This was a cool run for Hogan. i actually like the Millionare's club vs, new blood gimmick for its short run. "Hollywood" returned if I'm not mistaken, at Bash at the Beach, where Russo berated Hogan. So does Russo hate Hogan that much? Did they ever clear the air? I actually remember the Nitro it first happened. Horace had turned on him, so they booked a match, but Hogan kept saying "Hulk Hogan is never going to face Horace." Lo and behold, Horace enters, no Hogan...and then the nWo theme plays. |

Say what you want about the ethics of Russo's shoot, but as a WCW fan who had to put up with Hogan's BS for so long, that was a mother smurfing cathartic moment. Even more so because we got Booker T. as the world champion an hour later. I think that was planned all along as the Hogan/Jarrett match took place earlier in the night, and they needed a main event to close the show. It's not like the fans were cheering on Russo either as I heard boos as he was doing his little worked shoot. |

I remember seeing this live, and even as a teenager I thought it was re-goddamned-tarded.

I watched WCW in this era but I can't remember this for the life of me either. :-\

Russo pretty much killed one of the best ideas Hogan and Bischof had for a long time. I wouldn't blame either man if they beat the crap out of Russo on sight

ah, Good Old Stone Cold Terry Bollea, and his "FUNB" shirt.... LOL. I vaguely, vaguely remember all that and that FUNB stuff used to bug the hell out of me. What does that mean and why do all your clothes say that on them?! Also, I want to see a Hogan powerbomb because I do not believe whoever said that. |

FUNB? **** You New Blood? Yup. Meanwhile, at the same time, the Misfits in Action (Van Hammer, Lash LeRoux, Hugh Morrus, Chavo Guerrero, The Wall, and Booker T) were wearing "FUBAR" shirts, or "**** You Bischoff And Russo", which pretty much looked the same as Hogan's FUNB gear. |

Ugh. Now there's a stable that wore me completely out. Take Booker, Chavo and Hugh Morrus out of there and you have absolutely nothing. Scale that back again for skills and I'd say that Lash was the only one that was actually a decent wrestler. You'll notice you've not seen any The Wall introductory vignettes in the WWE. Also, I hated the G.I. Bro moniker so very much. That is all. |

The MIA was such a stupid idea. Though I did laugh at the name 'Private Stash'. |

I had totally forgotten. I'm sorry, Mr. The Wall. You sucked balls but I should've at least remembered your passing. |

You sucked balls but I should've at least remembered your passing. I didn't think the Wall was that bad, he got fairly over in WCW, even kicking out of Hogan's big legdrop. To each his own I suppose. |

Since it hasn't been said yet, and since any discussion revolving around the final years of WCW merits it, I'll just say it again...no matter how old or cliche it is, it's still true:
Vince Russo is an idiot.

This was the timeframe when his "goal in life is to powerbomb you through a table, Billy Kidman."

This is somewhat related. I just saw footage from that New Blood vs Billionaires Club battle royal on Thunder. The one that featured the shocking returns of Randy Savage and Bret Hart. Savage never came back, I'm not sure if Bret did either. Interesting booking strategies there.

I thought this thread was going to be about the character he plays on Hogan Knows Best
