Some of these documents are from the WWF Warrior lawsuit and some are from the WCW racism lawsuit.

Anytime I need to see your face I just close my eyes
And I am taken to a place
Where your crystal minds and magenta feelings
Take up shelter in the base of my spine
Sweet like a chica cherry cola

Not that I mind, but how are all these contract details being leaked?

Sonny Ono sued them for discrimination and a lot of material was put out for discovery.

Even though WCW was definitely racist, the notion of Onoo being the one to file suit is hilarious in and of itself.

Not that I'm trying to defend WCW, but pretty much every wrestling promotion ever is racist.

I'd be upset if I was good pals with the guy basically in charge of the operation and was still given a deeply racist character to play.

But he did it for several years and only filed suit when he was fired, so I don't have much sympathy for him, Like, he took the money, you know?

But they're only just now being released? Or were they buried somewhere and someone just happened to notice them?

Also how much did, say Superbrawl VIII make? The Hogan/Sting match was the headliner so I'm curious how much Hogan made just from buys.

I have a bizarre memory where there was some kind of match where Hogan copied Kevin Sullivan's stupid eyebrow paint type stuff but I can't remember when that would have been or what it was for.

They were always available, just nobody's gone through the files until this archivist who's uploading them to Scribd.

The other thing is the information in them was reported on years and years ago so no one really thought to post the actual documents because most of it was considered old news.

I believe Halloween Havok 1995, ft the rare shaved Hogan.



It was showing the "DARK SIDE OF HOGAN"! He makes sure to pause and look around comically to make sure everyone gets a good see early in the match

That's not a war bonnet, it's a gladiator helmet. It was for his planned feud with Spartacus. You know, that guy who said woo and did the figure four.

I can see why he ditched the war bonnet, but he should have never stopped wearing his licence plate as a back-facing necklace.

"War bonnet" is what Hulk Hogan actually called it. He made those words come out of his mouth.

Honestly, I feel the same. Never got into Hogan as a kid, and even when I started to get his appeal as an adult he just did nothing for me.
