All due respect to Sting, it wouldnt have worked. Its not a knock on Sting at all. The third guy had to be a WWF guy, no one else. Hogan was the poster boy of what the WWF was. Sting was all WCW. He needed to be their rival
Correct for all the reasons you stated. Sting was the perfect antithesis to the nWo, which is why when he joined the wolfpac it messed up the whole thing.
@anthonyanderson9303 Honestly, the Wolfpac was working and could've worked well. Hogan and Bischoff hated it because they were making Hogan's NWO look bad, so Hogan cried his way into the wolfpac backstage, thus giving us the fingerpoke of doom, killing the Wolfpac, Hollywood NWO, and Goldbergs mystique in one night. Everything done in 1998 was rendered useless in that one night. Then we had Hogan wearing JNCOs talking gangster "My trigger finger, Brother!" It was cringe and sent most of us to the wwf for good.
I don't think it would have worked with anyone else .. it has to be Hogan or bust. Glad Hogan decided to turn but I'll admit after like a year or 2 nwo started to get blan when more people started to join
Basically bischoff needed a faction to take WCW in a whole new direction The first metting where Scott hall made the suggestion about Hogan turning heal He had been a good guy for over 20 years a sudden radical change like what they were proposing had never been done before The nwo is still being talked about and is on social media 30 years later
@@alanguagesYep! I was 11 years old when that happened and my friend called me to let me know that Hogan turned! So I turned it to WCW because at the time I rarely watched WCW and was hooked from that day until about early 1999

According to Bischoff in his book “Controversy Creates Cash” even he didn’t know Hogan was going to do it until he showed up that day. But honestly, having Sting turn heel would’ve been bigger.

Also if Hogan isn’t in the nWo, what is he doing? Still a babyface when fans don’t want him to be fighting the nWo, which is now just another heel group for Hogan to beat
Hogan waited to see whether the NWO would be profitable or not before deciding to jump in. It was not because he was concerned about his legacy or the kids or whatever else
Not true at all, it's been well documented from every single person involved(Not just Hogan) that he didn't wanna do it and had to be convinced up until a few days before it happened, just because you(person who wasn't there)wanna believe a narrative doesn't make it true
Yea, I guess I think it’s odd they’ve never gone in to more detail about it. When Eric & Hulk talk about it, it’s always just “if it wasn’t going to be Hulk, it would be Sting.” I wish someone would ask what the actual plan would have been.@@TheRuns2
They had Jeff Farmer back there just in case I decided to stay a babyface, dude. I was going to come out and drop the leg on the fake Sting and crucify those jabronis Hall & Nash, and solidify myself as The Rock of WCW. Before Dwayne did it in WWE, it was going to be Hulk Hogan The Rock says I just laid the smack down on your candy ass, dude. And Razor Ramon, Diesel, it doesn't matter what there names are in WCW as the millions and millions of Hulks fans all chant his name "Terry Terry" if you smell what Im cooking brother.
The alternate plan from Bischoff was to send Luger back out to make a comeback, and then Sting turns on him to join the nWo. But they didn’t have to discuss anything. Hogan was already good with the turn before the show started. Bischoff just wanted to make sure he didn’t get cold feet and no-show lol.
That’s what gets me about Bischoff. Possibly the most overrated person all time in wrestling. He literally had a good idea with the NWO & 2 years later they were out of business. He has LITERALLY failed at EVERYTHING else. ONE good idea.@@claytron3000

@@jasonberg6550 Bret sells himself, absolutely. Hogan repeatedly lies in ways that are easily disputed by dozens of other people and including his own stuff sometimes (so either he's lying now, or he was lying then.)
I always wondered what Sting being the 3rd man would’ve looked like. Making it look like he jumped ship to the WWF would’ve gotten Sting a ton of heat especially if he had cut promos saying he was done being the franchise of WCW. Don’t get me wrong, turning heel was awesome for Hogan at the time, but Sting joining the nWo with his dark crow look would’ve been a perfect fit.
@@bixbycro at the time he was starting to transition to the phantom of the opera look in between that and the crow gimmick.

