| Plain and simple, he was a blessing and a curse. Yeah hordes more people turned the dial to see what was up with Hogan.. but at the same time, it all became the Hulk Hogan show. Whether it was his short red and yellow runs under the WCW banner or the over saturation of the New World Order, Hogan became the "star of the show" everyone else taking a role as a support player. Goldberg sort of broke that mold and became a star player and got the support from WCW creative.. probably explaining why anytime Hogan and Goldberg stepped into the ring together it ended up being a pretty big deal.
Like I said, WCW made the right choice bringing in Hogan.. he's Hulk Hogan for Christ sake. But the putting of him in his place should have started earlier. Bischoff drank the red and yellow cool-aide and let Hogan virtually run the place, in turn making the real WCW stars like Sting and Flair second stringers behind "The Man, Dude, Brother" Me = going to WrestleMania 25, The HOF and ROH's next PPV, what what? Two national pay per view events in one weekend, not bad.. |
