Maybe Hogan wasn't *that* much of an asshole in WCW

"Mechanic asks The Cat who he would have liked to work with, when WCW was at his peak. The Cat replies that he would have liked to work with Hulk Hogan. He then releases a bombshell, stating that Hogan advocated to Eric Bischoff and the creative team for The Cat to defeat him for the world title. The Cat goes on to say that Hogan felt that The Cat had enough heat on him, that there was a program to be had in Hogan losing the title to him and then chasing him to get it back. The Cat also states that Mean Gene Okerlund was a fan of his character, noting that he seemed to be having a good time, and that characters like that have greater creative longevity."

I'll be damned. Him wanting new talent to get over? Ultimately for him, but even still..I wouldn't have minded seeing The Cat with the title. Then again, I'm a mark for Ernest!
