7. What If Hulk Hogan Would Have Never Joined The nWo?
I can remember watching this play out live while I was at Bruce Prichards house. When the Hogan turn cameI knew that we, the WWE, were absolutely DEAD in the water. At that time WCW was everything cool about professional wrestling, and I give the majority of that credit to Eric Bischoff, Scott Hall and Kevin Nash. When the Outsiders made their jump to WCW, the !@#$% was on!!! Now, of course, it didnt help that the WWE was writing their WORST TV at the time, but nonetheless the combination of those two factors put the WWE in a very compromising situation. When Hogan turned? That was the final nail in the coffin for me. That gave WCW everything that it needed to finally slay the dragonthe WWE. Had Hulk Hogan not joined the nWo? In my opinion, no disrespect to Scott and Kevin, but the nWo just wouldnt have nearly had the impact it did. Remember up until that point Hulk had been a babyface his ENTIRE CAREER, this heel turned was DECADES in the making. Nothing else WCW could have done at the time would have provided that type of Impact.
