he wasn't convinced Hogan would go through with it.


So this suggests that he did have something to do with telling Hogan to go heel.

Dude, calling someone a wrestling mark is the quickest way to lose credibility in order to put over your opinion of fake fighting.


I couldn't give a shite less about fake fights and fake outcomes....the stories that get me there are what matter and what make people watch.

So not buying into revisionist history makes you a mark now?


I'm wondering what revisionist history you are talking about....these damn numbers are readily available...these shows are all available from begging to end even if you don't have the network. None of this is revisionist history....it is a fact that ever since Vince Jr took over WWF/E that it has been better than WCW other than a time period of about 2 years between summer of 1996 to early 1998. That is fact based on financial numbers, industry experts (if you want to call dirt sheets experts which I'm sure you do), etc.

Bischoff has spoken about a meeting at Hogan's home in Tampa in which he laid out the heel turn. Hogan decline the offer but before Bischoff left he asked who was the other man in mind. Once Bischoff informed Hogan that it was going to be sting that's when Hogan made his move.

At this point in WCW Hogan was getting booed in Main Events, why wouldn't he take the role that was already in place for their biggest star.

I'm glad it didn't go down that way, but Bischoff never really convinced Hogan to do this as much as Hogan probably lets Bischoff think that he did.

Would anyone argue that X7, X8, and XIX is the best Trilogy of mania.


If WrestleMania 2000 wouldn't have been so steaming there would be an argument, because X8 was very overbooked and was basically the culmination of the failure of WWF/E to be able to use the purchase of WCW as any type of decent storyline.

But if you twist my arm it probably is the best 3 in a row. There would also be an argument if 4 were dropped out and we could put 3, 5, and 6 together.

Bischoff has said Hogan kicked him out of his house a few months prior for suggesting he turn heel.

Hogan goes where the money goes.

It really doesn't matter....I just find it hard to believe that Hogan would say no to that then come back to it on his own. It's just something that isn't in his nature....based on the other creative decisions he had made in WCW (where he had 100% full control over his character right down to whether he would "lose" or not) for his character.

I mean shite....Hogan had just signed off on him and Savage beating 8 dudes including his pal Tiny Lister, Luger, Flair, Arn, The Dungeon of Doom, and some dude called the Ultimate Solution. Of course he was getting booed.

I can't believe grown men watch this shite. 40 year old little boys watching roided-up, shaved and oiled men in underwear fondle each other in a theatric drama in a boxing ring.

Let me guess. One story brick ranch, built between 1950 and 1975, hip roof, attached garage stacked with enough shite that it can't actually fit a car, on the Westbank, Kenner or Slidell, buys lottery tickets, owns more than one Saints jersey, drives a shiny domestic pickup truck or an entry-level Japanese econobox, works construction or law enforcement.

How's my aim?

Let me guess. Single wide trailer, built between 1950 and 1975, home depot storage building stacked with enough shite that it can't actually fit a lawnmower, in Holden, New Iberia or Grose Tete , buys male prostitutes, owns more than one dildo, drives a piece of shite domestic pickup truck with no muffler with truck nuts,unemployed

How's my aim

What would be the bigger disappointment this weekend: Bryan pulling out of mania or Tiger pulling out of the Masters?

How creative.

So original.

Coincidentally, what you thought was an insult towards me actually wasn't that far off from what I described originally. Why you denigrating your people baw?
