How us wrestling fans who LOVE him see him and how he's perceived are two different things. I'll never believe it and his chances of one more match are LONG gone so what value does he have anymore? If he had any value - it wouldn't even be an issue (now) with wwe they'd use him but I honestly can't see the risk vs reward in this situation. It's not upto Vince - it's upto the shareholders and Hogan COULD be a very bad investment. Just sayin'. I want him back too but we must ask ourselves - HERE ON THIS BOARD - why? Why do we want him back. Do any of you really care or do you just want a TOY? Then reverse it and take it to a new level - do all of you who want a toy outweigh the bad publicity he could bring..? Are there more of us or them? I totally understand what you're saying - but bringing him "back" doesn't necessarily putting him all over RAW/TV... they could have him under a Legends-type deal (for merch/signings/Network stuff) and see how it goes if they're worried. After all, WWE/Mattel like money - and there's a shed load to be made with Hogan. And one of the main reasons I'd like him back (other than the figures) is because of the way WWE tend to "erase" him and his importance from history, when he's not in their good-graces... yes, "Top 50 Superstars of All-time" DVD, I'm looking at you!! LOL no doubt. Firing him was one thing but taking him away was SPINELESS (but I get it). That's the thing though - you ASSUME there's lots of money to be made off Hogan (I say all the clearanced merchandise the day AFTER the story broke say otherwise). It's not just wwe - toy companies, walmarts etc etc Last time I checked everyone LOST money on Hogan merch, I don't think that's just gonna turn around all of a sudden. I'd like to be with you on this but common sense says NO MORE HOGAN UNTIL HE DIES. Sorry guys... I think it's time you all made peace with this. He comes back, then cool - glad I was wrong but I'm 99.9% I'm right. It's just good business that Hogan is bad business. What you/me/we want just isn't realistic and doesn't make financial sense. Again, sorry...

I really really hope so. Hulkamania will always live on in my heart brothers!!! I hated how they only used him to constantly come out and say the same old crap about the network everytime. They made him a walking commercial. But then again that's pretty much all raw ever is. Maybe he can replace that slob Foley as the new GM.

Hogan will be back... wwe just distanced themselves until they knew it was safe to associate with hogan again.
Hogan makes money for the WWE

For the people who think Hogan will never be back, are as dumb as those Clinton supporters. That's like taking Michael Jordan away from basketball, taking Joe Montana away from football, taking Dale Earnhardt away from NASCAR. Wwe will bring back hogan, rather it's this year, next year or 5 years from now .

They have slowly been adding bits and pieces of Hogan back to the company. They're testing the fans and seeing how they'll take it. He will be back very soon. He's not just a legend, he's a MEGA-legend.
You're insane if you think a DM Hollywood Hulk Hogan won't fly off the shelf.

... That's the thing though - you ASSUME there's lots of money to be made off Hogan (I say all the clearanced merchandise the day AFTER the story broke say otherwise).... I don't know if there is money to be made or not, but what clearanced merchandise was there? WWE shop had to remove their items, but Target, Walmart, Kmart, TRU all kept their Hogan merch out, as far as I can tell. Anything that was reduced in price seemed to be due to the natural life cycle of the product. Walmart was selling Hogan birthday cards well after the statements .