@@5150crazyfun- Sting didn't go dark until the nWo started taking off. Kevin Nash's line: "oh look, here come the clowns" killed Sting and Luger's colourful face paint.
For what it's worth, Nash has talked about this as well, and what he's said is pretty much in line with what Hogan's saying here - Hogan was hesitant, Sting was discussed as an option, and finally Hogan agreed at almost the eleventh hour.
Not what Eric said. Eric said he asked Hogan and he said "you wouldn't understand until you walked a mile in my red and yellow boots". Then Eric said he wasn't sure Hogan was going to do it.
@@MR-RED428 yes and also like Hogan said Sting didn't have that WWF History behind him. Like Sting was beloved yes but he was no Hulkamania Draw and his Heel Turn wouldn't have been as shocking and favorable as Hogan's.
I was 11 years old when that happened and Hogan was the perfect choice, because he was a WWF guy and Sting would not have made sense just like he stated
It was just another way for him to not take accountability for whether or not the angle succeeded. If he didn't turn but Sting did and it flopped, he could blame the fans. If he turned and it flopped, he could blame the fans. I like that things are more transparent than they were back then, but learning this about what happened that night really tarnishes it a bit. Given, I don't know how many were actually shocked when Hogan turned (he did the classic "hero coming to help, oh no he's really helping the bad guys!" swerve that's been used time and time again in the business), but it was sold soooo well by the announce team that it elevated it to the iconic moment it became. Heenan was definitely the MVP there.
And this WAS Confirmed By Kevin Nash that He and Hall were NOT sure Hogan actually Confirmed (that's why if you look back,you can see Nash's Concern at Bash at The Beach. You could SEE his "Wheels Turning "in his head" so....Terry isn't necessarily Lying on this part
Like Luger and Sting in the nWo Wolfpack in 98 when Luger and Sting took turns patting each other on the ass in their entrances with big smiles on their faces.
Bishoff has said that Brett Hart was also an option for the third man but Brett backed out of negotiations at the last minute and went back to WWF. Only to get Montreal Screwjobbed less than a year later.
This guy obviously doesn't do his homework, for him to say only WCW had people go crazy. Well he should go back to 1997 where WWF had a huge riot who Shawn Michaels started.
Hogan: "The best wrestler is the one who makes most money" What happened to "Truth, Justice and the Hulk Hogan way"...? This must be Heel Hogan talking...
I never understood this story .. we were gonna send Sting ? Or Sting was gonna be the guy and nobody knew if Hogan was coming … the match was literally going on .. how would Hall and Nash know what to do if Hogan didn’t come ?

