The Wrestling Thread.....Has No Confidence - Part 34

[Dr. Evil]

John Laryngitis is Al Bundy.....

Not really. John has never scored four touchdowns in one game at Polk High, nor is he the founder of No Ma'am.

 

[BlackLantern]

nor did he win the softball championship for the New Market Mallers

 

[Dr. Evil]

Johnny Ace also never had a sub sandwich as an instrument, sang the lyrics to Pyscho Dad or called someone a chicken.

HULK HOGAN RESPONDS TO AJ STYLES TWITTER COMMENT

Another babyface, AJ Styles, was dissed by heel Hogan when he was asked whether Styles could get to the next level of wresting superstardom:

"It's never too late. I mean, I just don't know. I, when I first came in all bright-eyed and bushy-tailed a couple of years ago, I had a ton of suggestions which I was kind of pushing real hard, which I thought would take him to a crazy, crazy level, and nobody responded. So, I don't know at this point? I have my ideas, but a lot of things that I believe in, and what I feel from the crowd, and what I know. The little I know about this business. Sometimes, it's either taken and used, or used and it doesn't work, or it's not used at all. So, it's just ... it's my opinion. I don't know at this point."
​

Lost on Hogan was the fact that no one responding to the new gimmick he suggested for Styles had less to do with the performer and more to do with how lame the idea was to repackage Styles as the new Nature Boy and to rip off all of Flair's old mannerisms. Given that no-one in Hogan's heel stable of Immortal is currently feuding with Styles, this answer was likely a genuine dig, so it's unsurprising that Styles gave Hogan a receipt via Twitter:

"Frustration setting in when your own guys bury the company that u have worked so hard for........ Brother!"
​

Of course, Hogan couldn't help himself and had to respond to the controversy on Twitter, as well, with several tweets, split between complaining about smarks taking everything too seriously, while emphasizing that he was preaching the truth ... brother:

@SteelCity1981 yo jobronie mark,I'm a heel brother. HH

@antmaurizio just waiting for somebody to figure it out and do Today Show,Fox and Friends ,Leno,radio,tv ,ect,instead of the same 5star

@antmaurizio Matches over and over again. Brother. HH

@antmaurizio and main stream and world wide international media on a miss my ass basis,brother. HH

Goodnight HULKAMANIACS and jabronie marks without a life that don't know it a work when you work a work and work yourself into a shoot,marks
​

He also retweeted these comments by his loyal fans:

I respect AJ Styles but he couldn't get on @HowardStern or every show on ESPN. @HulkHogan promoted TNA more in 1 day than Styles ever could.
Also, isn't @HulkHogan a heel now? Isn't he in @anglefoods1 corner in this whole thing? Could he not have been in character?
.
@DukesWrestling Anyone who was smart and actually read the interview knows it was in character. Haters Gon' Hate @HulkHogan @anglefoods1

@HulkHogan has been a class act in every interview I have seen leading up to this event. He's doing his job plain & simple!

@HulkHogan has gotten more mainstream exposure for this event than any other wrestler in TNA or WWE--the Rock couldn't do what he's doing.

@CoachKeathley @HulkHogan That said, Hogan has done an excellent job hyping up this event. As always. He's the consumate professional.

@HulkHogan well like they say Big Guy! A Job is a Job is a Job! I love how you work them Jobs! Sleep Well Hulkster!

@HulkHogan still alot of uneducated fans out there sir

@HulkHogan We all know its a work keep shooting on the marks Hulkster!

@RayPMusic @hulkhogan Yep, his ability behind the scenes to close deals, make things happen in the media is immeasurable..

Wrestling didn't make @HulkHogan - he made wrestling. I don't know how anyone could possibly question that.....
​

 

[Dr. Evil]

The Rock's last film made over $200 million domestically. Hogan's last film probably only made $2 domestically. That fan is delusional in thinking that Hogan has gotten more mainstream exposure than the Rock.

