Hulk Hogan was the cause of - and solution to - WCW's problems: a glowing orange paradox who elevated business to an enormous extent before his bullsh*t was indulged by a multifariously incompetent management structure.

Hogan had the contracted sway to do what Hulk Hogan wanted to do, and at Uncensored 1996, Hulk Hogan wanted to beat eight heels with just one man standing by his side. In a three-tiered cage match. It's just as well he had already made it as clear as his conscience somehow is that Ric Flair was B plus, because Ric Flair in this match was a wee goomba. Hogan and Savage jumped on these tiny dots - the other of which was Arn Anderson, Jesus Christ - before tackling the real baddies: two actors with zero ability to wrestle professionally. One of whom was originally named after the nazi plan to exterminate the worldwide jewish population.

Faced with the end of Hulkamania - the contrarian reaction Hogan typically received had never dimmed, and intensified throughout this dreck - Hogan bargained with one last idea that diagnosed his narcissism better than any psychiatrist ever could.
