The Rulk that Hulk fought was the same one that stomped the Watcher along with everyone else. Rulk started losing when he stopped using his absorption powers.

Actually he started to job in the X-Force fight everything after that was a long way down. Till he reached an offical downgrade.
The Lady Liberators fight was still a pretty poor durability showing for him irregardless. The man is just too weak against bladed weaponry and regular bullets for a Hulk character.
And it makes me sad because Rulk, as a character concept, is amazing. He just can't get written correctly. He's either Loebforce or Rhino, not a healthy happy medium.

His durability always been crazy against blades weapons but he was always a beast.
Current Rulk is doing good again. He has been beating almost everyone that comes his way.

Honestly just recently I was thinking that Marvel finally found a stable level for Rulk judging from his showings in AvX, his own book and a few guest appearences.

Are you talking abiut the fight he was toying around with them? Even pretending he was koed. Gotcha.
I've yet to see any evidence that Rulk was really toying around in that fight and just didn't take advantage of the surprise of his recovery and their guard being down.
But it's been a while since I read that fight, so if my memory is hazy on the matter, please do prove me wrong with scans that say otherwise and I will gladly concede the point on that fight.
But he still had them against X-Force.
To just to clarify, because I feel it was misconstrued, I'm not saying anything against Hulk in this thread's fight. I was just trying to show Carver he might be better off sticking to more recent and more replicated scans/feats/claims/etc. since some folks may just write off said feats, regardless of their validity, because of their age.

Do you remember when Batman and Enchantress was owning Eiling? They was working him so bad that Enchantress blew half of his body up with an exploding Arrow. Which ft is worse? The Rulk showing against a lot of high Metas or being ripped through by the Bat family?
Let me know.

Hulk has replicated previous showings though. If anything, current Hulk is leagues more powerful than classic Hulk.
