Would you be okay with this happening, essentially it's a Hogan retirement storyline(hear me out!!)
I don't think Hogan should ever wrestle again, but I don't think I would be totally opposed to one more match, a final retirement match, and here's how I would book it, you have 6 weeks between EC and Mania
Week before EC: You advertise Hogan for next week and tease a big announcement
Week 1: Hogan announces he is retiring, and thanks all the fans, says he had to come back to WWE to say goodbye.....Sierra. Hotel. India. Echo. Lima. Delta. SHIELD....the shield come down and surround him like they are going to put him out...when John Cena runs in to save the day, the Shield bail from the ring and leave Hogan and Cena staring at the Shield
Week 2: Cena finishes wrestling a match and the Shield come down and triple team him and beat him down
Week 3: Cena calls out Hogan asking him for his help, saying he needs the hulkster one more time
Week 4: Cena comes to the ring looking for an answer, no Hogan, Shield comes down...Real American plays but nobody is there, Shield beats down Cena
Week 5: Hogan is advertised, he will answer Cena...in the main event segment Cena calls Hogan down, Hogan comes out and says he can't do it, he just doesn't have it in him...Hogan walks to the back...the Shield comes down and surrounds Cena...Hogan charges back in and the Shield runs off...Hogan grabs the mic and says for one final time he will lace the boots, and for one final time Hulkamania will run wild, him and Cena shake hands
Week 6(Go Home): The Shield cuts a promo about how Mania will be the end of Hulkamania because they're going to kill it, and not only that it's going to be the end of the CeNation as well
Cena and Hogan come out and cut a crazy 80's style promo with a lot of whatcha gonna do's and stuff and typical babyface fun
Mania: Cena and Hogan v The Shield...Cena starts but eventually tags in Hogan who overpowers Rollins and Ambrose...Reigns gets in and gets the better of Hogan who tags out. The Shield gets the heat on Cena hot tag to Hogan but they cut him off and start putting the boots to Hogan. Big crazy spear to Cena on the outside to take him out. So it's Hogan versus the Shield. they beat him down with boots and have him beat but Ambrose wants to inflict more pain and has Reigns hold him up. Hogan ducks a move and Ambrose blasts Reigns...meanwhile Hogan Hulks up on Rollins and Rollins bumps his ass off for him...Ambrose cuts him off and looks like he's got Hogan set up for his finisher when SPEAR...Reigns destroys Ambrose, hopefully Hogan has one more leg drop in him for the win, and afterwards Hogan, Cena and Reigns celebrate and pose
You retire Hogan, you let Cena and the Shield do most of the heavy lifting so the match is good and you turn Reigns face in a wrestlemania moment
Thoughts?
