www.youtube.com/watch?v=gaOdHIUKLDgI didn't have PPV at the time and I certainly didn't have the internet, so when I got this tape from a friend I was shocked as hell, what were your initial impressions?

I remember watching an interview with Roddy where he talked about this. It was going to be a month earlier, but the internet got wind of it and Roddy cancelled on WcW. He wanted his surprise to really be a surprise.
Awesome.

I was there live sitting on the aisle side and the MGM Grand went absolutely nuts when Piper made his entrance and after the ppv went off the air, Piper and Hogan bantered for another 2 to 5 minutes probably.

I was shocked as hell, I got the tape from a friend the next day and couldn't wait to watch it.
"Oh, by the way Piper, when you go to the bathroom, you're supposed to squat in that one" Nice burn by the Hulkster there,lol.

I remember people started leaving a couple minutes before he came out. When his music hit it was quite a suprise. And he called The Giant "The Jolly Green Giant".  Were you in line when Ric Flair and Eric Bischoff arrived before the show? That was cool of them... |

Nah I wasn't there but my brother and I did follow Nick Patrick backstage for about a minute as Patrick was wearing his neck brace. |

I thought the PPV ending in the middle of a promo made it more real, as Bischoff pointed out on the Monday Night Wars DVD, people like things that are unpredictable and on the spur of the moment, does it always have to end with Face A staring down Heel B in the middle of the aisleway? Kinda too predictable for my tastes.
And I thought Hogan's expressions were right on, should he have acted as if he knew he was coming?

It's wrestling, it doesn't have to mimic real life or anything, and I've seen guys with their eyes bugged out whenever a match is announced or some other gesture that's over the top, no big deal really in the grand scheme of things. |

Well I for one didn't really care for Piper in WCW. Especially during that HH promo where he told Hogan that he was the only guy Hogan has never been able to beat. I remember yelling BS before Piper even finished that sentence. Both Warrior and Yoko immediately came to mind. Needless to say I never bought into that Hogan/Piper feud right frim the start.

Hogan and Piper were definetly neck and neck, Hogan and Warrior only had one match at that point, while Piper and Hogan wrestled tons of times, and it's true, Hogan never beat Piper, because Roddy knew once he did, that would've been the end

THISHASBEENTHEGREATESTPAYPERVIEWINTELIVIONHISTORYWEREOUTTATIMEGOODNIGHT!!! Watching "Born To Controversy" last week got me to thinking about when Hogan briefly won the title in WWE back in '02, how cool it could have been cool to have Piper challenge Hogan for the title, since their title match at The War To Settle The Score never ended conclusively. |
