Alright, we are going to get in deep today, which sounds very weird, but here is the deal. If you're a certain type of fan and you're perfectly entitled to your opinion, and you say the following things, well, I believe we need to sit down and have a discussion. Becky Hogan, Ria Hogan, Mercedes Hogan, Sammy Hogan. One, what the fuck does that mean? And two, these people that I've just said out of my mouth are nothing like Hulk Hogan. And why? Here's why.

So let's start with Mercedes-Meney. And two, these people that I've just said out of my mouth are nothing like Hulk Coker.

And why? Here's why.

So let's start with Mercedes-Meney because this has got so out of hand during an AEW press

conference the other day, somebody actually felt obliged to ask Tony Kahn about this.

And my first question is, who even cares?

Let's say that Mercedes-Mene and AEW did have something like this in the contract. Alright, okay, that is up for both Mercedes and all the lead wrestling to decide when they are trying to negotiate a deal. I mean, judge the TV as much as you want, but don't judge it on things you've made up in your head, judge it on what you're actually seeing with your seeing devices. With nothing else, we're just basically on insane rumour somebody threw out there on the internet, but also, I can say with 99.9% certainty, no, Mercedes-Mane does not have creative control, and in fact, if I were to hazard, I guess, nobody. Not one wrestler who is wrestling right now has it in their deal. Now, of course, I'm sure there are suggestions, but it would not work if it was in ink. And once again, do you know why? Because Hulk Hogan did have this. And what was the end result? Absolute chaos. Like Dr. Robotnik had flown in. I mean, do you really think Monet has turned up an AEW dynamite and gone, that doesn't work for me, brother. It absolutely

would have leaked by now because somebody backstage would have heard about this who had actual

some authority and was pissed off. I would have gone, man, I am going to put that out there in the

dirt sheets because I'm sorry, that has quite literally happened since the dawn of time.

Not the dawn of the internet time.

As soon as the internet was important in the world of sports entertainment, people were leaking.

I mean at the moment, it is basically off the back of Death to ATW 7 ZB 6249.

Oh yeah, what a trustworthy source. Why don't I go give them all my finance and savings?

Okay, we've got a little bit

off track, but let's go back to Hulk Hogan. Yes, he did have it in his contract. You can see it online, that if he were to join World Championship Wrestling, he was going to have creative control. And it's actually important to mention WCW, because when it came to WWE, he did not have this. That's why he left the promotion all the time

and why he always fell out with Vince McMahon

because Hulk would be like... because when it came to WWE, he did not have this. That's why he left the promotion all the time,

and why he always fell out with Vince McMahon,

because Hulk would be like, I want to do this, and Vince would be like, well, you're not going to do that, we're going to do this, and sometimes Hogan would get his way, and sometimes he wouldn't, and then there'd be friction, and they'd exit stage left. I mean, have you ever heard about Tony Kahn and Mercedes-Manay having this kind of a scrap?

No, you have not.

So let's just go through some of these incidences, which most definitely happened. One, Hulk Hogan stops Sting for winning the WCW title at Starcade 97 after a one-year storyline and build, because he didn't think Sting looked tanned enough. You're going to have to research this to get more information, but I promise you it's ridiculous, especially from my fans' point of view. And Mr. Hogan even went to referee Nick Patrick and went, ha ha, don't do a fast count, brother. Even though there was meant to be a fast count, which is why Brett Hart came to the ring to say, well, we've got to restart the match. And this is why everyone was so confused, why it was two plus two weeks potato? We were like, why does the hitman care? It was a perfectly normal one, two, three, but it
