Is the "Hulkster" back? (spoiler)
Anybody that watched WM18 last night probably saw the way the Rock and Hogan match ended and how the NWO attacked Hogan. After the match was over, Hogan and Rock did the old school "Hulkster" poses.... I can see this being a big old NWO plot, but I wouldn't be surprised to see Hulk at Raw tonight come out to his old music and be wearing his old gear....

Unless he's in a coma, they HAVE to have him on tonight. The post-PPV (especially post-WM) Raws have to be the biggest Raws so they can carry any momentum from the PPV that will translate into ratings. And with the numbers that the WWF has been producing on free TV as of late, they need all the help they can get......

Isn't The Rock just a swell guy. Hollywood Hogan nearly kills him by repeatedly ramming the truck into his ambulance, yet The Rock's forgiven him to the point where he insists he does his Hulkster poses

Normally I detest swerves, but I'm praying the NWO reunites tonight and has a good laugh at Rock's expense. Anything but a return to the flaccid days of Hulkamania.
Honk!

Old school hulk would be awesome. This NWO stuff is played. I mean they could revamp the NWO with new WWF badguys, maybe giving some of the smaller guys a name. But i really want to see hogan as a good guy again.

He injured his ribs pretty badly at a house show. I would expect him to take some time off and that may have been the reason for putting him out of the NWO. I was glad the Rock match was a clean finish and surprised they did not have Steph doublecross Jericho. Maybe they decided to wait on that one. I can't see HHH staying a face for very long. The WWF is very short on good heels right now. The NWO are a joke (two of them still couldn't beat Austin) and other than Angle there really isn't any serious contender for the big three.
However, all three of the main events had the expected winners HHH, Rock, and Austin. It was a pretty poor Wrestlemania, but I haven't been too thrilled with the WWF for some time.
It will be interesting to see how the roster split goes. Maybe some of the Cruiserweights can final get some air time.

I just think Hogan looked like a really cheesy actor last night holding his ribs. I in no way believed he was actually hurt. At one point he was holding his ribs, then he did his Hulkster thing, and when he was done it was like he realized his ribs were supposed to be hurting and he quick started holding them again. The only thing that was missing last night was "I am a real American". Hopefully he'll come out to it tonight.

Well that was disappointing. 
No yellow spandex... no "american" ... And a sucky match too.
What was this draft they were talking about, i missed LInda Mcmahon's speech. .... Although from what i gathered it's going to be a Flair vs Mcmahon ... Good v Evil sort of match up.
Man, with that shaping up, and the return of the Hulk, it feels like the 1980's all over again.

The draft takes place next Monday when both get to choose who wrestles exclusively on their show. Only the Men's & Woman's Champion can appear on both shows. Vince won the coin toss so he gets first pick.
After that, Vince "supposedly" won't be appearing on Raw anymore and Flair won't be on Smackdown.

And this program will last for about 4 weeks before they give up on it and bury the angle, at least that's what recent WWF history would suggest. 
Can someone please tell me HHH said that if Steph gets pinned she can no longer appear on television? I get the sinking feeling that he said she can no longer appear on WWF television, which might mean that Flair gets saddled with her "talent".
