BAEST MODE!!!

There's a very small possibility that they really did not know what the Final Solution was and that it wasn't a reference to Hitler's terrible plan.

I do not however extend that same possibility to when Vince Russo wanted to give Hardcore Holly a finisher name and came up with "Hollycaust" for it.

You have to understand that Holocaust education was abysmal until the 1970s when the majority of WCW's management was already educated, except most of them had a 5th grade education.

I had never heard about the Final Solution until I read about it on wrestlecrap.com, but also I was 13

I mostly just think it doesn't make enough sense as a character name without being a reference for it to be more likely that it was just a coincidence. I don't think there was any malicious intent to it or anything, I think someone just thought referencing a really bad thing made sense for a bad guy.

In mild defense of Hogan that had been a large part of his career until then.

this glorious monument

So how do you think Hogan's thought process went when he decided he wanted to legdrop Pillman?

1) THAT MOTHERFUCKER DARES TO GET OVER IN MY COMPANY! That don't work for me brother! Get Bish on the line!
2) Hmmm this Pillman kid seems to be getting over. Can't be having that. Time for legdrop.
3) If I drop a leg of this Pillman fellow I will take his heat and make it my heat. It's just crazy enough to work again.
4) If I don't drop a leg on Brian Pillman he will give birth to an absolute cringelord that nobody will ever will want to see wrestle. I have to stop him!
5) I have been informed by Lord Xenu that I am too late to prevent Brian Pillman from giving birth to an absolute cringelord. Lord Xenu still wants me to drop the leg of him.

i went to one of these wrestling shows and it was... honestly? frickin boring. i wanna see ricky! i want to see his gold chains and respect for the ftw lifestyle

I mean its definitely 3, thats how the business worked in hogan's mind and its hilarious

I think the person I'd most want to discover a Being John Malkovich door into would be Hogan. how much fun would that be? just bumbling around muttering "brother dude jack" and giving in to your most insane whims, and no one would ever be the wiser

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.
