9 Levels Of Bret Hart & Hulk Hogan's Heated Rivalry

9. Bret Feels Hogan Held His Career Up

During his career, Hulk Hogan held a large amount of backstage influence and power over booking decisions and roster acquisitions in WWE and WCW. Look no further than his arrival to WCW, when in addition to securing one of the most lucrative contracts ever, he acquired veto power over not only his, but everyone else's storylines, and subsequently became the unspoken booker of the promotion.

When Bret arrived to WCW, the no brainer match was the one WWE couldn't do...Bret Hart vs Hulk Hogan. With Hogan set to face Sting, it should have been the next feud on his plate. It was obvious to just about everyone, except the folks running WCW...Eric Bischoff and Hulk Hogan shom continually turned Bret Hart heel and face on a whim, and aligned him with Hogan and the NWO more times than not, so a program between the two could never be built.

Their long awaited clash happened on a random Nitro, where Bret faked an injury to lure Sting out to turn on him. Hardly the main event program at a major PPV that the match deserved.
