[Good Ol J.R]

Hogan never appealed to me either and I was born in '83

Never was a Hulkamaniac. Found his "say your prayers, eat your vitamins" shtick to be extremely corny.

Dug his Hollywood Hogan persona and his NWO run though. Still remember how I was when he was revealed as the third member It really shook up the wrestling world at the time.

I appreciate what he's done for wrestling, but I can't say that I was ever a Hogan fan.

This.

After reading the part of the instant "baby face" for whoever saves Bryan, and looking through the roster, it SHOULD only be a few guys. The roll would've been perfect for Mark Henry if he wasn't buddying with the Usos and such. But it could still be him I guess. I can see them giving the part to a group of people specifically the Prime Time Players and/or the Usos to cut through The Shield. I kinda see Big Show going back to being a heel since they're teasing his involvement. In the end, it will probably just be Cena though...

 

[Peep Game]

Ditto toine

Fair enough. Born in '83 also (We in our 30s brah ) but Hogan was definitely appreciated. Greatest superstar ever.


Him & Warrior could make the crowd do whatever he wanted.

When Hogan turned heel


BTW, is Warrior theonly wrestler to ever remain babyface throughout his career?

So are you saying you, looking back on his WWF days, found his shtick to be corny?..Or are you saying you found it corny during his heyday?..

Steamboat and Bruno were never heels

*Fixed
Oh wow..........never saw this

Hold up, is this about the woman he eventually married in real life and etc..

 

[airthompson]

Steamboat and Bruno were never heels

Steamboat was in TNA around 03-04 idk if that counts

- Paul Heyman got “major props” backstage for what was described as one of the best in-ring action promo angles ever on this week’s Monday Night RAW from Phoenix where he beat CM Punk with a kendo stick. When he got to the back, Triple H put him over and called his work “magic.”

- The plan as of this week is for a new Paul Heyman guy to “save him” at Night of Champions next month. We’re told this is the current course of storyline progression.

 

[Peep Game]

New Paul Heyman guy?? Big Vis

 

[D Fly]

New Paul Heyman guy??Samuray Del Sol

Fixed

-Word is out about WWE signing the speedy, agile star from EVOLVE, Dragon Gate USA and Mexico's AAA to a developmental deal. SuperLuchas.net (via WrestlingInc.com) reported that Del Sol to WWE was a done deal.

 

[freakydestroyer]

Please dont be Bo Dallas.

I wish the new Heyman guy was RVD but he's super over as a face. This would be a good time to do something to save Drew McIntyre's career.

 

[rko2004]

It would seem as if I've been beaten to the punch

Was Ricky The Dragon Steamboat ever a heel?

 

[D Fly]

Please dont be Bo Dallas.

The thought of that has me so Boked right now.

 

[thedeek]

I see a lot of botential in the new heyman guy.

 

[deleted]

Supbosedly it's a third generation wrestler.

 

[freakydestroyer]

Come to think of it, a while ago the rumor was Corey Graves.

wasn't there a report not too long ago about Big E ultimately becoming a face and another about Vince wanting to push a African American?

I don't bolieve that rumor at all.

 

[Bend_The_Knee]

New Paul Heyman guy?? Big Vis

My 3 guesses would be:

1. Corey Graves
2. Kassius Ohno
3. Leo Kruger

If there's a chance for him to turn face it would be now. He finds AJ overbearing and leaves her. Then he steps to Ryback for his bullying.

If the company didn't ruin Generico's gimmick, it would've have been a nice pairing once Ricardo Rod broke off with Del Rio to pair the two together but instead creative when with RVD
