All you need to do is look at what they did after that match; Michaels's retirement gave way to an agent role in developmental where lots of people credit him as being a good teacher. Sure, there's a story or two about him being kind of a dick still, but he is still one of the greatest talents of his generation giving helping a new generation grow. Hogan went off to turn a promising promotion into the Hulk Hogan And Friends variety hour and helped obliterate its reputation and solvency. Embarrassing Hulk Hogan is never bad. It is only ever good.

Someone finally taking the piss out of Hulk Hogan that broadly and to his face after pulling the bollocks he pulled was IMO absolutely fine, deserved and very, very funny. If someone had done it in 1998 WCW would still be on the air because he'd be too busy crying in the shower to shit everything up. What did Hogan really do as far politics goes? I remember a quote Bobby Heenan that went something like, "the people who had a problem with Hogan were the ones who didn't draw money with him". Sabotaging Starrcade '97 because he didn't want to do a clean job was kind of his low point politically. But also refusing to put Bret Hart over on his way out of the WWF, completely destroying Vader within weeks of turning up in WCW and trashing years of booking, the way he used to take himself off TV when Nitro was competing with something else and then bring himself back when it wasn't so he could take credit for the ratings bump, all sorts of things.

I remember a quote Bobby Heenan that went something like, "the people who had a problem with Hogan were the ones who didn't draw money with him". Watch WCW's main event scene, from Hulk's arrival to his departure under Russo then you'll know. Watch him beat Ric Flair from pillar to post for half a decade, only ever giving him a win in the most insanely convoluted manners, refuse to lay down for guys like Sting when the company has spent two years booking angles where that is the only acceptable outcome. Watch him win the WCW title from Luger in less than a week after his big moment, something he never recovers from. It's one thing after another with the company booked to send Hogan home happy, with things so bad he had the power of veto over feuds that didn't involve him, Bret and Goldberg needed to get Hogan to greenlight spots in their feuds. Feuds with Hogan stopped drawing because fans were burned over and over and over because of him, so no wonder the people he didn't draw with were pissed at him.
