Something about the Bash of the Beach 2000 Incident you may not know

So, I have been reading Eric Bischoff's book. Great read, although I am a big fan of Bischoff. Not the wrestlng character, but the business man behind the scenes.

anyway, people always ask about Bash of the Beach 2000 on here and what happened between Hogan/Russo. well, I knew, as most of you know, of the part where Jarrett laid down and Hogan did that worked shoot and Russo did that unplanned shoot.

what I didn't know was that Eric Bischoff had planned for a tournament to be held after the Bash of the Beach. Hogan was suppossed to take the Title home with him. Then a new belt was to be created and they were going to do a tourney. Two heels were suppossed to be the final two and Hogan was going to show up of nowhere on the PPV and challenge the winner.

Russo had agreed to this beforehand with Bischoff and Brad Siegal.

So after Hogan cut the planned shoot at the Bash, he and Bischoff never stuck around because to them the PPV was over. they got right in thier limo and left the arena. They never got to hear Russo's shoot and didn't know about Booker winning until hours later. Booker's win killed the whole angle Bischoff had planned. Then Hogan sued the shit out of WCW

pretty interesting.
