First good was spoiled, second good was flavor-wise...and the quote explains why.
You make like its all on Vince. Did WCW ever have a women division? Did ROH really have one? Evolve? Lucha Underground?
Women's wrestling doesn't have a pretty history in the US. WWE took a bit more serious when Lita was Trish was around. TNA did more than WWE for a period a time as well.
Is much better in Japan?
It wasn't all Vince it was just how Women Wrestling was viewed in USA. The only time women Wrestling was some what popular here was in the 40s. It's even worse in Mexico.
And women Wrestling was way way more popular in Japan then it ever was here.

Will he say "HH" to pop the live crowd, especially the ones that know what he really means with those letters?

It's going to be a mess.
Well in LU there is no women's division as its all just one division, though Striker yells about that fact enough that I still hate it. TNA's knockouts division was actually quite good and "revolutionary" for a bit, at least for the US.
Women's wrestling was actually seen as a pretty top draw in Japan for a long long time. Still would be if wrestling hadn't been dying since the 00's. All Japan Women nearly sold out the Tokyo Dome multiple times and was highly respected. There wasn't a Moolah who monopolized all women's wrestlers which definitely helped -- she pushed the kind of "women's wrestling" that we saw on WWF and WWE for years, like hair pulling, just being shit in general, etc. All focused on sex appeal. She even whored out her workers to promoters. For a long time if you were not affiliated with Moolah you would not get booked in the US either.
In Japan women's wrestling was always maintained as a "legitimate" sport (as legitimate as you can be for professional wrestling) so it never really went through a dark period. Same with men's wrestling, really. Wrestling was plummeting in the US during the 90's but it was still doing great in Japan.

the coffee should be fine to drink unless the oils have begun to spoil and it's very easy to know when that happens.
it's because they forgot what makes tag wrestling good. All they care about is the hot tag, but guys like The Revival are showing there can be so much more to the match.

Hogan was working as Hollywood when he liked that brother.
Hollywood is probably less racist than Terry or Hulk
The lapsed fan joke in here is too obvious and I'm not clever enough to come up with something subtle so I'll just go ahead and not say anything
don't go to lee Marshall's house

Don't worry guys, I'll make sure my section boos Hogan out of the building.
One of the few things that would legit get me to cancel my WWE Network subscription and delete the fucking app.

Although unlikely, Trump appearing at Mania isn't exactly out of the realm of possibility.
He is a hall of farmer after all.

Hulk Hogan could cut a racist promo at Mania and the only thing that would get him booed would be raising Roman Reigns' hand

I gotta roll up Roman brother! I gotta get my heat back dude! I gotta get my heat back on Roman so I can pass the torch to him after. I'm the torch bearer brother. The torch has no heat.

Not on USA, but Comcast has a channel that airs that week's Raw and Smackdown on either Friday or Saturday night called Universal HD.
I don't know why but that shit is one of the most memorable feuds ever for me

I think it could be because practically everyone had fantasy booked it in their head for years at that point, so even if it doesn't quite live up to the hype, it'd still be remembered.

Hogan turns up on Monday Night RAW, says he's enforcing Trump's immigration ban, brother. Says Bulgaria isn't on the terror watchlist but it should be, because Rusev's been terrorising the WWE, and that's a shoot, jack. Big boot, drop the leg, Hulk gets Rusev deported. However, the next week a mysterious masked brute named Mr. Russia viciously attacks Hogan. Hulk's desperate to find out who Mr. Russia is and have him kicked out of the country, dude. So Mr. Russia challenges him to a match at WrestleMania, with his secret identity and Hulk's American citizenship on the line. Hulk accepts, also convincing Lana to switch sides at some point, because of his raw sexual magnetism or some such. Of course it's all a ruse, Lana tricking Hulk with her feminine wiles and helping Rusev win a shock upset victory over the immortal Hulk Hogan. Mr. Russia wins and Hulk is deported, only for Mr. America to appear and lay a beating on Mr. Russia, unmasking him to reveal that it was Rusev all along!
