    Hogan wrestled on some occasions on weekends tv

    Rarely. It was a big event when Hogan was on TV. They built him up to be a featured attraction. Other than PPVs and Saturday Night's Main Event, Hogan didn't do the rounds on "Superstars" and "Wrestling Challenge" unless it was an interview segment.

    I'm just glad the Miz is back. He's the face of the wwe, and the future.

    The WWE champ appearing once a month at a PPV for the next 6-7 months is not best for business.

    Hogan used to do this all the time though. He was never on weekend TV...only the PPV's. I think they can pull this off...especially with Paul as Brock's mouthpiece. Lesner destroyed Cena...it was great to watch.

    Things were way different back then when Hogan did it. They didn't have a live 3 hour weekly show and another 2 hour show to fill. And with social media and everything else these days, just don't think it will be good to have the WWE champ rarely appearing.

    The Miz is a classic example of someone getting a push based on previous media exposure. There is no way he would be on the roster, let alone a former champion, is he wasn't on MTV years ago. Miz has X-Pac heat...I think he is generally disliked because of how bad he is as a wrestler.

    I like when JBL and Lawler called him out last week on Raw. Miz said Jim Brown never did won any championships for Cleveland...humiliation.

    Lesnar should only lose to the "Next Big Thing". I'd say Daniel Bryan makes an epic comeback from injury or they make Roman Reigns a star.

    Side note: has anyone failed to win the championship after cashing in the Money in the Bank? I'd like to see Rollins try to get one over on Brock and still get destroyed.

    I bet it will be Reigns at WM31. It's obvious they're building him up to the next big star. Although he could use a few more moves than the 3-4 that he currently has.

    No matter who wins Lesnar-Cena again, I see Rollins cashing in and becoming champ.

    What about: Brock eventually gets destroyed by returning Taker, Rollins cashes in and wins belt, Reigns wins Royal Rumble. Sets up Brock/Taker rematch and Rollins/Reigns title match?

    Isn't Taker still all fucked up from his wrestlemania match? I thought it wasn't even a sure thing that he will actually wrestle again?

    Pretty much I just don't think it makes sense to keep the belt on Lesnar with his part-time status. He doesn't seem to be interested in working any more than the few dates per year that he currently does. It will be interesting to see what they do.

    I don't get the appeal of Roman Reigns. I could be way off base here...I just don't see him as the next big thing.

    I also don't understand why they keep dropping the ball with Cesaro. He had a ton of momentum going into Mania...and coming out. Now, he's all jumbled up.

    And Hogan did show up a lot on Nitro.

    yep he did. Overall the PPV was pretty good, missed the opening match between the Uso's and Gold and Star Dust. The only match that kinda sucked was the Mark Henry/Rusev one.
