It was their theme for a while, if memory serves. Right down to Hogan poses and red and yellow lighting.

Not a quote, but I can't help but laugh at the ending of World War 3 where Hogan keeps pantomiming going under the bottom rope while Savage is supposed to be celebrating his first WCW World title win. He does it like twelve loving times.

Yeah, it was even more cartoonish than usual for Hogan. Couldn't they have just handed him a microphone or something?

The finish was originally supposed to be Giant eliminating Hogan clean and Savage winning the belt for the first time. Hogan literally changed it mid-match to a gently caress finish, then spent the entirety of what should have been Macho's celebration doing his mime act and saying poo poo on the mic like "Before I let you say anything, I want to ask the fans..." and "I deserve a shot at MY BELT"

Hulk Hogan is an rear end in a top hat.

EDIT: I think Savage winning the belt from Flair in WWF is the only time he had a world title win where Hogan didn't immediately steal the spotlight.

i did a big wcw watch when i got back into wrestling bc i didnt follow it when i was a kid and hooooly poo poo i could NOT believe that moment. just, the most hogan hogan poo poo ever, and poor randy savage has to stand around and wait for him to get it out of his system before he can even, like, pose with the fuckin belt.

Would a WCW vs. WWF ([Again] though probably in a style that at first doesn't require thread interaction because the only person that should experience burnout is me, the idiot thinking of doing a TEW thread) thread be better or WCW welcomes Hogan (in the style of the Basic Chunnel thread) because I need to


shiksa posted:

I remember from the Bryan and Vinny that Hogan had a 500,000 dollar bounty that he doubled with 500,000 of his own money to make a million dollar bounty on himself. It was probably that.

That spring break show was pretty much the only bright spot in 2000 - it was the last show before the Bischoff and Russo superteam took over so there was nothing to build to, they booked it like a house show, set up some fun matches and then had them.

Only because the main event of Hogan-Sid Justice was booked a few matches later on the card than Savage-Flair.
