4. The Huckster And The Nacho Man
Hulk Hogan joined WCW in 1994 after they offered him a ridiculous amount of money, creative control and the freedom to do anything he damned well pleased. Macho Man followed him soon after on a similar, if not so glamorous deal. You can't blame the pair for doing so. Everyone in every walk of life wants to make as much money as they can. Losing his biggest stars to his greatest rival didn't sit too well with Vince McMahon, so he created Billionaire Ted's (Turner) Wrestling War Room. Hogan, Savage and even Mean Gene Okerlund were depicted as old, washed up has-beens, with The Nacho Man and Huckster even participating in a Geriatric Match at WrestleMania XII in one of the skits. An over and back handed reaction by McMahon to two men who just wanted to make more money. If Vince didn't want them to go, all he had to do was break his bank account... There's no doubting Vinne laughed at the skits, I'm almost certain he was the only one to do so...
