Lol- Bobby always going into business for himself. But, it was on-brand for him, as he was a huge Hogan detractor.

They never told Bobby what would happen, so he spoiled it without meaning to.

He blamed Tony Schivone for that IIRC and had a lot of ugly stuff to say about him.

Bischoff was the only commentator who knew. If Heenan was upset it was probably at Easy E.

I've always loved the jacked black dude's reaction in the crowd when Hogan drops the leg. He's easy to spot.

People should listen to the stories about this from Eric Bishoff and Tony Schiavone. Their podcasts are great and they tell all about it. Sting was very close to being the third member instead of Hogan

Crazy to think it’s been 30 years but even at that time Hogan was way past prime.
