They fired Hogan from the company. They aren't just going to reinstate him right out of the gate. They may do it in a few years or whatever, but not now.

Ratings are low? Doesn't surprise me. Not much is interesting these days.

Its called wishful thinking. Ratings low? Biggest iconic ever still having charisma minor scandal not. I am betting sooner rather than later because what he did was trivial. There was footage of him and reference to Sting beating him.

Expendables 4 is in preproduction and Hogan is being set to play the main villain. The Rock says he wants to play a villain in the series. Why not be Hogan's #2? That would be cool!

I like how a guy saying he's a racist and saying ***** ***** ***** is a minor scandal.

Even so. Yo. They have other legends they could use. Foley is pretty squeaky clean. Why bother with Hogan when he's damaged goods?

And who said Hogan was 'set' for Expendables?

*XERO* · 10-01-2015, 07:41 PM

I'm not looking forward to that fight with him and Stallone if he's in it.

*MikeandRaph87* · 10-01-2015, 07:55 PM

Its in scripting stage, but Stalone wants him as the villain and Hogan wants to do it. Could it fall through? Yes. Could it come through and be interesting. Yes. I have a fondness for the series.

*XERO* · 10-01-2015, 08:40 PM

Just exactly how mobile IS Hogan now? He claimed a while back he was "training" for one more match in the WWE before he got fired, but I dunno.

I just don't see him transitioning to a major role as a villain that might be required to do some activity.

*BubblyShell22* · 10-02-2015, 11:47 AM

Yeah, guy's had a lot of problems with his knees and his back. I don't see it happening unless he can get into shape.

jbeeman85 · 10-02-2015, 12:50 PM

Going to a NXT show tonight in Nashville's War Memorial Auditorium. Been living here my whole life and never been to that place. I think it's a bit small but should be good enough for a NXT show. Will be my first time seeing NXT live since it stopped being a weird show they taped before Smackdown with no fan interest.

Even if he is "In Shape" Knees and neck injuries are no Joke for anyone not named Kurt Angle. Hell Edge had to retire because of discs fusing. Plus, would anyone really wanna watch Hogan wrestle again?

*BubblyShell22* · 10-02-2015, 03:45 PM

Only the diehard Hulkamaniacs who still think he's relevant. I could care less whether he wrestles again myself.

Have fun, jbeeman.

My sis just called me and said that she read an article about John Cena that says he's taking a leave of absence due to personal reasons but that it wasn't specified what it was for. Then she told me she read in the article that he supposedly failed the wellness policy, but I doubt that's true because I can't see him deliberately doing it on purpose with how devoted he is to the company.

So, has anyone heard anything about this? With my sister, it's best not to believe anything because she lies a lot, so that's why I want to confirm whether this is legit. She didn't say where the article was from though, so I'm not sure what site she was on. She could have been on Facebook for all I know.

*XERO* · 10-02-2015, 08:53 PM

We won't know the whole story until Cena himself tells us, and I doubt he will at this moment.

If that's the case of him taking time off, why did he win the US title back in the first place? Just not a good deal.

*BubblyShell22* · 10-03-2015, 03:52 PM

Maybe something came on all of a sudden that caused him to make the decision to take time off. Things like that tend to happen all the time. I still say it has something to do with his family and he has to take care of it. I just wish him the best if that's the case.

*ZariusTwo* · 10-09-2015, 03:55 AM

Looks like James Storm has jumped from TNA to NXT now.

*Leo656* · 10-09-2015, 07:47 PM

Isn't "TNA" basically just "Kurt Angle and EC3 rolling around in an empty 'arena' with piped-in crowd noise" at this point? Like, who's left?

I've never in my life seen a horse keep trying to limp on after taking so many bullets. Just f*cking DIE already. Nobody cares anymore.

*BubblyShell22* · 10-11-2015, 07:05 AM

I thought TNA was done at this point. Weren't they supposed to be finished by September?

*ZariusTwo* · 10-13-2015, 03:59 AM

So WWE have decided to pretty much bury Ziggler and Rusev and drop their angle now that Rusev and Lana are engaged in reality. Both Ziggler and Rusev lost their matches on RAW this week.

*BubblyShell22* · 10-13-2015, 11:39 AM

Well, if they were engaged before this whole storyline, I don't see why they had to have it in the first place. It was just dumb, but this is WWE so you know that's how they roll when it comes to this stuff. Best match was the John Cena vs. Ziggler match hands down. Heck, there was even a marriage proposal of all things! But the last match was just dumb. I had no interest in it.

*XERO* · 10-13-2015, 01:07 PM

I think that marriage proposal was planted and just a subliminal jab at Rusev/Lana's real engagement.

This whole angle was a waste of time.

Considering they put on Bound For Glory in front of literally 250 people, I'd say they're finished whether they're airing shows or not...

*BubblyShell22* · 10-13-2015, 04:53 PM

I don't think that marriage proposal was planned. But I do know that my cousin Blake went to the event and he got a picture of Roman Reigns coming out of the bathroom which was cool. He posted it on FB and my mom saw it and told me.
