Does he have a network willing to air his promotion?

And what stars will this promotion have? TNA and WWE have them all. I think itll flop like WSX. Exactly. It'll have Hogan, Goldberg, Big Show & a few other guys past their prime. Who would Hogan ever expect his promotion to suceed when none of them would plan on putting younger talent over. Like let's say Hogan's promotion even got to TNA's rate and some guys jumped ship, I can't see Hogan or Goldberg putting any of them over.

Look at the last year of WCW *CRAP*. Nothing but young guys *DAVID ARQUETTE* and they went over on guys like Flair and DDP *SELF HIGH-FIVE* and others and they still couldn't carrying the promotion because Russo *INSERT RUSSO JOKE HERE* did not establish the vets as still being able to go. He portrayed Flair as a washed up has-been *SO CLOSE*, so when he lost, there was nothing special about it.

I would definately like to see this league happen. Regardless of what Hogan has done recently, he's one of the few that could start a legitimate alternative to the stale WWE. Wrestling needs competition, and that competition will guage what the fans want to see, and not what Vince wants to see.
Most importantly, though, wrestling needs to be grounded. The business is too high risk, too high spot oriented and too quickly paced right now. Someone, and that someone could be an old schooler like Hogan, needs to bring the wrestling back in wrestling. Otherwise we have a product filled with extreme moves and highspots that nobody reacts to anymore. It's all been done, and it's all been done too much.
Bring back the longer matches, I say; bring back the storylines built on emotion and excitement; bring back a product based on athleticism and storytelling, not big cans and ladder falls.
As much as I love the old ECW, it ruined the current state of wrestling. The extreme aspects of this business work well when handled by someone who gets that angle like Paul Heyman. Vince doesn't get what extreme really means, and thus he needs to stop with that.

How long did the XWF last? And how many people even heard of that? If his first fed didn't last, what makes him think this one will be any different?

He speaks about the psycology of the business...then he says MONEY MONEY YEA YEA MONEY MONEY YEA YEA. The psycology behind getting into the wrestling business is to work for the most successful wrestling company in th world and be one of its top guys and appreciate the lime light and the thrll of the ride. I wrestle in the indy circuit and every single one of us has instilled in our heads that we just want exposure, fans, popularity, people to chant or boo our names, we don't give two Chocolate SharkS about the money.
However, hulk hogan loves the business and the business and the money and the money. As far as I am concerned, he doesn't appreciate anything about the industry...except for the money...and thats not right.

what about TNA? what has hogan already pasted that without a fed?TNA hasn't taken out WWE and WcW, ECW didn't. Is Hogan different? No matter how many stars you have no matter how smart you are the casual fan and people who don't watch wrestling think wrestling? oh WWE. Thats the way it is.

If you wrestle indies and say you love the craft and not the money you're lying through your ass
Anyone, no matter who you are, Loves theifr craft and tries to make it better but that doesn't mean they totally dont care about the money. Im sure they would love to make money by doing their craft

HUlk is real dick. He needs to realize just because he is "Hulk Hogan", he's not gonna stomp over everyone. WWE will remain top of the wrestling chain.

Why not help with TNA, theres no way he can get another start up group. It would be all fresh talent and would take forever to develop.

Vince thought he was unbeatable before and Hogan made another promotion #1 and turned Vince into a little bitch for 2 years. Then Vince gave himself more TV time as the number 1 heel of the company and then him and Austin were making money quicker than Hogan ever did. I like Hogan and everything but it's true.

Personally I think this is gonna be a bad idea. Rumors have flurried for quite a while now that it's going to be geared towards more legends. How long can it last?

So Vince and Austin stole the anti-authority nWo angle and ran with it. Without the nWo, there would be no Attitude era. um..without ecw there would be no attitude era

um..without ecw there would be no attitude era The Attitude era was created and sustained through the Austin/McMahon anti-authority anti-hero angle. It was not sustained with a bunch of garbage wrestling that consisted of no psychology. The undercard may have had those crash and burn ECW style garbage matches but the Austin/McMahon nWo ripoff angle is what drew the crowds. This can't be JSWO because he isn't this bias and stupid RJMC? MonicaLJN? which sad user who got deleted or banned and decided to return because they have nothing better to do is this?
