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

If they wanted Hogan out they should have just fired him. No need to drag the company down in front of the audience with the "shoots" or "worked shoots" or whatever. If they couldn't fire him pay him to sit home if you don't wanna book him, but anything would have been better than these bitchfests every other week.

But that was part of Russo's booking style at the time. If you remember the Halloween Havoc incident between Sting and Hogan, it was pretty much the exact same thing as BATB 00, and once again, it didn't lead to anything interesting or even storyline important. They just wrote the whole thing off the next night on Nitro, with the idea being that "everyone reads this shit on the internet, so they know what's going on, so we don't HAVE to talk about it."

That's why Steiner got to do all those shoot interviews and instead of being punished, he got World Titles out of it.

Fucking Russo.
