Hogan vs Jarrett (the match)
Russo's Shoot On Hogan Hulk Hogan and Vince Russo were having problems together, Russo was always trying to write off Hogan giving him storylines trying to kill him off, first Hogan agreed to lay down for Sting at Halloween havoc 99, where Russo then said that he would bring Hogan back better than ever. Well Hogan was begged to come back by Eric Bischoff several months later. When Russo took back over the company in 2000, he had Hogan job to kidman, and was basically trying to write him off week after week with storylines that involved Hogan getting beat up and sent to the hospital. Finally after several months of this Hogan had decided to use his creative control right (which he has in his WCW contract which gives him 100% control over his character). So after beating kidman for a shot at the title, the next night on Nitro we saw Goldberg spear hogan and "injure him" for the next 3 weeks Hogan was not seen on tv until his title shot at Bash at the Beach. Russo and Hogan met several times during that week disagreeing with each other's idea. Until finally, Russo told hogan he'd have Jarrett lay down for him at Bash at the beach and the next night on Nitro start a tournament where the winner would face Hogan at the following pay per view, which would determine the real "champion" having Hogan defeat the tourney winner for his final match and send off. Hogan and Russo finally agreed upon this together. So it was set in stone that this would happen. So after Jarrett laid down for Hogan, Hogan left kinda disappointed in himself for what he did. Russo then came out and bashed Hogan calling him racist, saying he held down talent etc... Hulk Hogan sued WCW and Vince Russo that same year, quite frankly Hogan only won money that was already coming to him. So nothing was quite solved except for a damaged reputation. Hogan apologized to Booker T telling him he didn't hold him down, but Booker T held himself down instead. This was Hulk Hogan's last WCW appearance.. Enjoy |
