Alright, if I was misinformed, I was misinformed. It happens.

That having been said. Would Hogan have put over Jarrett conventionally were he asked?

Because really using your creative control clause to sue over 'losing' in a promo is really the height of pettiness, even if it's within your rights.

Unless Hogan decided that it was just a good excuse to get a great severance package. I guess I can't fault him for wanting out.

I hope he wouldn't.

It might be petty but if he doesn't defend his creative control he weakens his chances of winning over a more legitimate breach in the future.

Why is it petty to insist that a company honor a contract?

Because it was ultimately an extremely minor offense, one that might have been thrown out altogether depending on the interpretation of the judge. (The judge ruled that since wrestling matches are pre-determined that things that overturn the ruling post-match are also subject to creative control, a different judge may have interpreted it differently).

You can make the argument of 'he was protecting the legal validity of the clause'. But why even evoke creative control over a promo in the first place?

In this instance it might have been seen in the same light as copyright - use it or lose it. If he didn't use it then he may have lost the right to use it for something more serious, like MRT said. I don't know how this would work in court because I'm neither A) American, or B) any kind of lawyer.

RODDY PIPER SCREWED GOLDBERG AT STARRCADE 99? WHAT HAPPENED! WHY DID HE DO THAT? WHAT WILL BRET HART DO?

Maybe we'll find out tonight at 8 PM on Nitro!

Madusa won the Cruiserweight title with the help of Spice, how will the women's revolution continue?

Stevie Ray was mad at Midnight, can the heat from Harlem (Texas) get back on the same page?

The Total Package and Liz destroyed Sting, will this be enough to get him in the Hall of Fame?

Chris Benoit beat Jeff Jarrett to win or retain the US title in a ladder match, what stupid thing will he do tonight?

The Varsity Club caused Hacksaw Jim Duggan to lose, what will Judge Hacksaw do as he's forced to renounce the United States?

ALSO SID VS THE WALL!

It is a historic Nitro so don't miss it!

The preshow will probably start closer to 7:30 and it is the main event of NWA MSW: MOUNTAIN JAMBOREE! Karl vs Johnny Blast for the belt!

That couldn't be a Russo idea, it's too 80's, too pedestrian and features a couple of old guys who should be retired (and Mike Rotunda).

Somebody snuck that one past him.

Also, somebody please inform Jeff Jarrett that he has no goddamn business in any form of the nWo, including Stevie Ray's black and white. This isn't TEW, your pop doesn't go up just because you're surrounded by popular wrestlers.

I feel like I need to emphasize and repeatedly remind everyone that Russo clearly meant that to be the show where everyone would say "It's all coming together!" and recognize what a genius he is and how brilliant his storytelling is.

And of course it ends with an nWo reunion. (Presumably Goldberg nearly slicing his arm off is next week?)
