thread_title: New picture needed?

message: I saw the Beavis and Butt-Head episode that had Hogan's "Real American" music on there. I don't quite remembering it being critiqued by Beavis and Butt-Head. They sounded more like they liked the music and I don't really remember any criticism of it (except for when it was going, when Butt-Head said "homework sucks", but I'm not quite sure if he was referring to music or not).
:A critique isn't always negative. For instance, if I said "Your post is cool." That is a critique of your quote.Mwutz 04:20, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: "Real American" on Beavis and Butt-Head

message: Apparently - or so I read on Usenet, so who knows how reliable that is - Bollea once said, in a published interview, that he had been a big comics fan as a kid, and had therefore taken his stage name from two comic-book characters: a) the Hulk, and b) the obscure wrestler Crusher Hogan, who played a key role in the origin of Spider-Man. This is offered as an explanation for the name "Hulk Hogan" being listed as the intellectual property of Marvel Comics. Clearly, this doesn't mesh with the idea that Vince McMahon suggested "Hogan" out of a desire to portray the character as being Irish, but just as clearly, that could have been just another invention –  wouldn't want to portray him as a comics geek, right? So, anyone know for sure? DS 13:50, 12 Apr 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I actually explicitly remember Hogan saying in a televised interview for a documentary that the Hogan name was suggested because someone wanted his character to be Irish, to which Hogan quipped "a blonde Irish man". As to the origin of the Hulk nickname, I'm not entirely sure. I think I'll take the television interview with the man himself over a Usenet posting though. ;_ --Jtalledo (talk) 18:32, 12 Apr 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: Name origin?

message: I could have sworn I read somewhere that Terry, not the more formal Terrence, was Hogan's birth name given to him by his parents and that Terry was in fact the name on his birth certificate. Would anyone be able to verify this?
He was indeed born Terrance Gene Bollea. -- PHender864

thread_title:  Birth name 

message: There's a school of thought that states the Bash At The Beach '00 where Russo came out to shoot on Hogan was mostly or completely a work. Russo has even admitted it recently, in a publication for his new religious promotion, Ring of Glory. (http://www.ringofglory.com/bash.htm) The only thing that appears to be 100% genuine is the lawsuit. 
... However, being that none of the information surrounding this incident appears to be cut and dry, I'm not prepared to edit the article until I have some more input. Thoughts? --Pathogen 16:52, 7 August 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  Bash At The Beach '00 

message: Other pro-wrestler pages, eg Batista , The Undertaker and
The Rock (wrestler) redirect from the wrestler's stage name
to an article titled with their birth names.  However, in some other
articles like Mark Twain and Robert Jordan (and this one,
Hulk Hogan) the pseudonym is the main page.
What are the criteria for deciding which name ought to be the
main one?
*i think the names they are most recognised with should be used,as Hulk Hogan is by far the name most people know him as,have you ever searched for Robert Szatkowski(Rob Van Dam),Michael Francis Foley(Mick Foley) or Terrence Gene Bollea for that matter? probably not.--Lord Revan--
Hulk changed his last name from Bolea to Hogan, so he either goes by Terry Hogan or Hulk Hogan, but he prefers Hulk Hogan. Crazycarolina 18:29, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

*Hoagn hasn't faced Stone Cold Steve Austin, ever in his entire career, that's why there was Austin Hogan chants at the 2006 Hall of Fame ceremony because the fans want to see those to go against each other.
*Comment 1) A wrestler who has had a career the length of Hogan's is bound to have wrestled a number of people over the years, so a list of who he has faced is pointless. 2) Hogan hasn't faced Stone Cold Steve Austin in a singles match, but the two have wrestled against eachother in a handicap tag match on an episode of Raw a few weeks before WrestleMania X8.PepsiPlunge 05:55, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

message: Ok, so he is a person who is famous yeah, but why? Why him? Why not someone else? Also, what is so amazing about a manly soap opera? (I am refering to wretling shows), it isn't so great, so people fake to hate each other, if someone wants that then so see a movie or something. But seriously I need some convincing here, what is so great about it and why? Sure people like their shows, but they have a reason, and yet I lack to hear reason on this topic. By the way because its cool or fun isn't a good enough answer. An example of a good answer would be because I was brought up one it or because I like the plot usage, or I like the story line, or I like the characterization...etc. anyhow I just want to know. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 167.135.18.236 (talk) 18:32, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: What purpose would it serve for someone to give you their reasons? Saying that the plot usage isn't enough, nor the storyline, nor the characterizations that the wrestlers use. There's not much else left. It simply sounds as if you've got your mind set to dislike wrestling regardless of anyone's reasons. Nothing wrong with that though, whatever flops your mop.Odin's Beard 01:03, 21 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Agreed though I do think it is worth looking for article/books that explain why Hogan became such a phenomenon in the 1980s. UT4LIFE 03:07, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

