Vince McMahon vs Hulk Hogan. Behind the scenes even more interesting than wrestling match

It's November 2017, and already WWE pro wrestling (sports entertainment) fans and news media are already speculating wildly about the card and angles (major occurrences) that one should expect at WrestleMania 34.

More importantly, in the short term, WWE top brass and bookers such as Vince McMahon, Michael Hayes, Pat Patterson, Road Dogg (Brian James) and a select few others, are scratching their heads as to who or what (more likely a combination of) will give the WWE television ratings and live crowd attendance a much needed lift.

As in all forms of business, sports entertainment involves elements of risk. In-ring risk, training risk, and risk of how storylines and new and returning talent will be received. You get the idea.

Not all pro wrestling returns are a romance made in heaven. You could ask Dave Bautista about that, and perhaps former WWE talent CM Punk may given an interesting response to his last return to the WWE ring. Some returns go even better than expected, as such was the case for Bill Goldberg, who enjoyed a stellar feud and solid matches with 'The Beast' Brock Lesnar.

Most of the modern world is aware of the hot water that Hulk Hogan (real name Terry Gene Bollea) got himself in over racist type comments et al that he made years ago, as he was going through a traumatic time in his storied life.

Former WWE diva Paige also had her own scandal to wrestle with involving a video camera and a few fellas.

Our long time friend Jake 'The Snake' Roberts has fought and beaten his own demons - namely those concerning drugs and alcohol, and many insiders consider Robert's to be one of the very best wrestling minds and promo men of all time. A solid worker, but it was his delivery of words and wrestling psychology that put him on the map. Robert's was a total package type of wrestler that drew fans to a arenas, and had a mesmerizing effect on television viewers. Interestingly, lately Roberts made a few public comments about what Ric Flair may consider to help keep his life on track.

Personalities, not technical wrestlers...

PERSONALITIES and LEGENDS are what the WWE needs right now for a multitude of reasons. Whether you are 20, 40 or 60 years old, you have probably seen just about all the pro wrestling holds and moves you would ever want to. Shout out to McMahon's classic line 'What a maneuver".

A combination of Hogan, Johnson, Paige, Roberts, Michaels, DDP and Hayes will give the WWE the shot in the arm that it needs.

Again, TV ratings and crowd attendance has not be so good in American and overseas markets, so if they wish to try new things and tactics the time is now.

Kudos on the WWE and ESPN on the Ric Flair 'Nature Boy' 30 for 30 documentary. It delivered worldwide news and buzz that the WWE machine needed, and its now time to follow up as we head into major events such as NXT War Games, WWE Survivor Series and WrestleMania.

Rumor has it that ESPN will next look at documentaries on Andre The Giant, 'Rowdy' Roddy Piper and Hulk Hogan. Timing and public perception, and a green light from Mr. McMahon and other top brass will all figure into that equation.

Stay tuned for the continuation on this Media Man exclusive. You won't want to miss it fans.
