Anybody remember this? I thought it was an uncanny valley moment, but here it is. Drew Carey hosted and well, hilarity ensued.

This is really why Drew Carey deserves his Hall of Fame spot. He was such a massive star at this point in the 90s and Award Shows were such big deals - Drew could have easily said no but decided to go along with it and really plant the seeds for mainstream recognition of the Hulk Hogan heel turn.
This was the first real crossover exposure WCW had at that time, the daily entertainment shows ate it and the new "bad guy" Hulkster up.

Didn't they do this again years later when Rodman was in the group? During the time they were building the Nash/Hogan internal nWo feuding. I swear, it might have been on Nitro, Nash & couple others took over the commentary table after a Hogan/Rodman/nWo (a couple members) video showing why Hogan & group were not there and Nash made it a point that "he was there (Nitro) taking care of business while others were off playing Hollywood" or something to that degree. I swear Hogan & group were at a awards show

Will never get over how much WCW broke into the mainstream like the above and yet they were out of business a couple years later.
