Thread 18352047

If Hogan was getting booed in recent years every time he appeared or whenever his name was mentioned in front of a WWE crowd....then how the fuck is a live tribute even possible?
If the crowds wanted to boo him when they saw him or heard his name before he died, then why the fuck would they give a favorable reaction to him after his death during a tribute?
How is WWE going to pull this off? Piped-in cheers and muting the boos?

>>18352047 (OP)
People aren't going to disrespect a tribute

>>18352047 (OP)
Everyone who isn't a raging liberal has already changed their tune on Hogan. It's really fucked how people suddenly love or hate you when your dead

>>18352047 (OP)
They will have ICE agents on standby in the crowd, ready to arrest and deport any hulkster disrespecting non-whites

>>18352058
Lmfao

>>18352069
Yeah I know on the internet, "Fuck chud hogan" is funny, but people in real life tend to have basic human decency

>>18352058
>People aren't going to disrespect a tribute
I really don't think you realize how far lefties are willing to go to show everyone they're anti-racist

>>18352047 (OP)
They'll do some vignettes with the talent talking about him first to gas up the audience, that way if anyone boos they'll be looked at as the huge asshole they likely are irl

Shit, I didn't even think about this
Well damn, they might have to do what they did with Benoit for that Raw episode and do an empty-arena tribute show, kek

>>18352058
Have you ever been on this website before

>>18352058
Get ready.

>>18352071
LMAOOOOOOOOOOO

In all seriousness, I think what's most likely gonna happen is the majority (80%-90%) of the crowd will cheer throughout the tribute
Some will be genuine cheers from Hogan fans, some will be respectful cheers from fans who personally didn't care for the man behind the Hogan character, but respect his legacy and what he did for the business
The other 10%-20% will be boos from his more extreme haters, and they may or may not get tired of booing at some point once they realize they're in the minority

>>18352058
Leftists will, gloating about the death of people better than them is one of the few things they actually enjoy

>>18352101
besides Los angeles

>>18352071
those people don't watch wrestling. wrestling is only watched by autists, troons, jeets, and theater kids. and literal children.

>If Hogan was getting booed in recent years every time he appeared
He got boo'd at the Netflix Raw debut because it was fucking LA. Cleveland will take the tribute episode

>>18352192
I hope the camera shows the most vocal boo-ers so people can screenshot them and spread their lolcow pictures because we all know how they will look.

In another world, Vince comes out tomorrow night and honors Hogan. I hate that they ruined their legacy being idiots

As long as it's not in LA it should all be good

BROTHHERRRRRR!!!

>>18352388
Hogan wasn't even being an idiot. He was loaded on drugs and being recorded without his knowledge or consent in his friends home. He got fucked over hard. Vince absolutely fucked himself by trying to jew his fucktoy

>>18352415
>being recorded without his knowledge or consent in his friends home

...while cheating on his wife with a married woman

>>18352418
That's irrelevant to him getting double crossed by his cuck friend. And having seen Linda, I don't blame him for a second.

>>18352047 (OP)
Haitch will deploy riot police into rafters.
Marks dont get to fuck with the wrestlers pal.

>>18352058
It'd be funny if it happens though

>>18352540
No it wouldnt

>>18352047 (OP)
Call me naive, fuck, maybe I really am
But I truly think that for one night - a tribute night at that - even most libs in the WWE crowd who dislike Hogan won't boo
At worst they might refuse to cheer or take a long piss break during the main tribute part, but they won't boo (besides maybe a few dozen extra-edgy ones who'll be drowned out)

>>18352047 (OP)
>CODY RHODES (a jew) IS PLAYING GUILE IN THE UPCOMING LIVE ACTION STREET FIGHTER FILM
AND ROMAN REIGNS IS AKUMA
>LOL WHAT THE ABSOLUTE FUCK IS THIS jEWISHERY?

>>18352047 (OP)
The people who would boo are weak and cowardly types, they won't dare disrespect HH while outnumbered 10 - 1 by Hulkamaniac chads

>>18352047 (OP)
It's only smarks who boo him. Any regular episode he got cheered

>>18354096
Naive. Californians are the scum of this earth.

not gonna lie lads, I'm worried about audible boos....

KINO

I'm not hateful you eastern world descended creature

>>18352058
>People aren't going to disrespect a tribute
hahahahhahahaha
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

All it takes is some social pressure and most people fold. If the crowd is firmly on one side the others will quiet down. I think most people will show respect, whether they actually mean it or not.

>>18354854
Seeing all the tough keyboard warriors cry like girls because just for once it was their idol getting hit has been hilarious desu

>>18354854
Leftists are the most hateful

>>18352063
Based. If you hurt my friends then you hurt my pride.

