How many times did Hogan do a Mania job?

That's just it, it's not 1987. If Hulk Hogan hadn't come along until 2005, and every show was ending with him kicking out of the other guy's finisher, dropping the leg, and posing, he'd be getting booed just like Cena is. Probably much worse, 'cause at least Cena's not that bad where it's the same formula every time.
But it's gotten to the point where there's no odds he can't overcome, no wrestler he can't beat. And, good lord, he just came back in 4 months from something they said would keep him out a year. Who is he, Jack Bauer? Does he have the healing ability of Wolverine?
And like I said, I like Cena. I'm not one of these too-cool-for-school guys in the crowd who dump on him. I think he's entertaining and better in the ring than a lot of people give him credit for. I've never cared when he wins. I thought the Rumble surprise was great.
But it's kinda gone from it being "cool" to hate Cena to the point where there's comparisons out there between Sunday's Rumble finish and WrestleMania 9 where they shoe-horned Hogan back in as world champion out of nowhere. This resentment like "Oh God, not Cena again".
Is it a horrible decision if he wins the belt and then wins at Mania? Not at all. But he could stand to lose, that's all I'm saying. Not all the time, not even again for the rest of 2008. Just once in a major match.
