Jim Ross on Hogan's return

[puppetmaster]

From his blog:

"Why do so many people seemingly question the logic of WWE in perhaps bringing Hulk Hogan back for a WM33 Orlando appearance? Seems like good marketing mto me and something I that I'd concur with without any reservations. Hogan's an icon, the Babe Ruth of his era, and would appeal to many fans who will engage the April 2, 2017 event. I think that it would be fun for many fans to see the red and yellow front and center at Wrestlemania because after all he did have a significant hand in helping build the brand that changed the business.

WWE is not unlike any other entity in that they need to gather all the star power that they can muster for their annual, extravaganza whether said attractions wrestle or they don't."

For what it's worth, I don't think JR is racist. I just think he's lookin at this strictly from a business-money standpoint.

It's Hulk Hogan. If it was George the Animal Steele, yeah he'd probably never get an invite back.

But it's entertainment, Hogan got his "whipping" so to speak, and now they feel as though it's been long enough where they can make big money again.

I won't be cheering for him, but it is what it is.

You guys call people CACS everyday on here
Everyone has said something racist , I really doubt he's really "racist"

He said "I'm a racist," and said exactly how he applies his racism.

And I'm not "you guys". If you stay here with people calling you a cracker, that's your choice; and once you've made it you have no right to complain. Some people are legit turning off wwe if hogan returns. You can make the same choice with the coli.

He wasn't making big money for them in the 2014 run..he almost came out to silence for most of those appearances. It was getting embarrassing.

Its Wrestling brehs, CaCs gon CaC

I'm still waiting for him to do that proper apology and discussion about what he said on the tape but he dont wanna do that. So its either way

U heard what he said..he sees Blacks as subhuman basically. Like them putting their d1ck in his flat ass daughter is only tolerated if they have 8 figures or better. He's not a good man. He's a utter phony and fraud.

It was very tepid but he was pushing merch from the shop and mattel numbers (Nostalgia always sells mind you) and that was the reason to keep him around on a legends contract

But I keep thinking these tapes have kinda fukked even that so its gonna be weird to see. I imagine if he comes back and his merch dont sell dont be surprised if they quietly drop him again

But onsider the fact that now, alot of ppl will be interested in not only the crowd reaction, but what Hogan will say. Vince will make millions off that alone.
