Hogan has main evented about 80% of the PPV's in the last year or so. The exceptions are battle royales etc. The NWO was great, Nash and Hall gatecrashing Nitro. Then Hogan decides to barge in and wreck what could have been a great angle. Now he makes Hall and Nash look like idiots by coming out every week, saying, 'I'm the man', while Hall and Nash should be running the show. Now we're seeing Hogan working up to another Starrcade against Bret Hart, which, unless something changes damn quick, is going to be terrible, not just for smarts, but for marks as well. Almost 1 year ago, Sting came down to start his Starrrcade campaign. He got a huge reaction even then. How is Bret Hart doing in comparison? He can't wrestle. No matter what, he is not going to put on a good show Of all the 'big stars' who could main event, Savage, Sting, Flair, Hart, Hall and Nash, they are ALL capable of putting on a good match. But Hogan can't. He never could. He got where he is because of Hulkamania and a monster push. Flair got where he is with talent and nearly 40 years of slaving for wrestling, only to be getting screwed by Bischoff now. He gets the World Title. Other wrestlers might get a crappy belt for two weeks/a month if their contracts are up and that makes them happy. Hogan gets the big one, the World Title (which he will get again soon I have no doubt, before the Hart vs Hogan starts warming up) for about a damn year and a half, if we don't count the one day reign of Luger. What does he do to deserve it? Hogan gets more money than ANYONE else, and a 'veto' contract. He used to wrestle once in a blue moon, and now Eric Bischoff is destroying his PPV's with a glut of PPV main events on Thunder and Nitro (DDP vs Sting, Sting and Luger vs Savage and Hogan, Hogan vs Savage) he is ruining the buildup for PPV's. We've seen Sting vs Savage in a whole bag of nitro main events, who's going to care about seeing him on PPV? But, silly me, Hogan has taken the main event in a bat match which only the Giant jobbing, Nash's antics and Piper's charisma can save.
