be released WWE nwo Hogan Hulk Still Rules Hollywood Hogan All with different head sculpts. IMO they can't make enough Hogans, I'd really like for them to make a different elite for every year he was in the WWF. Now that is what I am talking about!

But he never made racial comments about Moss Man. Hogan bankrupted Gawker before they could release his tape Gawker didn't release his sex tape or were going to. They played portions of it but left out the more explosive parts of Hogan going full racist. Gawker claimed journalism rights when doing so. Other places on the Web did the same showing Hulkster's python and stroke game but took it down after he threaten to sue them. Gawker was the only place still sticking to their guns and paid the price for that stance. It was only until the case was heading to court when the audio tape of Bubba and Hogan speaking got leaked.
