About 8 years ago, I submitted an idea to, I thought, the WCW people. Never heard a word back. I even sent pictures and video of me along with the idea.
When Hollywood Hogan was the ‘bad’ guy, with the NWO, I came up with the idea fantasy, or Soap Opera (that’s what wrestling is anyway) that I was Hogan’s long lost brother, which Hollywood has never seen before, but knew he had a brother out there somewhere. The brother followed Hogan all through the years when Hogan first started wrestling. The brother was very proud of him until, he turned bad. It was time to straighten him out! It was announced throughout the wrestling community and to the fans that Hogan had a long-lost-brother, that looked just like him, and was very upset when his brother turned sour…. So upset that his long-lost-brother was going to hunt him down, show up at one of the matches… nobody knew when, where or how this would happen. Every time Hogan came out to the ring, he didn’t know (or the fans) if that brother would appear that night… the fans were also in suspense. One evening, during a wrestling event, it finally happened! Hollywood Hulk Hogan was out in the ring with the rest of his gang running off with the mouth… the spotlight left Hogan’s image… he got very upset, and demanded the light be back on him… the spotlight then aimed in a direction way up in the stands, a figure appeared, was this the time, was the long-lost-brother going to finally show up. Indeed it was the time. In disbelief, Hollywood couldn’t believe the resemblance, and this was the brother he never saw, and wanted to meet him… the long-lost-brother had other plans for him.. the fans were going nuts. The brother stood at ringside, with a very angry look on his face… Hollywood holding out his hand, wanting a hug.. the brother said a few words, smacked Hogan, turned away, said, "I’ll be back Brother!", then left… the soap would continue, what next???
"How could we possibly appreciate the Mona Lisa if Leonardo had written at the bottom of the canvas: 'The lady is smiling because she is hiding a secret from her lover.' This would shackle the viewer to reality, and I don't want this to happen to 2001." - Stanley Kubrick
And that was the angle that would have saved the company.

So I should probably explain that I do a lot of pointless web surfing. Anyway, when I clicked on this post and saw The Hawkster's avatar, I was immediately hit by this really strong sense that I'd seen it before -- sometime fairly recently, like a month or two ago. I didn't give it much thought, but out of nowhere, I just remembered:

Originally posted by flairforthegold13But forget being his brother, I say have an angle as a Hogan clone, designed in the Dungeon of Doom labratory.
Of couse, the match would have to be a draw. I mean, can the mighty Hogan beat himself? It would defy logic.
Oh, let's face it. Real Hulk would book himself to pin Clone Hulk.
Ha! That's funny because in actuality, nobody in wrestling would ever come up with something quite so stupid.
Oh, wait a minute ...
(EDITED to fix OWW linking problem detailed below. Original image actually looked fine to me -- I'm thinking because I had it cached from my original OWW visit. I will now most certainly stop posting.)

This one I can understand. From the way my friends and I talked about them, my GF thought that Edge and Christian was one person named "Edgen Christian". She was mighty confused when two people came out.