 

[chamber-music]

I know some people who genuinely thought Hulk Hogan was dead. There are plenty of folk who don't even know he still wrestles

 

[Wheels]

Wrestling didn't make @HulkHogan - he made wrestling. I don't know how anyone could possibly question that.....

What a load of crap. Hogan and his hardcore fans try to act like he did it all himself.

 

[Black Dynamite]

Yea I doubt he'd ever do anything with pro wrestling. He's simply taking pro wrestling as an influence and using it to hype fights. The guy has an incredible ability to draw an ire from the MMA fanbase. People either loe him or hate him. He is the talk of the MMA world.

He's very smart and is very quick-witted and can speak off the cusp. Wrestlers could take a note or two from Chael Sonnen when is comes to cutting promos.





Weak! I cannot wait to see Chael stomp Anderson

you do realize Silva already beat Sonnen once

 

[Wheels]

Silva is gonna whip dat tail.

 

[Metallo]

John Laryngitis is Al Bundy.....

Bundy was actually funny to watch. Animals idiot younger brother is not. Johnny Ace's only heat is annoying heel heat. He doesn't have the charisma that McMahon or Bischoff had as heel authority figures that made you love hating them.

 

[Wheels]

JR working people on twitter. Don't click if you don't want to know RAW spoilers.

[Superark]

Yes he won the first fight by pulling off a miracle submission at the last minute. It was an amazing comeback, but Sonnen whipped him for nearly 24 minutes and was a minute and a half away from losing his belt. It's not as if Silva just dominated Chael.

Silva's an amazing talent, but some guys are just horrible match-ups and that's exactly what Sonnen is for Silva. Next time around I suspect Cheal will look for the finish and try to sub Silva.

Silva is gonna whip dat tail.

Nope. This time Chael finishes the job and leaves no doubt or anything to chance.

Sonnen had elevated TRT levels and Silva had injured ribs. That had to be the best performance of Sonnen's life and Silva's worst performance and Silva still beat him. I don't see the fight going down the same way as the first.

 

[Wheels]

I'm going to be rooting for Silva anyway, because I enjoy his fighting style, so hopefully he gets the win.

We do have a UFC thread though.

 

[Lobo]

I dont think the fight will be the same I do think Chael will win the fight, though.

That being said this is the wrestling thread and lets not get too sidetracked.

 

[Black Dynamite]

yea I'm done derailing the thread haha

I love how people use the TRT excuse. The fact of the matter is Silva has never had good TDD and he's been taken down by much worse wrestlers than Chael. Sonnen is an Olympic level wrestler. It's a horrible style match-up for Silva. Chances are Silva ends up on his back once again. You can use the rib excuse all you want. There's no true way of knowing how it affected Anderson. Only the rematch will say for sure. But every fighter goes into a fight with some sort of injury. Blackhouse is known for their injury/sickness excuses.

And by the way, there's a not true way of knowing what Sonnen's testerone levels were, since the current drug testing doesn't do that. Chael's testosterone to estrogen levels were abnormal and that's what they test for, but that doesn't mean his levels weren't within the normal range.

It's a flawed drug testing system, which is why they should do blood test.

Lol yea sorry, we got a little off track there

 

[NDX]

I remember when these threads would get derailed all the time and we encouraged it. Feels like a century ago.

Anyone watching Bound For Glory tonight? I'm thinking it's going to be a really good show.

I'm watching everything but Hogan vs Sting.

 

[Superark]

I'm watching everything but Hogan vs Sting.

As bad as that might be, I'm still going to watch that part based on two things....1) Curiosity. I just want to see how they play it off and if Philly craps on it. 2) Sting is my favorite of all time so I can never not watch one of his matches.

 

[Wheels]

I just feel like a Hogan vs Sting match/angle is not worth my time in 2011.

 

[The Sage]

I just feel like a Hogan vs Sting match/angle is not worth my time in 2011.

Any match that has Hogan's name attached to it isn't worth the time in 2011.
