4. Lost In Hollywood

24 hours before 'Mania 36, Kevin Nash, Scott Hall, Sean Waltman and Hollywood Hogan will be inducted into WWE's Hall Of Fame as the nWo. It's a huge moment for them, and it validates WCW's legacy as historic. On Friday night, Nash, Hall and Waltman stopped by to talk about how much that HOF ceremony means.

Except they didn't, and Hogan wasn't even there.

Having three quarters of the faction in Tampa wasn't enough. Was Hulk too busy restocking his Beach Shop? Could WWE not be bothered to fly him in? Christ, there are so many annoying questions to ask about this show already; this came across as lazy, and the nWo's special appearance felt incomplete without Hollywood.

Alexa Bliss also barely asked the lads how they were feeling about the honour before Sami Zayn and pals invaded the segment. She and her guests traded some stilted banter and then moved on. Some might disagree, but this needed more Hogan.
