10 Precise Moments When WCW Careers Ended

2. Hulk Hogan

How dare Vampiro walk past Hulk Hogan without acknowledging him. How very dare he! Seriously though, how's this for a random final showing on WCW telly for the Hulkster? He'd just been part of a woefully mishandled shoot-style situation with Vince Russo and Jeff Jarrett before this brief moment was shown.

Hulk's last seconds on WCW telly came at Bash At The Beach 2000. The legend had literally just become WCW World Champion, or so fans thought, before he was seen strolling by Vamp in the corridors. Hogan didn't even have the belt on him, and the announcers barely mentioned he was there.

That's so WCW it hurts.

Fallout from the angle with Russo would blow up the wrestling world for a spell. Hulk was angered by Vince's disparaging comments in a promo later on the pay-per-view, and he'd take the situation to court. Hogan's last WCW appearance was...walking past Vampiro. No-one could've predicted that!
