Barry Horowitz was supposed to be the 3rd man
That doesn’t work for me, Brother
I worked there during that time. The only other choice was Sting.
Give yourself a pat on the back for that one
It never would've worked. Not with him.
No way!
You have to admit this was a brilliant move by Eric Bischoff and Hogan, no one expected this not by a long shot
This wasn't just a brilliant move, it was the greatest move ever. Hogan's heel turn, IMO, is the biggest and greatest single moment in the history of the business. It had it all. The shock value, the timing, the reactions, and the right people in the right spots at the right time. It not only reignited Hogan's career, but it completely revolutionized the business. Without Hogan's heel turn and the formation of the NWO, there would not have been an Attitude Era which means no DX, no Rock, no Stone Cold Steve Austin, no Hell in a Cell (and Mankind being thrown off it), any of it.
@@sportsfan5548exactly, alot of younger fans wanna downplay or discredit what hulk brought to the nWo when In reality the storyline would have probably died a sad death if nash and hall (in kayfabe) didn't deliver with a megastar as their third man.
It was a shock and it wasn’t. Obviously Hogan was the ultimate baby face. But on the flip side because of that , it’s not exactly rocket science to know that if he turned heel it would be a momentous occasion. His career was slow then. He really didn’t have much to lose by trying it Plus a lot of hulkamanuacd were now in their late teens and 20s and had moved on from wrestling to other interests. What a great time to pull them back in as a heel
The best heel turn ever.
Best moment in wrestling history.
Wow you can see in Hulk's eyes how super painful it was to turn heel
Agreed and it wasn't until the 11th hour that he decided to do it. He was stale in WCW and wasn't getting the reaction he usually got. He knew he needed to change and, to his credit, he did.
@@sportsfan5548some of hulks fans who grew up with him in the early 80s are now adults and we’re tired of his shtick. I remember the kids who were born in 91-4 were crying when he turned heel. Their parents were super pissed.
He loved turning g heel
Hogan was Jealous if sting joined the NWO...because he wanted all the attention.....still does!
A lot of people may have forgotten, though, that Hulk Hogan had actually started his career in Wrestling as a Heel, and, at one point, back in the late 1970s, or early 1980s, had been managed by "The Hollywood Fashion Plate", Classy Freddie Blassie! This guy was one of the most notorious, and most vicious, Men, that has ever been involved with Wrestling! Even as a Heel, he's still revered as one of the All-Time Greats!
Biggest heel turn of all time i loved it cause it caught everybody of guard
Biggest gamble in wrestling history, and also, the biggest payout today.
I don't wear headger but hats off to eric bishoff for that twist no one saw coming.
Indeed, vince wouldn't dare pull the trigger on hulk in 90, even when hogan was ready for it so eric deserve alot of credit for convincing hogan to make the move.
Loved it when the fans where throwing beer cups
I respect Eric Bishoff ,he's the only person in the world that beat WWF Vince McMahon in mid 1996 w. NWO.
One of the greatest and most effective shock moments in pro wrestling, it really elicited a pure emotional response. All the fans fell for it hook, line, and sinker- myself included. Those fans that were throwing the garbage into the ring were the biggest marks of all !! They were living the moment of Hogan's betrayal of the fans and were angry!!! Another similar moment for me was when Hogan spray painted the Big Gold Belt. I saw that on tv and it made my stomach churn.
Loved it when he turned heel as ‘Hollywood’ Hulk Hogan!!!!! LOL!!!!!
One of the Best... if Not, THE BEST Heel Turn in Wrestling History!!
So if sting turned would we have gotten crow hogan?😂😂😂
Crogan
Perish the thought! It would never have worked!
I remember watching Nitro on May 27th the day Scott Hull invaded WCW the first time. I remember thinking OMG!! Razor Ramon is joining WCW I had no idea his name was Scott Hull. I was so happy but had no idea how this would change the wrestling world forever. The NWO, Hogan’s heel turn and the birth of Crow Sting would bring on wrestling utopia in the attitude era.
I heard Kenny Omega was originally the 3rd man but Hogan exercised his creative control
😂🤣 that’s not gonna work for him brother lol
Too funny! Toooooo funnyyyyy!!!
Best thing that could have happened because nWo was fucking iconic!!!
I never would’ve guessed in a million years that Hulk Hogan was the third man joining Scott Hall and Kevin Nash to form the NWO.
Hulk Hogan was the biggest babyface of all time in the WWF and the biggest heel of all time in WCW. Both times he did that, both companies each generated millions of dollars and saw success it had never even dreamed of before. Then he came back to the WWF and was STILL more over than anyone in the company.
Say what you want about Hulk. The man is the biggest-name in the history of this industry. The Rock is the most "successful," but we saw at Wrestlemania X-8 who was the "bigger" star in that 20 x 20.
Heenan: "I never thought I'd see people throwing debris-"
Schivonie: "-at Hulk Hogan."
Heenan: "-at Hulk Hogan."