ICE being men and not letting it slide confirmed.

One thing's for sure, and I don't think anyone will disagree with this:
If Hogan's tribute gets loud consistent boos....then that moment is an easy KWABOTY contender. Might even win at the end of the year. And I say that as Hogan fan

>>18355813
Honestly, I think THAT would be a decade contender. Going from a historic icon to being booed at your fucking tribute? Would be goddamn legendary.

What would be a beyond balsy move would be for some on air talent to REPRESENT the haters and go giga heel..

>>18352192
Will enough of those show up to the stadium?

So the real question is, even if it gets booed, so what?
What the fuck will WWE say? "Sorry, show's cancelled"? Lol. They're more eager for money now than ever. Worst that'd happen is they'd just never book another show there or whatever. Otherwise they ain't gonna do shit, neither are the wrestlers. Not Cody, Cena, Roman, or WHO-the-fuck-ever. They'll all still perform and do their job anyway. Not that they'll be "performing" since all they do now is just give increasingly mediocre and boring promos and then like a 2 minute action segment or some shit when it ends.

who would they even cheer for now if they're booing Hogan?
do they even like wrestling?
why the fuck are there?

>>18355992
>who would they eben cheer for now if they're booing Hogan?
Good wrestlers.

>>18352047 (OP)
This would be so fucking funny if it actually happened.

>>18355813
>Might even win at the end of the year.
"Might"?
It would easily win
A top wrestling personality would have to either die/be crippled in some preventable way or be exposed for a major crime, in order to beat out a Hogan live tribute being booed
Cena would have to be caught with cp or something

>>18352047 (OP)
Simple. Just don't do it in fucking LA. I think Haitch wanted him to be booed bringing him out there.

>>18355614
Not even close to being true

>>18352047 (OP)
This does not matter they will still do a tribute show to him because they kind of have no choice but to. This would be the equivalent of not paying tribute to the main character in just about any vidya game, pretending like Ozzy wasn't the draw of Black Sabbath, disregarding the importance of Mickey Mouse from Disney and so on. To not do a tribute show to him would be absolutely insane. Its not like he killed anyone like Benoit did. Plus Hogan meant more to WWE then just about anyone else but Vince and his family themselves.

>>18357271
>like ozzy wasn't the draw of sabbath
They got bigger when his stupid ass got kicked out LMAO

>>18352047 (OP)
White people immediately flip when someone dies. So the crowd will cheer Hogan forever now

The Crowd should spam the WHAT chant

>>18357363
I agree.

Welp......

I'm not watching SD anons, at work now. Were there any noticeeable boos?

>>18352058
No, you will see why when Vince dies next Janaury

>>18361090
No, but there's a lack of any Hogan tributes beyond the opening salute. Half the roster looked like they didn't wanna be there though.

>>18352058
This. Believe it or not, no one looks good mocking someone who recently died

>>18361234
Unless they were horrible.

>>18361224
People need to remember two things about this tribute show:
1. Hogan wasn't on the active roster when he died, so it's not gonna be like the Owen and Eddie tribute shows where the entire night is centered around them, complete with tons of recorded individual backstage tributes and in-ring promos dedicated to the deceased
And 2.....Hogan, as huge as he was in his time, as influential as he and his legacy was to the business.....his time was still before the time of a lot of the wrestlers on the current roster
Hogan was a big deal as an active-roster wrestler back in the 80s and 90s; some of these guys weren't even born yet
Even when he wrestled sporadically in the early 2000s, he was officially "that old legend" status by then and the kids around that era connected more to younger guys like Austin, Rock, Cena, etc. So they're not gonna feel all that personally connected to him even though they're aware of his importance in the history of the business
Some of them probably dislike him for his recent chud ways, but even besides that the main issue is he simply was too far before their time for them to feel as passionate about him as the older guys do
So yeah, they're gonna stand out there and go through the motions for the most part

>>18361410
Anyone who's sensible knows he can't be fully celebrated because of how fucked he made his own legacy. The best that could happen was doing the tribute simply out of courtesy of his accomplishments, which is what happened. But if he actually killed someone or went nuts like Benoit did, you bet your ass no one would want that tribute.
Even as much as they'd like to offer up those words of praise, everyone in the business knew how murky Hogan was. It's not a matter of being before their time. How many current wrestlers still mark out for Bret, Roddy, Warrior, Austin, Randy and so on? It's always about how the current image is received.

I didn't get to watch but did they seriously stop the Hogan tributes at the 10-bell salute?
No Hogan mentions during anyone's promos, no one doing any of his moves/routines in a match, or wearing red & yellow? Nothing else?

>>18361832
Yep. No one really cared. Not even Cena could be bothered to show his dumbass up.
