"This is like a dinosaur compared to the internet, brother!"
Good things come from Hogan. But they're very seldom to find.

That was dumb. Nothing like using PPV time to bury something that supposedly "doesn't bother you."

That little episode with him burning the observer just showed how paranoid and delusional the guy really is

Dude, I was there. I'm trying to find me in the audience, heh. We had NO idea what was going on because there was no audio, people just saw fire and cleared a section before they realized it was scripted.

I remember seeing this and not understanding what was going on, apart from the switch back to the red/yellow.
Of course now I get the internet references, so it makes more sense.

Funny, he didnt mention Meltzer by name. I remember watching this when it happened. I thought it was cheesy then and its even cheesier now. A lot of people didn't get it though. Meltzer and the Observer have always dogged Hogan, but what I thought was funny, was how he praised the internet, which would wind up being more brutal towards Hogan than even the Observer was. I also liked how he referred to the Observer as a "rag sheet"

I think it had something to do with the observer saying that Savages Arm was a mess and that WCW was going to change the ending of the battle royal (I think having the giant win). Of course, WCW being what they are, essentially changed the booking back to savage, injury and all, to accomodate someone else besdies the fans (See Ric Flair and Arn beating hogan)

I wonder if they had the nWo already in mind during this promo. I guess not, but lol in hindsight.

I don't know what's funnier, the bit with the observer or the weird "STING YOU'RE MY FRIEND!!!" bit

I think this promo went over most peoples heads, as only (read: smarks) read the Observer. The marks in the crowd and at home were probably like "What the hell is this guy talking about" I think that is probably the first and only time a dirt sheet was mentioned on either WWF or WCW TV

I remember Bischoff reading the results of Raw, but I dont ever remember him ever paying lip service to Meltzer, Apter, Keller, or any of those other dirt sheet writers