Another hogan lie....telling mean gene to get out the ring due to blood coming down his face....there was no blood and he finished the interview and left on his own after without a word from hogan
I think Sting would’ve been fine as the third man. What wouldn’t have been fine was whoever fills the actual role Sting was in as that anti hero. Very few could’ve had the impact as the good guy vs the NWO with how over and popular the NWO was. I mean any time the NWO was out there taking over and beating up WCW wrestlers the crowd every time was chanting we want sting we want sting. He was every bit the draw and maybe more than the NWO. I was 18 and I was in 7th heaven every time he made an appearance it was like a drug to me. He was clouded in mystery and wonder. It was like time stood still when he showed up. Hogan was amazing but Stings apposition to the NWO made the whole story legendary till wcw effed up the 97 starcade main event.
[GO]: Hulk Hogan, excuse me. Excuse me! What in the world are you thinking?" [HH]: Mean Gene, the first thing you need to do is to tell these people to shut up if you wanna' hear what I've got to say. [GO]: I have been with you for so many years; for you to join up with the likes of these two men absolutely makes me sick to my stomach. And I think that these people here and a lot of other people around the world have had just about enough of this man and this man and you want to put yourself in this group? You've got to be kidding me. [HH]: Well, the first thing you gotta' realize, brother, is this right here is the future of wrestling. You can call this the New World Order of Wrestling, brother. These two men right here came from a great big organization up north and everybody was wondering who the third man was. Well, who knows more about that organization than me, brother? [GO]: I've been there, I've done that. You have made the wrong decision in my opinion. [HH]: Well, let me tell you something. I made that organization a monster. I made people rich up there. I made the people that ran that organization rich up there, brother. And when it all came to pass, the name Hulk Hogan, the man Hulk Hogan, got bigger than the whole organization, brother. And then, Billionaire Ted, amigo; he wanted to talk turkey with Hulk Hogan. Well, Billionaire Ted promised me movies, brother. Billionaire Ted promised me millions of dollars. And Billionaire Ted promised me world-caliber matches. And as far as Billionaire Ted goes, Eric Bischoff, and the whole WCW goes, I'm bored brother. That's why these two guys here, the so-called Outsiders, these are the men I want as my friends. They are the new blood of professional wrestling, brother. And not only are we going to take over the whole wrestling business with Hulk Hogan and the new blood, the monsters with me, we will destroy everything in our path, Mean Gene. [Fans pelt the ring with garbage] [GO]: Look at all of this crap in this ring. This is what's in the future for you if you want to hang around the likes of this man Hall and this man Nash. [HH]: As far as I'm concerned, all of this crap in the ring represents these fans out here. For two years, brother, for two years I held my head high. I did everything for the charities. I did everything for the kids. And the reception I got when I came out here - you fans can stick it, brother. Because if it wasn't for Hulk Hogan you people wouldn't be here. If it wasn't for Hulk Hogan, Eric Bischoff would be still selling meat from a truck in Minneapolis. And if it wasn't for Hulk Hogan, all these Johnny Come Lately's that you see out here wrestling wouldn't be here. I was selling out the world, brother, while they were pumping gas to put in their car to get to high school. So the way it is now, brother, with Hulk Hogan and the New World Organization of Wrestling, brother, me and the new blood by my side, whatcha gonna do when the New World Organization runs wild on you? Whatcha gonna do? What are you gonna do? GO: Hey, don't touch me, I got a fleet of lawyers. Tony, Bobby, Dusty, dammit, let's get back to you. [TS]: All right, we have seen the end of Hulkamania. For Bobby "The Brain" Heenan, for Dusty Rhodes, Gene Okerlund. I'm Tony Schiavone. Hulk Hogan, you can go to hell. We're outta here. Straight to hell. Courtesy Of Genius.com😢
If sting turned heal it won't work because who would have been your face when no one else was over and especially over sting at that time fram as a face and fans never accepted sting as heel
They're the ones who bring ya to the beach. Maybe one of the other wreslers gets you to stay at the beach. For me, it was Randy Savage that got my attention, but the cruiserweights and guys like Bret Hart and Shawn Michaels kept me glued to the television. I was hooked from there.
The host needs to invest into a better studio…it looks like this is being done is somebody’s break room. I keep expecting someone to walk-in to heat up their hot pocket

I think Sting would’ve been fine as the third man. What wouldn’t have been fine was whoever fills the actual role Sting was in as that anti hero. Very few could’ve had the impact as the good guy vs the NWO with how over and popular
the NWO was. I mean any time the NWO was out there taking over and beating up WCW wrestlers the crowd every time was chanting we want sting we want sting. He was every bit the draw and maybe more than the NWO. I was 18 and I was in 7th heaven every time he made an appearance it was like a drug to me. He was clouded in mystery and wonder. It was like time stood still when he showed up. Hogan was amazing but Stings apposition to the NWO made the whole story legendary till wcw effed up the 97 starcade main event.
[GO]: Hulk Hogan, excuse me. Excuse me! What in the world are you thinking?"
[HH]: Mean Gene, the first thing you need to do is to tell these people to shut up if you wanna' hear what I've got to say.
[GO]: I have been with you for so many years; for you to join up with the likes of these two men absolutely makes me sick to my stomach. And I think that these people here and a lot of other people around the world have had just about enough of this man and this man and you want to put yourself in this group? You've got to be kidding me.
[HH]: Well, the first thing you gotta' realize, brother, is this right here is the future of wrestling. You can call this the New World Order of Wrestling, brother. These two men right here came from a great big organization up north and everybody was wondering who the third man was. Well, who knows more about that organization than me, brother?
[GO]: I've been there, I've done that. You have made the wrong decision in my opinion.
[HH]: Well, let me tell you something. I made that organization a monster. I made people rich up there. I made the people that ran that organization rich up there, brother. And when it all came to pass, the name Hulk Hogan, the man Hulk Hogan, got bigger than the whole organization, brother. And then, Billionaire Ted, amigo; he wanted to talk turkey with Hulk Hogan. Well, Billionaire Ted promised me movies, brother. Billionaire Ted promised me millions of dollars. And Billionaire Ted promised me world-caliber matches. And as far as Billionaire Ted goes, Eric Bischoff, and the whole WCW goes, I'm bored brother. That's why these two guys here, the so-called Outsiders, these are the men I want as my friends. They are the new blood of professional wrestling, brother. And not only are we going to take over the whole wrestling business with Hulk Hogan and the new blood, the monsters with me, we will destroy everything in our path, Mean Gene.
[Fans pelt the ring with garbage]
[GO]: Look at all of this crap in this ring. This is what's in the future for you if you want to hang around the likes of this man Hall and this man Nash.
[HH]: As far as I'm concerned, all of this crap in the ring represents these fans out here. For two years, brother, for two years I held my head high. I did everything for the charities. I did everything for the kids. And the reception I got when I came out here - you fans can stick it, brother. Because if it wasn't for Hulk Hogan you people wouldn't be here. If it wasn't for Hulk Hogan, Eric Bischoff would be still selling meat from a truck in Minneapolis. And if it wasn't for Hulk Hogan, all these Johnny Come Lately's that you see out here wrestling wouldn't be here. I was selling out the world, brother, while they were pumping gas to put in their car to get to high school. So the way it is now, brother, with Hulk Hogan and the New World Organization of Wrestling, brother, me and the new blood by my side, whatcha gonna do when the New World Organization runs wild on you? Whatcha gonna do? What are you gonna do?
GO: Hey, don't touch me, I got a fleet of lawyers. Tony, Bobby, Dusty, dammit, let's get back to you.
[TS]: All right, we have seen the end of Hulkamania. For Bobby "The Brain" Heenan, for Dusty Rhodes, Gene Okerlund. I'm Tony Schiavone. Hulk Hogan, you can go to hell. We're outta here. Straight to hell.

