Paid Members Statto Posted November 27, 2016 Paid Members Posted November 27, 2016 Not suggesting Tenta wasn't "over the hill" in 98, and I know age is far from the only variable in that equation, but that comment & the received wisdom that Quake always looked old beyond his years made me go look it up. He turned 35 that year. Dolph Ziggler is 36.
Undefeated Steak Posted November 27, 2016 Posted November 27, 2016 Speaking of ages, when Hogan came over in 2002 I thought he was ancient. Goldberg's the same age as Hogan was then, and Triple H is only a year or two younger. I know I'm older now but still, I don't think of Goldberg or Hunter as being *that* old.
The Clint Posted November 27, 2016 Posted November 27, 2016 Yeah 1998 was full of shitty ideas that thankfully never came to fruition. Like Mero being booked into the main event picture with Austin. It was only after they had Sable power bomb Mero then apparently Austin told them to fuck off with the idea. Mero was no threat to anyone after that.
Guest Posted November 27, 2016 Posted November 27, 2016 Wwf had programmed everyone for years that hogan was old and past it, so back then it was much easier to see him that way.

He looked like 60 year old and moved like a 70 year old. There was no misconception. Hulk was never an athlete, it wasn't his strength.
WyattSheepMask Posted November 27, 2016 Posted November 27, 2016 I think another thing that separates this Goldberg return from Hogan is that your not having that 'passing the torch' aspect to it. Hogan v Rock was much old v new, whereas Goldberg v Lesnar have that faced eachother before and were from similar eras
