Netflix Synergy and Hogan
By Scott Keith on 8 January 2025
What type of brand synergy do you think WWE and Netflix will unleash? Stranger Things girl joining the Wyatt Sicks? The first ever PLE WWE Squid Games? A Kobra Kai tournament on RAW? Free the Orange is the New Black cast from prison in a cinematic match? A WWE Glass Onion or Black Mirror could be fun. What are the odds this braintrust ends up creating a new Robocop freeing Sting from the cage type moment that will live on in infamy?
On another note, how strange is it that the death of Hulkamania has been caused by the Hulkster himself? It really is something deeply meta in retrospect after multiple “bad guys” failed at that task only for Hogan to ultimately do that job himself.
Best of luck to you and my fellow readers in all of 2025.
I’m still pissed that AEW brought in the Cobra Kai cast at their hottest peak and couldn’t figure out ANYTHING better than Stingray doing whatever he was doing with Jeff Jarrett. Cobra Kai is the closest thing on TV to pro wrestling in a mainstream format and they could have milked a crossover for weeks and made a star out of a lot of people.
