Why do people hate hulk hogan

Hogan was the leader of this group of renegades, who seemingly "took over" WCW. As a result of this development, one of the most popular wrestling personas of all time was born. Sting, a popular wrestler of the time, changed from a bright and colorful persona to a dark and enigmatic one a persona that is often compared to the Crow.

He began to wear black and white face paint, hung out in the raptors, carried a baseball bat to the ring, and became a one man army against the nWo. At Starrcade , in what should've been the end of the nWo, Sting defeated Hulk Hogan to win the World Heavyweight Championship, though the match had an anti-climactic ending, as Hogan previously won the match after referee Nick Patrick made a "fast count" though it is reported that Hogan used his creative control and convinced Patrick to do a rather normal count , until Bret Hart came out and restarted the match how he had the power to do so, I'll never know.

He reformed the nWo and had what is arguably the greatest match of his career; the Icon vs Icon match against the Rock at WrestleMania X8. During the match, Hogan received the majority of the cheers, despite being the heel of the match. A few years later Hulk Hogan was finally inducted into the Hall of Fame in Hulk Hogan is a household name. He has transcended wrestling and has appeared in movies, TV shows, and TV ads. But now that we've focused on Hogan in a positive light, let's take a step back and see what some of his downfalls are.

Hulk Hogan was definitely an icon and a true showman in the ring. But is he still? During his time in WCW, which was a prominent point in his career, Hulk Hogan was already past his prime. He could still go and had some good matches with the likes of Sting and Goldberg, but he wasn't the superstar he once was. Even further still, he became WWE Champion in at the age of Think about it.

A year-old man was chosen to represent a wrestling company as their "Undisputed" Championship. I can understand respecting a legend by allowing them one last great run, but Hogan wasn't exactly lacking in the championship department. I mean, he held the WWE title five times before that run! Did they really need to make him champion during a time when there was so much talent was, shall I say, running wild? To make things worse, Hogan's biggest asset was his mic skills.

His mic skills and crowd control were part of his legacy and arguably carried him to success. During his run, he had a few notable botches and often got tongue-tied. Though slip-ups are common in the WWE, it was obvious that Hogan was becoming less and less like the star he used to be as each year passed.

I almost forgot to mention one of the biggest mistakes that probably still haunts him to this day: WCW. Yes, he was a big star in the company, but he had a hand in taking that company down. Poor booking decisions and ridiculous angles are the biggest reasons for the failure of WCW, but Hulk Hogan and the other megastars of the company also had their part in its destruction.

Hogan and a lot of his friends had creative control over their characters. They could choose whether or not they accepted certain angles or outcomes. Obviously, Hogan and the others didn't want to look bad and chose not to put over many young guys. Russo claims the plan was for Hogan to beat Jarrett, but it turn out to be a "fake" title and the real match would take place later that night between Jarrett and Booker T.

Hogan's side of the story is that they agreed that he would take the title off Jarrett, but when the match started, Jarrett just laid down, taking Hogan by surprise and feeling angry at how Russo handled the situation.

After insulting Russo, Russo said a few choice words about Hogan, which resulted in a lawsuit. No matter which side your on in that debate, one thing is clear: the event would not have happened if Hogan would've just agreed to put someone over.

That's the biggest argument against Hogan: He doesn't put anyone over. Throughout his entire career, I only witnessed a handful of clean losses for Hogan. He spent almost his entire career refusing to lose in order to protect his image. He has failed to truly "give back" to the business like other wrestling greats have most notably Chris Jericho. WWE web site told a few hours ago to remove all references to him. That's all I know so far.

I am shocked by the statements made by Hulk Hogan. It's unfortunate, but that's something that he's going to have to deal with. I've known HulkHogan for 25 years. Here he is hanging with Kylin in NJ. There isn't a racist bone in that mans body.

The most beloved wrestler of his time turned into a bad guy, and people loved the hell out of it. As anybody who knows anything about wrestling can tell you, Hogan has never been that creative or talented. Hogan and Vince McMahon hit on something, they came up with a schtick that worked, and it worked incredibly well.

It was McMahon who saw something in the very large man with blonde hair and a matching handlebar mustache that his father, Vincent J. He could show up to big events and stand out in a room full of celebrities, and he could also be a cartoon. Wrestling may seem silly to a lot of people, but to those that cared, Hulk Hogan represented what was supposed to be great about America. You could say it started a few years earlier, in , when he took the stand in the Federal trial against the man who helped create his myth, Vince McMahon, and confirmed what so many of us had already guessed.

McMahon had been charged with illegally providing steroids to wrestlers. Hogan would still play the character of the ultimate good guy. The wrestler you could always count on to run down from the dressing room to help out a friend who was getting beat up by two wrestlers.

He was the same guy so many first graders probably chose as their hero — rather than their dads. Except that, after the trial, he was asking fans to continue cheering for his lies. That was 20 years ago this month. His contract would be terminated in , and Hogan would continue to work for other promotions. It would get worse from there: a very public affair that would lead to the end of his marriage; money trouble; more terrible movies added to his already shitty filmography; the WWE severing ties with what we can only hope is the final time him in for a taped racist tirade ; and, of course, the sex tape.
