This won't make Vince "some" money, it'll make him a lot. Just imagine the sells on the nWo shirts alone. Definitely for the short term, he'll make money.

As for "none of them can wrestle..." what have you been watching for the past few years? You think Vince cares about WRESTLING? Anyhoo, IMO Scott Hall is a better wrestler than most of the guys in the WWF right now, Kevin Nash is a big man who's just as good as most big men (may be lazy, hold people down, etc. but this is the WWF owned by Vince now, not WCW where Nash did whatever the hell he wanted. He's supposedly in great shape and shaved off some pounds since we last seen him in WCW.), and Hogan is Hogan. If you think the nWo, more specifically Hogan, ain't gonna make money, you're kidding yourself.

I've always felt Hogan's matches were underrated (as Hollywood mainly). He plays one of the best heels in wrestling, and while he's not Chris Benoit, I ****ing enjoy it. He does everything a heel is "supposed" to, a real old school heel. He uses eye rakes, scratches, eye pokes, low blows, rolls out of the ring to avoid fighting, gets his opponents to come to him, etc. And even if you don't like his matches (I've felt a few cage matches he's had were great, like Savage vs Hogan, Hogan vs Bossman, no joke) they're almost always memorable. Hogan vs Warrior, Hogan vs Savage, Hogan vs Andre the Giant, who's ever gonna forget those?

And I don't think Hogan is gonna be a wrestler in WWF for very much longer, buy Vince would be crazy NOT to have Hogan wrestle for a while. There are a lot of dream matches just waiting to happen that will be bigger money drawers than The Rock/Austin will ever be. The Rock vs Hogan, Steve Austin vs Hogan, Ric Flair vs Hogan again, it doesn't take a moron to figure out that these matches should take place before Hogan retires.

And as Ridley said, nWo isn't only going to be those three guys... You put Jericho and Mr. Perfect in there (and Angle, although I don't think he really fits, it looks to be shaping up that way kinda...) and you've got a group full of big names, and they can wrestle, too.

And "same old boring matches..." So you're saying you'd rather have the nWo NOT come in, and see The Rock fight Kurt Angle, Triple H, or Austin for the eight millionth time?

Hogan didn't say he'll only job to The Rock either, where the hell did you pull that from?

Vince IS stupid for doing this, I agree there, but that's only because he would have never had to do this if he didn't screw up the Invasion angle in the first place. He's now doing what he should have done in the first place.

PS. Why does everyone have to whine about everything? People bitch about nWo being rehashed again, they bitch about Hogan, Hall, and Nash being old, they bitch about them holding down talent, they bitch about what they'll do in WWF as if they can tell the future, they bitch all the time. Why don't you just enjoy WWF now, it's the best it's been for a while. When's the last time WWF built up a PPV as good as NWO 2K2? Like Wrestlemania 17? The way I see it, The Road to Wrestlemania (from RR to WM) is always a great time for WWF, stop bitching and enjoy it.