Doesn't work for me brother.....literally the answer for any story anyone else ever says
Hollywood Hogan > Red and Yellow
What's a "work" and a "shoot"?
“Work” means predetermined and cooperative. Shoot is for real.
@@Fantasyremix ah, thanks
If sting turned heal it won't work because who would have been your face when no one else was over and especially over sting at that time fram as a face and fans never accepted sting as heel
Huckster also said he wanted the original nWo to be him, b.brian blair and his rat beefcake so
Hogan is 100% correct. The best wrestler is the one who makes the most money. Always has been that way.
They're the ones who bring ya to the beach. Maybe one of the other wreslers gets you to stay at the beach. For me, it was Randy Savage that got my attention, but the cruiserweights and guys like Bret Hart and Shawn Michaels kept me glued to the television. I was hooked from there.
The host needs to invest into a better studio…it looks like this is being done is somebody’s break room. I keep expecting someone to walk-in to heat up their hot pocket
lmfao
The gull on Terry for lying again. He must get off for 10 seconds at least every time he talks
Should have a nose bigger than hhh
Where is he lying in this video?
@@michaelburke7978a lot of people just dislike hogan
Hogans like the one uncle you know that kinda embellishes and 90% of what he says is bullshit but you just let it go because he’s family, who cares hard to remember everything from 30 40 years ago
"Hulk Hogan isn't always honest'
-Same person who thinks Dave Meltzer is relevant and always honest 😂
Far be it for me to call Hogan a liar....but... I heard this story years ago from a Nash shoot interview and these two stories don't match
Sting would have messed it up
No he wouldn’t
Hulk was Great as a Heel Dude.
Hey is that the guy whose cat attacked him?
greg gagne invented the nwo brother
Sad that every Hogan interview is completely worthless due to his constant lying.
In your mind
@@jordannewsom3606 Nah dude, I'm his mind
@@blackholesupersloth3276 Oh that changes everything
@@jordannewsom3606 The worst part is when he's telling a story, and I start noticing little white lies. Stories become pointless when you can't trust the teller.
One of if not the biggest BS’er in the biz. I swear his stories change every time he tells them.
nWo
Original plan was Sting to be the third men.
It was the backup plan, not the original plan
He always acts like he always creates everything.. so many lies every time he speaks
Sting woulndt have worked and nwo would of died against the red and yellow express and the creatuve control
It doesn't work for me brother lmao
More Hogan lies as usual. I don't know what's funnier him saying Mean Gene was bleeding or Hall and Nash not knowing it was Hogan coming out. Just stick with 1:43 Hulkster, you don't remember any of it and it's obvious to the viewers listening that you're just making stuff up.
