10 Precise Moments Wrestlers Should Have Retired

8. Hulk Hogan - WWE SummerSlam 2006

Hulk Hogan couldn't work a Firefly Fun House match.

Bray Wyatt could try to lead him into the recesses of his mind and confront the Hulkster with his shadow self, but it wouldn't work. The issue here is that Hogan's mental walls are a fortress of bullsh*t all the way to the taps, brother. He is incapable of self-reflection, which wouldn't make for riveting drama. Perhaps Wyatt could attempt to unlock Hogan's mind in the form of a quiz show with a 'Hangman' portion. Bray is looking for a word to follow 'Jiggly jiggly' to allow Hogan to face the ugliness of his racist past, but his mind wanders to his daughter's a*se cheeks.

"What was the question again, brother?"

So it's probably best that Hogan work his last outing in a traditional match - not on a TNA UK house show tour but the stage built on his blood, sweat and juice: WWE. His entire TNA stint was mutually destructive. He should have done the honours for Randy Orton at SummerSlam 2006, even if it meant Orton repeating this fact for the rest of eternity, as WWE promos tend to go. An asterisk always seemed to haunt Orton as the man WWE tried to present him as.

This would have scrubbed it from the record.
