I doubt it, because they went to the trouble of using Bret Hart as a referee earlier in the show, setting up what would be the first of many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, MANY angles to revisit the Montreal Screwjob. And of course, I'm sure Hogan had absolutely nothing to do with Nick Patrick's fast count not exactly being very fast. That finish would have worked if Patrick had actually made the fast count. Even if Patrick hadn't done whatever the hell, they still were getting way too cute for their own good. Nobody asked for Montreal to be revisited. Even when WCW was putting on their most hyped match ever, it was all about flipping the bird to Vince and playing with his old toys, and entertaining the WCW fans who bought PPVs and attended shows was secondary to that goal.

Yeah. Bret is my favorite wrestler ever and he shouldn have been brought in so much better based on how hot he was, but he had no business being involved with that match between Sting and Hogan. You described what happened perfectly. If you have to have the ref fast count you still have Sting kick out. In no way should they have given fans a visual of Sting being pinned under any circumstances. You have Patrick try to fast count Sting and Sting still kicks out. You have Patrick slow count Hogan until Sting had beaten him so badly he can't kick out and Patrick has no choice but to hit the mat that third time. Sting then scorpion death locks Patrick and takes the damn belt.

Every single idea floated about here is better than what actually happened. Unfortunately it seemed as if hulk got to book the thing to his liking so dispute looking like a chickenshit heel he still fairly beat sting and only lost by getting screwed. Awful
