My question is about Hulk Hogan. I was watching the 2005 Hall of Fame about a week ago and of course there were numerous wrestlers saying he was the greatest ever. I was wondering though, aside from his godlike status in the 80s, was he ever actually a good WRESTLER?
Depends on what your definition of "good" is. When it comes to technical skill, Hogan has never been on the level of a Ric Flair. However, he has never needed to be. Hogan has always been good enough to "get the job done" and get the crowd to react (and buy tickets) which is all that really matters at the end of the day.
I seem to remember that Christian won the then Light Heavyweight Title from Taka Michinoku in his debut match. Was that his first appearance or had he been seen on television before then?
It was actually only Christian's second WWF match ever, and his first televised match. Christian wrestled in a try-out match against Edge at Copps Coliseum in Hamilton, Ontario. He then went to a training camp, wrestling on those shows (which weren't WWF events), and then in September began appearing as part of the Brood, with his first match being the Judgment Day PPV on October 18, 1998 where be beat TAKA Michinoku for the belt.
My question is in your opinion which wrestler has had the best mullet?
I would have to say Mike Awesome's slightly edges out Eddie Guerrero's as being the best. Kevin Nash also had a nice one during his Diesel days.
Are the WWE wrestlers permitted to run their own websites while their under contract?
Wrestlers are permitted to have their own websites, however, it is in the best interest of the wrestler to make sure their website doesn't tick off anyone in WWE management.
I never understood why Sabu wasn't pushed when ECW debuted on TNN. Given the departures of the Dudleys and Taz, Sabu was by far their biggest name at the time on a national level. However, he was "banned" because of Justin Credible, then jobbed to him at a PPV. Why? I know they wanted to build new stars, but they hardly even put Sabu on TV, then he eventually walked-out.
I never liked that decision either, but in a way, I understood it. The idea was to push Mike Awesome, Rob Van Dam and others on TV, while using the "Sabu is banned" storyline as a way to create an air of mystery around Sabu, playing off the idea that new ECW viewers would be curious about him (and thus order PPV events or go to shows to see him). However, Sabu then had his falling out with Heyman and his failed attempt to go to WCW, which led to the end of his ECW run.
