I sincerely hate Hulk Hogan
By Scott Keith on 28 June 2024
As a human being. And yes I understand that probably will merit some mocking. After all this is “just wrestling”. But my god. I'm not even gonna go into all the selfish things the man did to provide my case other than ONE. And you know which one it is. The single biggest and most selfish act any of us have ever witnessed in wrestling. Starrcade 1997. They try to sanitize it by just focusing on the supposedly botched finish. THAT doesn't matter nearly as much to me and a lot others as the other 99% of the match.
Sting comes out and it's fucking EPIC as it should be. But Hogan is mocking the whole time. Keep in mind this guy had been running away from Sting in terror leading up to this.
The match starts. Hogan proceeds to beat the absolute living fuck out of Sting for 12 minnutes strait with Sting KINDA getting in a moment or two. This absolutely fucking MURDERS THE CROWD. All anyone wanted at this point was a catharsis. Sting fucking MURDERING Hulk Hogan but no. ..we got the opposite. Then Hollywood WINS fairly and the bullshit follows making STING, Bret Hart and all of WCW look like pussies and total boobs.
To this day this is the most selfish and company defeating thing i've ever seen. Imagine Stone Cold Steve Austin being CRUSHED by HBK and being beaten FARILY only to win on some contrived bullshit. Do you REALLY think WWF would have gained the leverage that it did?
It's underrated how much Hogan ALWAYS fucking murdered Sting. More than ANYONE. Because the dude was legit jealous of Sting's popularity. They could have made things right the next night on Nitro…NOPE……Hogan Dominates and is screwed again. Okay so SuperBrawl 1998….NOPE…..Hogan DOMINATES and is screwed via Macho Man intererence.
Okay so Fall Brawl 1999. NOPE. Sting SUPPOSEDLY turns hell because he uses a bat (in a match where Hogan used ring cables and a chair on Sting). And Sting only wins via massive shenaningans. .
Hogan CLEARLY felt threatened by STING more than ANYBODY else and its why he ALWAYS had to dominate 99% of their matches and ALWAYS should have won but gee golly shenanigans ensued.
Sting isn't a fucking douchebag like Hogan thus he doesn't focus on this stuff but my god if ANYBODY had an arguement to be made about being absolutely FUCKED by Hulk Hogan it's STING.
And there were MULTIPLE instances where Hogan making Sting look like a bitch was detrimental to WCW. Eric Bischoff did nothing. Even though it was Sting that basically kept WCW afloat before Hogans' arrival and it was STING that LAUNCHED WCW into the stratosphere in 1997 and early 1998….no…..Hogan needed to show his dominance.
In an alternate universe Sting RIGHTFULLY so quits WCW and joins WWF in 1998 and becomes an even bigger star than he was previously.
Am I right? FUCK HULK HOGAN.
Anyway.
Who watched the debate last night? Man those guys are OLD. Am I right?
