I still loved him during his WCW days. He was always entertaining even if he was half-assing it. After "whose side is he on?", my main memory of him in WCW was his tribute to Gorilla on Nitro after he died. Apparently he had to fight WCW to even let him say a few words on screen about his friend. I will go to my grave saying the "Who's side is he on?" line was perfectly on brand for his character. It was actually a brilliant line and ONLY in hindsight could it be considered a spoiler. I remember watching it live and not even considering Hogan turning and thought the line was funny. Granted, I wasn't really on the internet for wrestling at the time, so I had no insider knowledge at the time. Hell it would be have been more out of place if Heenan went... "HERE COMES HOGAN! WE'RE SAVED!" Granted if Heenan knew what the plan was he might not have said anything... or a here he comes to hog the glory! But yeah no one thought Heenan spoiled anything at the time.
