Hogan/Kidman Question

[mysterydriver]

I was reading about how Russo was trying to help out the midcard talents but the major stars kept using "tricks" to make people look stupid.

One of the main examples is with Billy Kidman and Hulk Hogan. Kidman won the match, but in the end, from my understanding, Hogan still didn't put him over due to his actions.

So I was wondering, what did Hogan do? No Sell? I am just a little confused on the situation.

[MGH]

Unless I'm mistaken, after that match their feud continued and Hogan beat the holy crap out of Kidman in every segment, and in every match they had after it.

But seeing as I've only seen bits of pieces of that period, I could be off.

After searching around the internet, I found this at obsessedwithwrestling.com:

--Slamboree 2000: Hulk Hogan defeated Billy Kidman (Bischoff as referee) with help from Horace Hogan!

--Nitro (The Next Night): Eric Bischoff declared that Kidman was the winner, due to Horace's interference..

--Great American Bash 2000: Billy Kidman referees a Jeff Jarrett vs Hulk Hogan match, and refuses to cheat on Jarrett's behalf..

--Billy Kidman then joined forces with Hulk Hogan.

Is that it? Hogan "won" but it was credited to Kidman and then Kidman became a lackey? Is that the thing that Hogan is blamed for? Because that sounds like a "booker"'s suggestion to me. A certain one that enjoys "swerves."

Guess I was way off.

But yeah, during THAT era of WCW, you never know who's fault anything was. So many people in so many people's ears. And then Russo just being Russo. I saw a video comp. once. it was a 16 part video called something like "The Death of WCW". (Not related to the book). It really makes you shake your head at some of the crap they were doing.

HOLLYWOOD HULK HOGAN jobbed to Kidman in several impromtitue matches as well. But they didn't help Kidman. It just goes to show you that fans don't want to see HOLLYWOOD HULK HOGAN lose.

Anyway rather than accept the fact that HOLLYWOOD HULK HOGAN did those jobs and it didn't help get kidman over, critics continue to blaim HOLLYWOOD HULK HOGAN by making up any excuse they can. "Well he put him over, but he didn't put him over after that." Oh, Brother.

[T Vang is a HO-DADDY~!]

In a bunch of Nitro matches Hogan would beat the ever-loving shit out of Kidman then Kidman would roll-up Hogan, or Bisch would interfere....those results above are part of the story, but leave out some points.

*sniffs this guy's breath*

Hmm ... so that's what Hogan's junk smells like.

Dude, I know you're a fan, but "fans don't want to see Hogan lose" is about as asinine a comment as "John Cena is huggable."

Just my two cents; flame me all you want, but you're so far up Hogan's ass he has to push your head out of the way to brush his teeth.

Kidman on Hogan: "You say that Billy Kidman can't draw flies. Well, who would know more about drawing flies than a piece of s**t?"

What are you on and where can I get some, brother?


Anyway, the matches in question involved Hogan beating the crap out of Kidman, and then Kidman winning with some fluke out of nowhere that nobody bought. There's a probable chance that these were only done so Hogan could point at these and claim it made him a team player because he put other people over. Only, of course, nobody bought that Kidman had actually beat Hogan because he was steamrolled and then won with a rollup or due to interference.

Sounds like you just described Nash and Mysterio as well. Another feud that pisses me off.
