Hogan turns down visit to the troops

-- Vince McMahon contacted Hulk Hogan within the last two months about appearing on WWE's upcoming Tribute to the Troops show in Iraq. Hogan turned down the offer for various reasons. Vince has pitched the idea to Hogan several times over the years and Hogan turns him down every time. One of the main reasons Hogan declined the offer is that his divorce has been described as a "full-time job" for him. (Source: Prowrestling. net)

Nah, a divorce ain't a full-time job. I would know from my own parents. But it's tough, that's for sure.

Although if Hogan has declined many times, it just shows he's too lazy to do it unless he's getting a massive pay packet.

I dont think its him being lazy, Hogan is a busy man, especially right now.

But he hasn't done it for like years... he had time to do SummerSlam and 'Mania.

Why would he do summerslam and mania? I'm thinkin he only would accept on Tribute to the Troops.

^ He did SummerSlam and 'Mania in 05 and 06 I believe. And according to that report, Vince has been asking him to do the Iraq show for years...

Maybe Hogan is against the war. Not to say he's against the troops, but if he made the trip it would certainly make him look like he's in support of what's going on.

Its also possible that Hogan is just not feeling the WWE right now. Vince and Hogan have been having some disputes as of late over this Celebrity Wrestling. Vince think that it damages wrestling credibility and Hogan said the Vinces Son in Law (HHH) reigning as champion is damaging wrestling credibility. Maybe Hogan is refusing because its the WWE thats hosting it.

Probably because of the Vince vs. Hogan conflict thing

I disagree Baba, I think Hogan is just a prick and doesnt give a shit about anyone else but himself. If Austin goes (Who doesnt support the war) then i think Hogan could.

I agree I think Hogan only cares about what will benefit him. If he new he could get some kind benefit out of it he would go

Hogan will only go if there is a big fat envolope full of cash in it for him.

I dont like Hogan

I'm not going to go as far as to say that I don't like Hogan I became a fan of his after a long dislike and hoping to see him lose during his reign. Much like Cena haters are now thats why I'm not mad at them. But I just think that some people see the whole world as business and he's one of those people. He did a lot for wrestling and I respect it. Just think that to turn down the visit to the troops who a lot of them don't support the war themselves, is wrong of him. First off its an opportunity. I mean I know he did it a lot of times already but.... Anyway I just think his beef with Vince should be put aside for worthy causes and this is a worthy cause. Don't get me wrong. Vince stands a chance of gaining from Hogans brief venture with him also and he probably on ask to get that gain and to defame Hogan. But in situations like this if your in Hogan's shoes you go despite all thats going on. I'm Muslim and I'm against the war but I would of went. This people are fighting for us....And I'm one of us.

HMMMM Maybe Hogan just doesnt want to go? Vince can't force him to go

Or trying to post a load of times so people don't think you're here just to advertise your site.

Nice JOb MF, You took the words out of my head ... Again

Getting back on topic. Personally, I don't really mind Hogan not going since I don't want to see him but, I don't see why he would turn down getting a chance to say thanks to people who put thier lifes on the line for him.

WOW! Sorry for actually having free time and visiting a site and posting. U guys do not know me to make these accusations

Actually i kind of do Blueberry. ive seen what you do. you spam then leave

The accusations are made from the fact that one of the first post you made was asking were the promot your site thread was. Since most of your posts have been quick one or two lines stating the obvious or tiny thoughts, it's pretty understanderable how they could come to that accusation. Anyway, I don't see what this has to do with Hogan and Troops so back on topic...
