Don't know why he's complaining, when Hogan instantly took the Belt off of Triple H at Backlash 2002, just a month after he made his huge comeback from injury and won the Undisputed Title at Wrestlemania. That's another thing that really bothered me also. Hogan getting the belt then completly killed all the steam he gathered though out his comeback. But to be fair, HHH has killed his share of potential pushes too. |

Oh puhlease, to those who bring up HHH dropping the title to Hogan. If HHH was so unselfish, he wouldn't have wanted his win back. instead, he made sure that he pinned Hogan cleanly on Smackdown, just so he could say that he did it. And kudos to those of you who are pointing out that HHH has repeatedly ragged on Hogan over the years while Hogan has never said anything. Let's not forget that HHH made sure to chime in on the Hogan/HBK situation. What the  did HHH have to do with any of that huh? He took the shot at Hogan for no other reason than he could. Hogan stayed on top for 4 years straight because the business experienced unprecedented growth under his reign as Champion. Hogan revolutionize the entire industry in WWF, then went on to do it again with WCW in the 90's. HHH has not, nor will he EVER have that type of drawing power. |

And we all see how his "star power" helped WCW last.

And we all see how his "star power" helped WCW last. Hogan left in October of 99. Came back for about 6 months in 2000. Left in July 2000. He was hardly there for the last 2 years of the company. So everyone who blames Hogan for killing WCW, needs to explain how a guy kills a company when he's not even around. The AOL/Time Warner merger killed WCW, It's been said by everyone who was a part of that company. Let's call a spade a spade here. When a company is run by a large corporation with shareholders to answer to, then it ties your hands as to what you can do. Since everyone here thinks I am so anti-WWE, let me surprise you with a defense of them. If ANY of you had ever used this as an argument in defense of WWE, I would've agreed with you. However, you always talk crapabout WCW while ignoring the similiarities between WCW 99 and WWE of the last 10 years. Ever since Vince went public with the company and has shareholders to answer to, the product has been less edgy. Just like WCW went from edgy nWo storylines for 2 years, and then got stupid seemingly overnight in 98 once AOL merged with Warner. What were the glory years of WWF's Attitude Era? 97? 98? 99? When did Vince take the company public? Late 98 maybe? Ratings have gone in steady decline ever since. Why? Because Vince cannot put those controversial things out for the public anymore without catching heat for them from shareholders. Everything Vince accused WCW of being, Vince has become. He bashed Turner for being a big Entertainment Conglomerate, all the while, Vince was hoping to become the very same thing. Now he's a big large corporation, has to fire people just to cut money so he can please shareholders, and the product has been watered down to little kid mentality level to keep the shareholders happy. WWE has become WCW and it even has the ratings to prove it. |
