if this topics has already been covered sorry for asking for a repeat, but has a 100% answer come out as to whether russo was doing a work or a shoot on hogan at bash at the beach 2000? i remember seeing that and my jaw dropping before i laughed my ass off at someone finally exposing hogan for what he was. but i heard that it was both set up and a work so thought you guys might know. Considering hogan never wanting to look bad (ironic for being bald for 20 years , a spray on beard and a 2 wrestling move repetroire) and that he was never heard from again in WCW i would think it was a shoot, but would like to know any details? also anyone know where to get a good copy of that video?

The interview Russo did on Hogan after the match was a shoot but the match between Hogan and Jarrett was planned and went according to plan.

The whole thing was a shoot.

Hogan had been using his creative control card and trying to undermine Vince Russo's plan to have Jeff Jarrett win the World Title at Bash at the Beach, clean. However, Hogan did not want to drop the title, and the two were arguing over the matter up until the very night of the match. Russo eventually told Hogan that he could win his match. Hogan, being satisfied, didn't pursue the topic any more. Russo, however, planned for Hogan to win the match, but not in the way Hogan thought.

The match starts and Jarrett lays down immediately. Hogan is confused and calls out Russo on the mic. He steps on Jarrett's chest to end this charade, and the ref counts the three. Jarrett leaves the ring with tears in his eyes.

Another match was shown, and when we came back to the ring, Russo walked out to cut his interview. It was a complete and total shoot - releasing his frustrations with the company he was trying to rebuild, but was discovering how difficult that truly was. Hogan never wrestled in WCW again.
