Hulk Hogan announces his retirement.

[Romo 2 Austin]

the planned Sting v. Hogan match cancelled at BFG.


He'll probably return, but his and Bischoffs contract is up in a few months, so who knows.

He probably cannot get medically cleared because of his back...he will have to stick with wrestling somehow though. What else can he do? One of the worse wrestlers ever but he has a ton of charisma and fans love him. I don't but that is just me.

[Risen Star]

The greatest of all time. He basically gave careers to everyone who followed him.

That guy was still wrestling?

I used to watch him back in the 80s.

He has to be ancient by now. Kudos to him for keeping it going for so long.

That he did.

You still can't see the work, can you kid? Even though the sidebar with Sting made it real obvious?

it really is sad .......

I liked the Hogan persona in his first tour of the WWF... Major heel, feuding with Andre The Giant and leaving the company for the AWA before he got a big-time push for Backlund's title.

He shows up on the Phil Donahue show as a face and it was downhill from there for me.

Dumb me...I forgot Terry has his midget wrestling to fall back on...:-)

Yeah right. Anyone that has followed wrestling knows this ****** refused to put anyone over in the late 80's and early 90's. Not to mention he had 3 moves. And one of them was a back scratcher.

Is Sting really painting his face like the Joker?

Wow.

Stealing from one movie is one thing, and he make it work, but stealing from another movie some 10 years later is downright embarrassing.

Oh dude, this isn't even the half of it. They had him cackling as he was beaten up in the locker room like Ledger in the cell.

How is stealing from one movie any better than stealing from another movie?

Glad I didn't see it.

He's been one of my favorite wrestlers since forever.

I just watched a clip from earlier this week and it's saddening that the people in charge would even try to pull that off.

I remember seeing a video a while back where Sting said he didn't go to the WWE because (paraphrasing) he had worked too hard to get to the top and he would have to start from the bottom in WWE.

What a career mistake that was. I'm sure he's making good money but is it really worth it to be what amounts to a B List actor on the Lifetime channel?

He had molded the perfect character in WCW and he's basically just pissing on it right now.

Unreal.

They're equally cheesy.

But he made it work the first time because there was actually some sort of story behind it and the transition took place over a decent amount of time.

There are no circumstances that I can see a story working in this situation.

He struck gold by adopting the Crow theme, this one just stinks all around.
