All of this is true but another way of looking at it is winning the title within a month under Vincent K. McMahon's rule. When Hogan was first in the WWWF, it was his father calling the shots.

Fun fact : Golddust owns the rights to his likeness and name and can use them whenever.

But if WWE really wanted some of the TNA cast in the game they could have gotten them. WWE and TNA have worked together in letting superstars into each others stuff before most recently being Flair inducted into the WWE HOF with the 4 Horsemen.

I dont think Flair is involved in TNA anymore.... unless the few times I turn it on he is just absent?

He's an independent wrestler now. Sad times for The Nature Boy.

The WWE owns the rights to names not images. If they owned the rights to the image, Bubba and Devon and whoever else would have to completely overhaul their look when wrestling somewhere else. They can't be called The Dudley Boys anymore because the WWE owns the name.

Now there are some who go by their real names like Kurt Angle, The Hardys and Mick Foley. That's why they're able to go to TNA or where ever else and still be known by that name. This probably makes it tricky for the WWE to include Angle and the Hardys in this years game. Some wrestlers are smart enough to not sell their gimmick to anyone, like Sting and that's why he can still use that now. The WWE doesn't own the Hulk Hogan name, that's why he can use it no matter where he goes. There's a bunch of legal bullshit that goes into this.

He's got no one to blame but himself. The guy has been divorced how many times now? At least five or six I think. The guy still needs money, after my second failed marrige I would've said "fuck it i'm done with that". I heard that the WWE was interested in signing him to some sort of contract where he would have some kind of job at the WWE offices.

Flairs gonna be a sports trading card show in Chicago Saturday but I'm gonna skip that and go see The Ghost Inside since I'm seeing Flair next year at the Wrestling Museums HOF induction anyway.

Started playing WWE '13 tonight.

The Attitude Era mode is the most fun thing in the world of wrestling video games since WWF No Mercy on N64.

Dig the new game though targeting system aint that great and making someone(not a computer) submit is nearly impossible.

There's an old phone prank call where the caller goes "Do you have Prince Albert in a Can? Well you'd better let him out!" It was on Family Guy.

I'm a little disappointed that the Attitude Era mode ends at Wrestlemania 15. It lasted a lot longer than that.

Yeah, I think the common agreement is that the Attitude era was from around Wrestlemania 13 to Wrestlemania 17. It was at its peak during Wrestlemania 15.
