Strangler I ment when he turns face again (as in for another time, not for his second time). Anyhoo, I disagree with you. Hogan's time is definitely not done. He never did rely on his in ring work for any of his heat (face heat or heel heat) and as long as Vince plays him right, he could last a while. He has charisma that few match, and when you're that good on the mic, you'll get places whether you're good in the ring or not (especially a legend).
And Ric Flair would have got a pop, but NOTHING like that of Hogan. The marks don't like Hogan because he's a heel and they like the Rock, the smarks don't like Hogan because they think he's an old guy who doesn't put anyone over and can't wrestle, yet he got the pop he did. You have to realize that he was standing face to face with The Rock, RIGHT AFTER dissing the crowd and acting like an arrogant son of a bitch, and the night after costing Austin the Championship, and the people were chanting "Hogan! Hogan!" Say what you want, but Flair wouldn't have got that. That was amazing. I think it'll last long past Wrestlemania too.
