    Yeah, I had pieced it together a couple of days before, but still wasn't 100% on it cause he's Hulk. They were running all those vignettes. When Mean Gene was like, I got the inside scoop, the voice was muffled... call me at whatever # it was, it clicked for some reason

    The GOAT heel turn in all of professional wrestling nothing will top it.

    WWE had many chances to turn Cena heel and didn't do it at this point, Idc to even see a heel John Cena at this point in WWE being that he's close to the twilight of his career.

    The GOAT heel turn by one of the Top 5 or 10 (depending on how you look at him) ever in wrestling history. Love him or hate him.

    So ? dope. The tears from some of the kids at school that fall were legendary. So were all the "brawls" we would have on the football field and hallways between "NWO" and the WCW fans. Then it got crazier in high school when peeps started to rep either black and white or wolf pack and ? . Good times.

    We got to thank Scott Hall for that. He talked Hulk into it the most.

    Bischoff said Hogan was so against turning away from the good guy gimmick that made his career. The only two people who knew Hogan was going to be the third man was Bischoff and Kevin Sullivan. Nash and Hall wasnt sure who it was going to be until The Bash.

    If I can remember I think someone saying that he was getting stale as being a face, so he needed a change. Good thing he did because it became the biggest heel turn in wrestling history

    ? had me in shock for months. Legendary move by hulk and WCW. If they would've handled the booking better and let the lesser stars shine, WCW might very ended wwf instead, but you got ? like Nash doing the booking showing favoritism and ? killed WCW internally

    That was college for me...we had factions and staged wrestling matches in the dorm lobby. One time the police showed up because they thought we were having a brawl and woke up the dorm manager. Dude ripped us a new one at 2am...lol..

    We just moved down to the basement. Haha

    It was. By 95 you could tell the fans were sick of him always winning all the time when he absolutely shouldn't have. He was getting that Cena mixed crowd reaction. Some crowds were booing him more than cheering.
