Jerusalem posted:I always thought that was overstated or one of those echo-chamber type things where enough people said it to the point people just believed it. Then I heard Jericho tell a bunch of stories about how much Vince legitimately considers "Junior" an insult, the first of which coming from the time Jericho cut a promo where he called somebody junior, and when he came back Vince was all over him laughing and saying,"You called him Junior! That is such a great insult, great job, you really tore him up!" It makes a lot of sense considering the old territory promoters all used to call Vince "Junior" when he was working for his dad in the old days.

MassRafTer posted:Hogan threatened to go back basically every year from December of 96 through 99. Brother Love claims talks got really close one year but I kind of doubt it. I have no doubt that Hogan used to do that. I was more wondering what kind of deal Vince would have hypothetically given him since Austin was A. Hotter than the surface of the loving sun as a draw and B. Vocal about his distaste for Hogan WOULD Hogan have come back to a deal that didn't offer him creative control and all the perks he was used to?

ChrisBTY posted:Man... Hogan was an asset from the start of the NWO to Starrcade. When he buried Sting instead of letting him go over, it was the end of the company. Not immediately, but that was when Hogan made it clear that he wouldn't ever allow anyone to be bigger than him, even if they should be. It's not that Sting was going to be the big guy who would carry the company forward, but it should have shown the company not to trust that Hogan w/r/t Goldberg. Because if you ask about people who moved the needle, Goldberg did, for a while.

ChrisBTY posted:What was the solution there I wonder? I guess the first solution would have been to not trust Hogan to not get into Patrick's ear and just not do a fast count angle. But when you give a man like Hogan CC, what are your options? What's keeping him from saying 'I'm keeping the belt forever and never losing. And also I demand to be put into a gauntlet match where I beat every single wrestler in the company on a single show."? Obviously you can't go back and know all the poo poo that's going to happen in hindsight, but this ABSOLUTELY should have been a huge warning sign for when they started to push Goldberg as top face, and Bischoff didn't learn at all. Someone needed to make it clear Goldberg was the top star now and he was going to be the one to utterly destroy the NWO like fans had wanted.

Tato posted:Oh yeah, Goldberg was a lucky life preserver that somehow makes it even sadder that they hosed it up. But Hogan and Nash were very smart in expertly sabotaging him. Not only did they find a way to make him less over after winning the belt, but eventually turned him into a paranoid dude who refused to do jobs as well. I think they would have been just as successful in sabotaging any other phenoms WCW lucked into. Yeah, you really see where Goldberg gets it from. I can't blame Austin for being paranoid about protecting his spot, considering what happened to him in WCW when Hogan came in.

RealFoxy posted:Eric kinda showed he was just a one trick pony that caught lightning in a bottle with the NWO era, and too much politicking and creative control ensured that the guys that made the NWO happen were going to make sure they were the only ones at the top of the card. He was also clearly too easy for the wrestlers to work. Bischoff was desperate to feel cool and getting to be part of the NWO was how he did that.
