There have been rumors for several weeks about a possible match at WrestleMania 21 between Hulk Hogan and Muhammad Hassan. Those rumors are heating up, as Hogan has started going into "wrestling mode" in mainstream interviews and specifically targeting Hassan with promos. Hogan was on "The Steve and DC Morning Show" on Sirius Satellite Radio yesterday and mentioned Hassan. With only one more Raw episode to go before Mania, I would expect *some* announcement to be made this Monday if WWE is indeed intending to have Hogan work a match, since they would likely lose a lot of PPV buys by not making an announcement and having the match be a last minute surprise.

Trying to put a "booking" head on this instead of just thinking "yeah wouldn't it be cool to have Hogan in a match". If they do this, it's likely Hogan will not be able to do more than a five minute effort, Hassan as we have seen is not a terrific worker that could carry Hogan, Hogan also will not lose to Hassan.
Therefore, we are saying that a character that has been carefully built with a bit of momentum and no defeats as yet (on TC anyhow) should be squashed in a 'Mania match by a legend that won't be around post 'Mania for him to get the receipt or any payback???

It wouldn't make any sense.
Hell no...that's not what I'm sayin at all...I just think a Hassan-Hogan match would be interesting to watch. Not because it'd be a great match or anything. Hey, it's either that or you can have La Resistance on the PPV take your pick.
Of course I'd have the rookie pick up a cheap win in a situation like this. I'd probably have Hogan dominate most of the match though..lol It's not like Hassan's been killing people anyway..he's supposed to out smart them. Daivari Interfere or something..whatever. In the words of Carlito, "What are you talkin' about Teddy?" Yeah, have Hassan win. But will this even happen? You'd think they would have had some build up or something.
It's a matter of who deserves the win, a win by Hassan would rocket him to the moon, but Having Hogan win does nothing for him. It would only send the fans home happy, and thats what counts mostly.
I would defenetly have Hassan go over...This is how I'd plan it: Have Hassan come out at WrestleMania for a promo and challenge any American to a match...all of a sudden the All American song starts blasting and of course The Hulkster comes out. Have this match short and with The Hulkster dominating...but at the end have Hassan go over. Post match, you could have Hogan kick Hassan out of the ring and pose for the public.......or (for the Hogan's fans), you could have Hogan win this, but have Hassan beat the living crap out of Hogan after the match. He could claim to have ended Hulk's career after words :o).
