According to Bischoff's book, the lay down was supposed to lead to a big angle where Hogan left and a new champion was crowned in a tournament. After the tournament, Hogan would show up with the old belt and talk about how he was never beaten, and there'd be a match between the new champion and Hogan. It actually sounded like a decent idea, but Russo went against the entire plan and fucked everything up with his little shoot up there.
Then wCw died.
Why in the fuck would anybody want to try that again?
