Seeing Sting drag an unconscious Savage outta the ring in a total "we got got and have to accept it for tonight" moment still makes me :to:


I really don't know if there's anything about that reveal that coulda been done different. Just flawless. Heenan spazzing fit his character, he always hated Hogan. Worst yet was as evil as it was Hulk didn't tell one lie in the promo

Definition of a money promo. My best friend bought it and we were so hyped because it felt like it was WCW vs WWF at the time..didn't see the Hogan swerve coming at all. It all made sense when he did the money promo of a lifetime afterwards too. Hall had me rolling..just hulking up and fukking around in the background on some OTHER shyt:laugh:

NWO was like the gift and the curse.

If WCW knew when to kill it, they might still be around.

To be honest, the NWO should have ended at Starrcade '97 with Hogan losing the title cleanly or, at least, Superbrawl '98.

I also like how he cut the promo as Hulk Hogan and not Hollywood Hogan; there's a difference there. There was a lot of real bitterness in that promo coming from Hulk Hogan that wouldn't have came off as well if he immediately adopted the Hollywood persona. It was a nice evolution of character that I've never seen anyone mention.

:heh: @ him constantly adjusting Mean Gene's arm like a mic stand. Totally non kayfabe moment.

Perhaps the biggest angle ever which led to another huge angle with Sting which they ended up dropping the ball on. Cuz Sting should have won that belt clean and had a long title reign which could have ended in Goldberg beating him. But Hogan's ego had to get in the way and then they give the Hogan Goldberg match away for free like dumbasses. Then the final straw was Goldberg losing to Nash just so he could lay down for Hogan.
