In his prime Hogan refused to do programs with : Jake Roberts, Rick Rude, Mr. Perfect, among others. He might have had a match here and there with them, but he would not allow a fued with these guys cause they were fresher, far more talented in the ring and on the mic, and he felt threatened by them. Instead we got fueds with Bossman(who was also better) and Earthquake. There's a reason why people like Flair, Hart, and Austin are beloved by their peers and Hogan is hated by everyone except Knobbs, Tugboat, and Big Show. LOL
As far as Undertaker, I stand by everything I said. A good big man no doubt, but his schtick got tired ten years ago and he takes up a spot someone like RVD could have taken sooner. Why don't you admit you're a mark for Hogan cuz he was your hero when you were a little boy and now your in denial about what a piece of garbage he is.

Are you friggin serious? I just said he was selfish and childish. The guys is about as irresponsible of a parent as you'll ever find, and is absolutely the king of politicing. That still doesn't mean he should be jobbing to people, especially the people he fueded with. Hulk Hogan is one of the very few people who has achieved a level beyond main eventer. He was a true superstar. Those guys are few and far between and their jobs should be treated the same way. Only other Superstars, or high level main eventers should ever beat them. As good as the guys like Jake, Rude, Perfect, Savage, Steamboat, and all the rest of that era were, they weren't on Hogan's level. They were upper midcard guys (with the exception of Savage who was a main eventer). They had no business beating Hogan, and despite what the smark view of today tells you, the fans of that era would not have accepted them beating Hogan. Hogan was the hero. He wasn't supposed to lose. No one wanted him to lose. Did Stone Cold job to more than 3 people when he was a face in his prime? No, because nobody wanted to see that. Did Goldberg lose in prime more than once? No, and he shouldn't have because that's what the fans wanted. As for them being more talented on the mic, you're delusional. There's a reason Hogan can still get a standing ovation after 20 years of the training, vitamins, and prayers promo, and it isn't from being a ring technician. As for Taker's schtick being tired for the last decade, I won't disagree. The thing is though, despite the fact that I don't care for the gimmick anymore, I can acknowledge the fact that the vast majority of the fans out there do. Taker's pop on Smackdown isn't added in post production. He's about as over as he can get, and has better matches than any other big man in WWE. But I guess Taker should retire just because you think RVD should have gotten a main event spot sooner. He should walk away from his success and paycheck just because a minority of fans think someone else would be better in his spot right? Do honestly think that's realistic, because that's what you're suggesting? Taker and Hogan didn't ruin finishers. The people who started using them as transition moves did. Rock would be one of the main offenders on this one, as would highspot indie guys.