text: I think the initial post raises a good issue.  There are two ways of looking at Hogan's career; one is in the context of the world of professional wrestling, where the story is written by writers.  The other is the life of the person.  In the entry for Matthew Perry we don't discuss the biography of Chandler Bing, a character he portrayed (except in the metanarrative sense).  When the article talks about successes (like winning wrestling matches) aren't we really saying "some writer thought the crowd would like it if the guy with the bandana won"?  As it is, this article mixes the two.  We should break this article in two, one with the biography of the man, and one with the biography of the character.  Lauciusa 18:08, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Question! 

message: Why did someone remove the reference to Hogan signing a new 20-year contract?? On the 2/18/07 episode of Hogan Knows Best, Hogan is shown with Vince McMahaon, in McMahon's office at WWE headquarters, signing a 20-year contract which will expire when Hogan is 73.
:If you want to get technical about it, the episode didn't show Hogan signing anything. Hogan did give the impression that he either had signed or had intended to sign the contract. If I'm not mistaken, that episode was taped sometime last summer. A lot of things have changed. According to Hogan, who appeared on the Bubba the Love Sponge show today, he never signed the 20 year deal. Odin's Beard 00:20, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: If you want to get incredibly technical, the contract wasn't even anything close to a talent contract. It was a licensing deal that gave permission for WWE to create Hogan action figures, use his likeness and name on DVD's, etc. which makes it hardly notable to begin with.

message: I was thinking that Hulk Hogan needs a new section to cover all the tv and films he has done. He has done a fair number of films and that could certainly warrant a section on it's own. Just wanted some other people's thoughts before I proceeded. Govvy 14:18, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  TV and Film Section 

message: Hi. I have watched the match and the promo of Hulk Hogan vs. Paul "The Great" Wight in Memphis Wrestling. In the promo, Hulk Hogan mentioned that he was going to repeat history by lifting up Paul Wight over the head and slammed him for the victory after the leg drop. Paul Wight said in the promo that he was not going to let Hulk Hogan let history repeat itself by letting Hulk Hogan slamming Paul Wight. Hulk Hogan also mentioned that he was going to show his son and his daughter what he did to Andre The Giant at Wrestlemania III by doing the same to Paul Wight. The Wrestlemania III was mostly talked about while both Hulk Hogan and Paul Wight were doing the promo. All of the ring announcers have mentioned that the match that both Hulk Hogan and the Big Show had was the match that the WWE could not deliver. So as the result of that, even though the match should have happened at Wrestlemania 23, it happened at the Memphis wrestling's PMG Clash Of The Legends instead. Both the PMG Clash Of The Legends and Wrestlemania 23 pay-per-view happened in the same month of April. I think it is notable to add more points that Hulk Hogan made history again by slamming Paul "The Giant" Wight and beat him like how he beat Andre The Giant. Thank You.

thread_title:  Terry 'Hulk' Hogan performing with Earth Wind & Fire 

message: Hi. I have put in some notable information about Hulk Hogan. I mentioned the following;
Hulk Hogan was supposed to have his fifth run and wrestle The Big show at Wrestlemania 23 but that match could not happened because of Big Show's retirement. The Big Show was then replaced by The Great Khali to be Hulk Hogan's opponent but due to paying disputes between Hulk Hogan and Vince McMahon, that match did not happen. As the result of that, Hulk Hogan's was replaced by Kane who did bodyslammed to The Great Khali which was what Hulk Hogan did to the late Andre The Giant twenty years earlier at Wrestlemania III.
During the Memphis Wrestling section, I mentioned:
The match between The Big Show and Hulk Hogan was the match that should have happened at Wrestlemana 23 and what the WWE could not deliver. These important message had been removed. Message me back. Thank you. Iron Scorp 16:48, 2 May 2007 (UTC)
