- Wrestling Bios Presents - Hulk Hogan in the nWo - Year 1
When it comes to success and popularity in the world of wrestling, Hulk Hogan is a name that stands out. Without Hulk Hogan, the WWE would not be where it is today. When Hulkamania was running wild back in the late 80s and early 90s, fans sold out arenas and tuned into WWF programming to see Hulk Hogan emerge victorious time and time again.
When Hulk Hogan left the WWE to join WCW, his fan reactions were not what they used to be. Seeing that pro wrestling was evolving, Hogan made the decision to turn into a wrestling villain and form the nWo along with Kevin Nash and Scott Hall. This change in character gave "Hollywood" Hulk Hogan a much needed boost, and along with the nWo, he was able to not only change the face of WCW, but change the professional wrestling landscape once again.
This mini documentary from Wrestling Bios takes a look at Hulk Hogan's first year as the leader of the New World Order. Topics covered include:
01:31 - Hogan's changing popularity in WCW before the nWo
02:20 - Hulk Hogan's WCW contract and his pay bonuses
04:58 - Bash at The Beach 1996 and the formation of the nWo
09:23 - Hogan becomes WCW Champion at Hog Wild 1996
11:05 - Hulk Hogan vs Macho Man Randy Savage at Halloween Havoc 1996
13:10 - Hulk Hogan vs Roddy Piper at Starrcade 1996
15:00 - Hulk's WCW Nitro Schedule
- Much More!

Hogan turning heel actually made Sportscenter on ESPN....lol....thats how epic that decision was....I will never forget that night
Kwalified That is awesome.
So did ash winning his first league in pokemon just recently
@Daniel Dimino ...and greatest face of all time...think about that
This. This is why it HAD to be Hogan. No disrespect to Sting, but his name didn't have the same weight that Hogan's did to people who didn't watch wrestling, or stopped watching wrestling.
I remember seeing that
Hulk’s decision to turn heel and be the 3rd man for the nWo was absolutely the right course of action. He was once again one of the hottest stars in wrestling and it kicked off a boom period not just for WCW, but for professional wrestling in general because NOTHING gets Vince McMahon into high gear quite like beating him at his own game.
The only other decision that would have worked, is if HBK or Bret hart left wwf and joined the outsiders. The choice to fall back on Sting would have failed. He was too over as a wcw guy and a baby face.
Hogan using the WCW Championship as a guitar.. Priceless!
And the spray on 5 o'clock shadow. Lol
@@cobracyxx8808 lol
and it drew more than a dime!
its lil things like that that make him the goat even tho he’s an arse loool
Amen to that!
Can't listen to voodoo child without thinking Hollywood Hogan
matthew rowley you can call Hogan whatever you want to call them, but at least he has good music taste.
I wonder if Hogan picked Voodoo Child himself?
I could
@@westnile21 don't forget his WCW American Made theme.
Me either
This dude Hogan personified the word "HOLLYWOOD" with this heel run. Kicking it with Dennis Rodman? Tooo sweeeeet!
Yeah you right. John Cena should take some notes from hogan and turn heel
@@christophernicholson20 i could't agree with you enough bro!! YES HE DOES!
@Nich Hodge Dennis Rodman alias Rod-zilla was an eccentric basketball star known for his almost Ru-Paul style garish outfits & outlandish antics. He rivaled Michael Jordan, Charles Barkley, Shaq & other faces of the half-court of his era, much like infamous late 80's boxing icon, walking Punch-Out! home console port endorsement, early 90's convicted rapist & questionable WWE Hall of Fame Celebrity inductee "Iron" Mike Tyson did by gnawing on fellow boxer Evander Hollyfield's ear.
@Heenan Harley you obviously misread my statement or missed the point...ok..
@Heenan Harley you still didn't get my point, but whatevs.
The forming of the NWO and Hogan turning heel was absolutely mesmerizing when I was an 11 year old in 1996.
It's Michael Jordan in basketball, Michael Jackson in pop music, Muhammad Ali in boxing and Hulk Hogan in wrestling, Brother!
So obvious
Ric Flair and Steve Austin might have a thing or two to say about that
The Rock says know your role and SHUT YOUR MOUTH
An Malone in porn videos..
FACT!
I like how you're shocked at Hogans match schedule when it comes to Nitro, yet Lesner is a ghost on Raw. At least he showed up
Exactly.
As of a year ago he'd not wrestled a match on Raw since 2002. That's insane.
It's what vince wants. He paid him for a number of dates. I cant even blame Brock. This is all Vince
@GG Drizz if the money's right brock would be there every week
ua-cam.com/video/PXmCXdIXL3s/v-deo.html
Missed an opportunity to have the “the preceding message has been paid for by the new world order” intro.
Not a fan of Hogan but his heel turn was one of the great heel turns and runs of all time. The first time he used the spray paint popped me something shocking!
That’s what she said..
Ive been following you for fragrance info and now randomly see you're also an old school wrestling fan! XD Great stuff.
