Crank up the volume and dance to “Jai Ho”! “Slumdog” wins! “Slumdog” wins! “Slumdog” wins!
“Slumdog Millionaire” scored a slam dunk at the Oscars, winning Best Picture, Best Directing, Best Original Song (for “Jai Ho” which went up against another song from the movie, “O Saya”), Best Music (Score), Best Film Editing, Best Sound Mixing, Best Cinematography and Best Adapted Screenplay.
Based on the eMarketer numbers cited by Mashable, “71 million people created content on social networks last year, while 21 million posted blogs, 15 million uploaded videos, and more than 11 million participated in virtual worlds.”
Hell no! Please tell me this rumor isn’t true. I’ve never liked Hulk Hogan, not during the height of Hulkamania and certainly not now.
In fact, the only time I found him tolerable was during his NWO days as a heel in WCW. I mean, I respect what he did to bring pro wrestling to mainstream attention, but I just never liked his character and his wrestling style. Sure, make an appearance at WrestleMania 25, but please don’t wrestle.
I have no idea whether there is any truth to these rumors, although I suppose it’s possible that WWE would want to bring Hogan back for the 25th WrestleMania. Personally, I don’t want it to happen.
Hulkamania died for me last year when taped conversations between Hogan and his son Nick while the latter was serving time for felony reckless driving were made public. Hogan made insensitive comments about the young man who was critically injured and also talked about helping his son broker a deal for a reality show that would chronicle Nick trying to get his life in order after serving his sentence.
Even if I could get past all that, I still wouldn’t be all that excited to see the 55-year-old Hogan limp around the ring and go toe-to-toe with superstars who are in their prime.
