Question For KayfabeMan (or anybody else who can answer it)

Ok, I figure KayfabeMan will be the only person who could answer this question in detail but I could be wrong but anway, I was wondering; What was the deal with Hogan laying down for Sting at Halloween Havoc '99?? I had never seen it before until today when I saw it at a friend's house. He seems to think it was a work but in my opinion it had shoot written all over it and less than a year later at Bash At The Beach the whole Russo/Hogan/Jarrett lay down/shoot took place. So any idea on what REALLY happened that night?

It was a work. If it is in front of the camera it is a work.

Yeah I checked there as I am a loyal Crapper. I think it was about 2 or 3 weeks ago there was something about it in one of the inductions or RD's mailbag. But I don't remember.

Sorry,I didn't catch this until just now - been EXTREMELY busy.

Here is the situation,as best as I know and/or can describe it all.

This was a mock shoot angle (set up by Russo) that went absolutely
nowhere at all. Hogan "walked out" on a Nitro,and wasn't seen for a
while. What the wrestling media/public was "leaked" about the incid-
ent was that Hogan was unhappy about the match with Sting,and in
effect,did not want to job to him.

They made it seem like Hogan would either shoot or no-show. When
the incident occured,it basically left everyone confused,because 1/2
the people never got any of the "leaked" information, and the people
who did couldn't understand it.As a booker,I think that Russo wanted
to try to make it look like Hulk was in effect doing a "You want your
belt/the win? There it is...." type of thing (almost like what Jarrett &
he pulled on Hogan sometime later).

It was basically a big waste of time,and was never mentioned again.
