oh 6.5 was the avg i remember this stuff when i was in highschool man it was so great, man this was the heyday of the 80's in the late 90's. Hogan was a pimp man but WCW at that time had so many pimps that just made it great, i miss those days
@KTMRanger0305 WCW never averaged 6.5, ever. the WWF did at one point in 99 and 00, along with shows that received ratings in the 7's and 8's, but WCW peaked in the high 4's, got a couple 5's and 6's, but never averaged it.
he wasnt the only one that was getting overpaid sabin, thats why wcw died was the guarenteed contracts and money. The NWO was the greatest wrestling angle of all time, it makes DX look like an event at a carnival circus. Hollywood Hogan is and will forever be the first name someone thinks of when they say professional wrestling
Its not guaranteed contracts that was the problem. Theres nothing wrong with promising a wrestler a certain amount of money for a certain amount a years. If anything I think most wrestlers would appreciate that considering wrestling is such an adhoc, unpredictable business where you give so much of yourself and get nothing in return. The problem was with the size of the contracts. WCW and Bischoff were just throwing million dollar contracts around like candy.

those fans should've been chanting "Same Old Shit". That nWo angle should've ended when Sting got the belt at Starrcade because it got stale afterwards.
nah, it didn't get stale. it remained strong all the way to goldberg. just after that when the fingerpoke of doom happened then people started to see that it wouldn't go anywhere really from there.
i agree, i think the whole red vs white nwo war was awesome even when warrior got involved it was cool but it was the fingerpoke of doom crap that killed the nwo cause the fans realised it wasnt going anywhere else and the nwo silver just couldnt get off the ground!!
tony schiavone is absolutely the most hilarious commentator of all time! I really do miss him, being the ultimate face commentator. It was great TV. NWO for life! Hogan is the man!
hogan did more for the wrestling business than flair ever did, hogan was more influential and half of flairs title reigns were a joke, if you read the fine red print on the back of hollywoods shirt, it says I AM THE MAN
Except pro wrestling is an entertainment industry, and not a real athletic competition. What Hogan has done for the industry far surpasses 16 World Titles.
