More Starrcade 97 finish

By Scott Keith on 25 November 2016

> I’ve seen people somewhat defend Hogan, noting Sting was "out of shape." If you define that as not on the roids and smaller, sure but he certainly wasn’t fat. He looked skinnier, but his arms were still decent.

> In fact i would say he looked better, or at least no worse than Roddy Piper a year earlier at Starrcade 96, you know the show Hogan jobbed clean no problem at.

> Sure Piper was on the gas but he had a gut and still looked smaller than Sting at ’97.

> My point is that clearly Hogan was full of shit and wanted to sabotage Sting’s run from the get go and is 100% the reason Starrcade ’97 was the biggest middle finger to their fans ever.