God, I love that call.
Heenan then said "I knew it should've been done sooner."
In one way was shocked how Hulk turned heel. But on the other hand was brilliant for the business and ratings. One of the best ideas Eric came up with
Eric wanting sting to turn heel is a laughably bad call. Sting was a wcw pureblood. He was the people’s champion. Having him turn and insult the fans would have pushed the dive in ratings even earlier. Hogan was former wwf. It made sense he would also align with two other top wwf guys.
Sting could’ve worked cause he was the work horse that got pushed over and overlooked. Think about the match Sting would’ve turned on Macho and Luger helped Hall Nash win
Best Day in Wrestling EVER!
Hogan is a shrewd business man, he was hesitant to turn heel because of possibly losing millions in merchandise, movies, advertising etc
Turned out to be the best thing he ever did, though.
@@erikbunty2016 Agree it started a boom in the wrestling business and gave his career a second life
Hulk Hogan' was a hero from light to dark Good And evil yin And yang but inside a great man of sport entertainment
If Bischoff thought this was a bad idea because of the reaction he didn't know wrestling, this was the last time someone had legitimate heat. It would not have worked as well with Sting, because the Outsiders were invaders from the WWF, the Leader of the Outsiders had to be the biggest star in the WWF's history, that's what made sense. And you had two options to eventually end the NWO, one was Sting would do it as a paragon of WCW or Bret Hart would do it given his recent history and hatred of the WWF.
Tragically they took neither.
Glad Hogan turned to God. Lord Keep him
Thanks for watching
Who's that?
Is this where easy eric actualy lives??? Boy he sure loves the wide open spaces !!!!!!!!
I never liked hulk hogan even as a kid but that heel turned was like wtf. It was a way bigger mindfuck than taker losing to Brock
Never would have worked with Sting
Hulk Had to be the guy Sting wouldn’t made sense or it wouldn’t work.
@@EaglesSlantroute
Exactly right.
It would of saved WCW
The new Sting would later become a foil to the NWO.
the greatest hero in wrestling history the greatest villian in wrestling history the greatest name in wrestling history ......HULK HOGAN BROTHEEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRR!!!!!
Hogan was a great Heel and Face. I liked them equally.
Same here, while I enjoyed hulkamania as a kid I grew up to appreciate hollywood.
3:35 - Eric gets a phone call from Hulk but then describes Hogan’s lips?!?
Was this FaceTime back in 1996?!? 🤦♂️
Interesting you post this.
I just finished up the WrestleMania 1 & I see one of Hulks first real promos backstage. You can literally see his eyes change 👀 change form multiple times.
The same thing w Ric Flair & Eddie Guerrero. Dominick Mysterio has a UA-cam channel 2005 a few years back where he uploaded a scene where Eddie is standing in the sun doing a promo in a park as Dominick is swinging. Between the 1:00 - 1;15 mark watch Eddie's left eye. Im obviously living w Regrets as well. I took up a Hulks name in Powerlifting not knowing what I got myself into & definitely bringing Awareness to other
I use to be a wrestling fan & wanted to be a wrestler. Literally, everything that could go wrong in life ? Prevented me to do so. Just like in karate, power lifting... Army... Moving up in my current career ...
I feel God is some how involved in allowing circumstances occur to hold me back from such a lifestyle.
Thanks for watching and thanks for the great comments!
My mother passed away on Juky 29th 1996. One day after this ppv
The 3rd man was suppose to be Glenn Gilbertii
Sometimes in life you have to roll the dice and take a chance. It was a gamble and a gamble that paid off big time. Those who dare often win and Eric won with this descion.
People loved baby face Hulk. The heat was game changing that night. Red and Yellow Hulkster was never the same but Hollywood gave WCW 83 weeks on top.
The fat fan losing his shit behind the barricade kind of looks like Chris Christie, he did go into the ring and got his head stomped by Scott Hall
12 year old me was devastated man
i think hulk hogan should of stayed a good guy and fought the nwo as a good guy and have sting the leader of the nwo
Rudy Diamond should have been the third man
I can be honest the only time i rooted for Hogan nope Hollywood i like so much more Hogan was a great bad guy but fans cant hate him. He has the IT factor yes sting wouldve been good but Hogan was great if sting did maybe 5 months really it wouldnt have got the coverage like with Hogan made the news.
4 life!
Hollywood Hogan = Swagathon!!
If you got a Phone Call from hogan.....how did Eric Bischoff knowed he curled his lips up..?Could Bischoff c hogans face over the phone....tell another one Eric
I still wonder what would have been had Sting been the 3rd man. No doubt Hulk was the right move, but still, what if.
Number one sting was a horrible promo so nash & hall would've had to carry the promos,two had hulk stayed in wcw, he along with say macho and lex would have probably ended the nWo by starcade of 96😂 so it wouldn't have been as successful or as well remembered as it is, thankfully hulk made the right move and the rest is history.
Great points!
It all worked out for the kids😅
