Hogan is smart enough to know what that means and said if they were going to do a two match series he'd win both. (Because the only reason Shawn would throw such a fit and demand to win the first match is he planned to fake an injury and not do the job in return.)

Hogan never got his win back from Brock, brother. He'll come home eventually.

Plus Sting is in WWE now. He can beat them both in a handicap match. Isn't Kidman working for WWE production now? He can beat him too.

I'm still amazed that WCW never got Yokozuna, even just for one appearance, to give Hogan his win back. I know his weight was out of control, but a. I'm pretty sure by the time he was fired from WWF he could still get medically cleared to work and could do a quick job and b. this company never cared about the well-being of its performers anyway.

Clash of Champions 1996 around midway through the Dungeon of doom is in the ring and during Sullivan ranting the camera keeps cutting to what appears to be a half werewolf half leprechaun guy running around the ring. What the gently caress was that?

Hahaha, Hogan was playing chess and Shawn was still figuring out checkers. Shawn's politicking always annoyed me alot more than Hogan's for whatever reason, so I've always enjoyed that story.

What the hell was Sarge's deal anyway? He was nominally in charge of the Power Plant right? The only match I've ever seen was him tagging with Goldberg at some late 90s/early 2000s PPV and they lost, which meant Goldberg was fired or something. I also remember a video some British guy did where he went backstage at WCW, and at one point was point blank asking Sarge questions that would directly break Kayfabe, and Sarge gets a confused look on his face and makes an excuse to leave.

When he wrestled, DeWayne Bruce mostly was a jobber on a C-show or below in the State Patrol with Lt. James Earl Wright. He was going to get repackaged as Braun the Leprechaun but that gimmick died quickly due to negative reception (it was the only idea too stupid for the Dungeon of Doom, I guess). At some point after that he transitioned into being the head trainer at the Power Plant. And he also got really mad at Louis Theroux during that interview and had Pez Whately put him through a grueling training session to teach him a lesson.
