I bet Hulk Hogan has a complete set of WWE voodoo dolls and he’s been sticking pins in them so Vince will have no choice but to ask him back for WM 32.

Much as I like Jim Cornette, he comes off as [completely clueless and whiny in his rant about LU here](http://www.wrestlezone.com/news/668853-jim-cornette-on-lucha-underground-season-two-premiere-that-is-the-most-heinous-horse-st-that-ive-ever-seen-in-my-life). Maybe the idea of promoter ego having nothing to do with booking is a foreign concept to him.

…so he can job to The Rock, who will then grab the microphone and, in front of the millions (“and millions”) of The Rock’s fans out there, ask Hulk Hogan what he thinks of “us” now.

I can see a judge giving HH a choice: job to The Rock with no chance of getting the pin back, or 10 years in jail. HH would take jail time.

Doesn’t matter what Hogan thinks or says. The bottom line is that, while his trial with Gawker continues, there’s NO FUCKING WAY WWE is touching him or willingly associating his name with theirs. The fact that he doesn’t grok this at all (and I’m sure it’s been explained to him) is getting kind of ‘look in another direction and edge away’ creepy.

Fun fact: Hogan never got his win back from Brock Lesnar.

Pretty sure Delusional Hogan thinks Hogan-Lesnar would be a stellar main event for WM32.

And that he should win.

[Bret ‘the Hitman’ Hart has prostate cancer.](http://www.wrestlinginc.com/wi/news/2016/0201/607224/bret-hart-announces-prostate-cancer-diagnosis/)

Bret’s had a hard life, and this is just another solid punch in the gut after everything else fate has dealt him and his family. He’s going under the knife in a few days. I hope he makes a full recovery.

Any chance, if he dies, he’s famous enough for the media to blame the whole thing on how drugs and steroids kill all wrestlers without realizing it was actually cancer?

And Owen was _never_ half as over as Bret was.

We _all_ blame Hornswoggle. But that’s a topic for another time.

In lighter news, it’s been announced today that [Lucha Underground has already been greenlit for season 3](http://www.wrestlinginc.com/wi/news/2016/0201/607223/lucha-underground-third-season-officially-announced/).

I don’t think I can make a poll in an already started thread, but I want to ask everyone…

Who’s your favorite grammy award winning wrestler?
