15 Exact Moments WCW Booking Stopped Making Sense
9. Hulk Hogan Has Superhuman Vision
"That's The Wall, brother. It's The Wall!".
Hulk Hogan was fabulously dramatic on the 27 March 2000 edition of WCW flagship Nitro. He was in a right pickle about spotting The Wall overlooking the 'Spring Breakout' outdoor set housed at South Padre Island in Texas. Inside the ring, 'Mean' Gene Okerlund looked to the entrance for Wall, but couldn't see him. Neither, mind you, could any of the fans in attendance for the show.
Then, WCW's camera crew got on the case to show the heel standing atop a building in the background. What happened next should've won an award for accidental comedy genius. The cams zoomed out to show that The Wall was a tiny speck far off in the distance. There's absolutely no way anybody could've spotted him from that far away.
Apparently, Hogan had some red and yellow super-vision, dude. He could see Wall clear as day, but nobody else could. Maybe if the cameras hadn't zoomed out to reveal that he was practically in the next state, then things wouldn't have looked so illogical. Hulk's sell job and fear was too much considering that could've been literally anybody standing in a white shirt on top of the building bathed in spotlight.
Hell, even the spotlight was tiny. That's how far away The Wall was from Nitro's set. What was he gonna do? Catch a Shawn Michaels zip line (WrestleMania XII style) down to the ring and chokeslam Hulk? It was ludicrous. Fans fell silent as they tried to figure out what Hogan was babbling about, and Tony Schiavone noted that Wall was "15 storeys in the air" like that meant anything.
