Worst thing they started out with was Hogan vs Flair. They could've waited for that and for it to be for the WCW title yeah that'll work the fans over to Hogan by making him beat their guy 1st batter up. Man he could've had Vader 1st who was still that over monster heel then Flair.

The funny thing is, WWE tried the same thing and response was so tepid they dropped the feud entirely. So why anyone thought having Hogan come into WCW and immediately, repeatedly beat and fukking RETIRE Ric Flair was going to endear him to that audience is :why: as hell. Also lol that just like the WWF, they instead pivoted to Macho vs Flair in a program that drew better than Hogan/Flair.

He never had to keep Flair happy because ultimately Flair was a push over and would go along with anything and could not compare to Hogan's power plays and then not even Hall/Nash's power plays.


Also nobody that ever ran WCW really got along with Flair.

I don’t know why Flair agreed to do all that humiliating stuff in the late 90’s. Getting destroyed by the NWO every week, getting beaten up and shaved by Vince Russo and his son, being a mental patient in an asylum, etc. Seems like he should’ve had enough cache to refuse some of that crap.

Tbh I think the WCW side telling him he wasn't worth the money and wanted to change everything about him, then Vince telling him yeah I'm done using you go back to WCW and then returning to WCW only to have a C string announcer suddenly be his new boss and focusing 100% on Hulk Hogan mind fukked him for the rest of his career.

Then you add in Hogan's political game was untouchable, then Hall and Nash coming in...

Savage and Flair being one of the few programs that actually drew for WCW during those years had to had Hogan on his feelings :mjlol:

To be fair, that Savage/Flair feud was low key flames.
  • Flair showing his entire ass during Uncensored 95
  • Flair putting the beats on Randy Savage's dad
  • Flair trying to fukk Liz from WWF to WCW
Flair was like ultimate scumbag throughout that entire feud. Meanwhile, the Hogan feud had some of the WOAT moments in professional wrestling:

  • The Tonya/Nancy angle :francis:
  • Twenty fukking mask men during that Angle
  • Flair getting retired more times than a old folks home
  • Shaq interfering because why not
  • Mr T referring because why not
Just all around bad:francis:
