Hulk Hogan para Papa (no IMDB)

[Rufferto]

I'd love to be a fly on the wall during the college of cardinals discussion, but with his recent induction into the hall of fame and show stopping performance at Wrestlemania 21, I can't imagine that Hogan's name hasn't been bandied about quite a bit. When he stormed down to the ring and beat on Hassan, I don't think the symbolism of a Christian hero crushing his Muslim enemies into the dust was lost on the Catholic Church top brass.
Hogan has enormous drawing power. He's well known internationally, a proponent of saying your prayers, positive thoughts and positive deeds. His reverence for the "big man upstairs" is unquestionable, and when's the last time a pope could boast of having the largest arms in the world? Pius II? Maybe.
I don't know, I might be out in left field on this one, but when the smoke rises from the conclave something tells me the color will be red and yellow.

I feel also that the papacy should shift it's focus to the Hulkster. The pope is traditionally an elderly fellow and rather weak looking. Perhaps it is time for a change; Hulk Hogan's 24-inch pythons could inspire a whole new generation of followers to help spread the word of Hulkamania, err, God.

As a Catholic, I must say I'm a bit underwhelmed as the new Pope was chosen. Sure, he looks like a nice guy, and probably knows his way around the Vatican, but I want a man who knows his way around the squared circle. As we all know, Hulkamania is the most powerful force in the universe. (Hogan being his usual humble self said it was the fans, and not Hulkamania, he's so modest!) And, if the Catholic Church had used the power of Hulkamania it could have overpowered the world had it chosen to do so. The only possible explanation I can think of is that Hogan must have turned down the job himself. He must have some business to take care of, or is still possibly considering a presidential run in 2008.
