[@onewarriornation602]

Of course what's conveniently left out of the whole story is every week Russo kept booking Hogan to job to some midcarders and Hogan played along, putting over Kidman and Mike Awesome. The whole reason this happened was because Hogan was told he was going to go over Jarrett and put over Booker T only for the match to be changed to Hogan is yet again jobbing. Hogan told Vince Russo he wanted a layout of what he would be doing the next two months, who he would be feuding with and the results of each match as he felt Russo was trying to bury him. Russo refused, Hogan pulled creative control and said he isn't putting Jarrett over until he has in writing the future plans for his character and career. This clusterfuck was the result. Hogan was justified but hey, the same 🤡's trashing him over it will be on a Stone Cold video the next day blowing Austin who refused to put anyone not bed The Rock over, including refusing to even work a match with Jarrett.

[@WorldWrestlingFoundation]

Hogan is actually working here. His creative control isn’t what made the decision for the Jarrett scenario and it was planned. Russo had had hogan jobbing his entire time being there (even to Kidman, Vampiro, Horace and Mike awesome) and wanted him to Job to Jarrett too and then leave. That’s it. Nothing for you. Russo hated hogan and this would be the second time in 9 months he wrong hogan off tv. Bischoff thought hogan should win, Russo disagreed. So, they went to their boss who was the tie breaker. The boss, Brad Seagle, agreed with Bischoff, So Bischoff and Russo worked out a deal where Jarrett lays down and hogan leaves with the belt and quits. They start a long time to tournament to crown a new champion and at the end of the tournament hogan returns for a “who’s the real champ” angle. Part of the angle is Bischoff leaving with Hogan. Now after this Russo comes out, calls hogan a POS who refuses to do the job. That wasn’t suppose to happen. Hogan then filed a lawsuit (these details were available in the lawsuit, and straight from Bischoff. Hogan didn’t mind jobbing to jarret but he wasn’t gonna be written off tv again without it leading to something. All the time Russo had put him off tv already (4 of the last 9 months) plus now wants to put him off again indefinitely violated hogans contract in itself

Ok but on what planet would jeff jarrett beat hulk hogan? Jarrett has always been whack.

[@RedfishCarolina]

Listen I'm no Hogan fan boy but Jeff Jarrett beating Hogan would have been worse for the business than this. Creative control or not, Hogan needed to win this.

[@genarogilormino2139]

Hogan-" what I'm trying to say ,brother, 😂 is that my gigantic ego wasnt going to allow me to put over Double J and Booker 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@johnmahi]

every wrestler knows that Hulk Hogan created the wrestling business the way the owners wanted it and they stupidly gave control to a character bigger than the business itself and wonder why he used it? get real anyone in this position would do the same.

[@niladrighosh3269]

Hogan was sent by vince to kill wcw from inside

[@The_Sage_of_Six_Paths]

That narrative is destroyed by the fact that WCW was dominating for years with Hogan on top

[@playa1877]

Russo more than Hogan, Russo worked for WWF before WCW first and his so called "creativity" killed Owen Hart....Russo then preceded to kill everything he touched...and then later i learned from New Jack that Vince was also a board member for WCW then entire time!!! Which made it that much easier for him to buy them out once they failed

@@playa1877 😂 damn people pay good money to laugh as hard as you just made me.

Those were the dark ages of WCW

[@michaelcarrig627]

People blame Russo (and he did do some stupid shit), but he was trying to save a sinking ship.

[@MrJjburgess11]

His ideas were garbage tho. Making Jerrett a top guy wasn't gonna pull any ratings.

[@michaelcarrig627]

@@MrJjburgess11 for sure. He is an idiot. But he euthanized WCW.

[@lamonjefferson541]

Shit like this killed my favorite, WCW...😢

[@kmacadaeg7]

Hogan was like a plague in the late 90’s

[@mitsuyoshitada1887]

The bad thing about this is that Jeff Jarrett refused to lose the Vampiro championship because he said he wasn't even at his level and now I see that this happened nonono VAMPIRO ERES EL MEJOR 🇲🇽

WHATCHA GONNA DOOOO WHEN MY CREATIVE CONTROL RUNS WILD ON YOUUUU!

[@RENTFREETOUR]

THAT'S NOT GONNA WORK FOR ME BROTHER

[@AB75019]

"Creative control": "That's gonna work for me brother"

[@slimshead8100]

“I think we’re deviating from the script”. I’ll never forget watching that episode. I knew WCW was down the drain (to say the least), but this was indescribably pitiful. WCW going down was one of the worst things that happened, because the Monday night wars kept each organization on their toes. I miss the days when they were both vying for number one ratings. I still watched wrestling up until 2009. I started disliking it in 2007, but I held on until 2009 when I just couldn’t take it anymore

[@IIIIthruXII]

creative control really means i want that toy its mine mine mine so there u go hogan

[@WrestlingSmarks]

I love that he’s finally at least admitting that he used his creative control that Night. Bischoff spent years trying to say that he didn’t.