@@SilverPanther000 😂👍🏻
His mystique as Hollywood, and how he seemed so untouchable during this run was truly something to watch. Glad I got to live thru it
You really have to admire the sheer balls of hogan to ask for all those bonuses in his contracts. I just can't fathom the kind of money he made in the 4 or 5 years he was in wcw. The money wcw must have been making in order to pay him and everyone else massive money and still turn an enormous profit must have been out of this world. Then they go ahead and start throwing money at basketball players and nfl players. When you dig into it even a little it's on a whole other level than any of us realise.
Well when you're bankrolled by a billionaire you can give out big deals. Especially when the billionaire isn't even paying attention.
Shay Dillane gee I wonder why wcw died. I’ll never know
@@nexusgiga it didn't die because of the massive contracts. It died because AOL Time Warner didn't want wrestling on their TV stations
@@nexusgiga Bischoff had investors ready to buy the company but it was a no go as long as AOL time Warner didn't want wrestling despite bringing in millions viewers each week.
Yup it's balls what he asked for but he got it. The old adage fits. "You are worth what somebody is willing to pay you."
I wonder if Vince after seeing how successful Hogan’s heel turn was, took some inspiration himself after the screw job.
Of course he did. He borrowed a lot from the formula Nitro was using to beat the WWF during that time period. He clung on to the comic style of the 80s and early 90s for a long time before he smartened up and realized that people wanted to watch a product geared towards a more "mature" audience. Bischoff was doing the heel authority figure long before McMahon decided to take that role for himself (and did it better, even though Bischoff was a great smarmy heel).
@@jokerzwild00 it was so well done
Vince copied A TON from WCW.
hey yo Vince is the greatest heel of all time don’t @ me
Greatest period in wrestling.
Would love to see a 3 part episode …
THE THREE FACES OF FOLEY
Part 1 : Mankind
Part 2 : Cactus Jack
Part 3 : Dude Love
Part one would have to be Cactus Jack as that's who he was for years before he went to WWF and became Mankind.
@@handsolo1209
Good point. I went by his WWE order. As you noted, not truly chronological.
Mankind (1996 heel & early signs of post-Socko 1998 moppet) AND face Dude Love (teaming with future rival Steve Austin after HBK claimed another injury after the upcoming WM 14 opponents surprisingly won the tag titles from Camp Cornette) came before Cactus Jack in WWF. They even introduced him per a meta green screen promo!
@@TherealRNOwwfpooh
Yes, but Solo's point was that the Cactus Jack persona was introduced before he came to the WWE/F, thereby making it the original character of the three.
I know, @@mrmojomajestic8317, but I was correcting the user who listed Dude Love after Cactus Jack in the WWF when it was 1996 heel Mankind, 1997 face Dude Love, 1997-1998 Cactus Jack, 1998 Corporate Dude Love, face Mankind after HitC at KotR 1998, one-off Cactus Jack 1999 appearance the RAW before Over the Edge (R.I.P Owen), 1999-2000 post-Socko face Mankind, year 2000 Smackdown return of Cactus Jack for Royal Rumble & No Way Out...Then Foley "retired" sans wrestling as himself at WM 2000.
Crazy! I didnt know Hogan had those bonuses in his contract. He must have been making crazy money with how popular WCW was at that time.
Hogans heel turn was so epic his parents called him angry as hell like what have you done Terry ? I’ve seen the documentary great stuff
You believe that? 😂🤣😂🤣
When NWO was just Diesel, Razor, and Thunderlips, they should have done WAY more 6 man tags matching them against the best in the WCW
Didnt work for him, brother. Its Hogan. Dude only did main event singles
Imo they missed a prime opportunity of an overall feud storyline between equals by making NWO way too strong and too big.
It wasn't so exciting anymore when they beat almost everyone up until they joined them and in the end there was barely any match for them left.
I love how you name hall nash and Hogan like nobody knows they are razor diesel and thunder lips lol believe me everyone knows buddy but thanks for trying to remind people lol
And you forget when it was Hogan Hall and nash ace really only had sting Lugar savage and flair
If they did that then the nWo would just feel like a normal tag team....Having Hall and Nash to represent the tag team part of the nWo and mainly using Hogan as the guy to bring the brass ring to their brand was just perfect imo but then again just one six man tag match out of them wouldn't hurt a bit
As always my friend you never disappoint. Thank you so much for your time and effort. I am grateful to you for looking for your fellow wrestling fans. I look forward to seeing your next masterpiece. Please take care of yourself. 👍😁👍😁👍😁👍😁👍
10000000000% agree! Great job as always Bio
I heard hogan say I cant remember when it was on an interview that he wanted to turn heel long before he actually did. It was when the wwe try to make the warrior the next top guy. If warriors run as wwe champion went better than it did I think hogan would"ve turned heel during that period.
Greatest Babyface of all time: Hulk Hogan
Greatest Heel of all time: Hulk Hogan
Pretty cool that Hall and Nash’s (mainly Hall’s) first thought/choice was Bret.
Damien Jones I don’t think so.
Surprisingly since Bret Hart didn't like any members of the Clique or the idea of a political "clique".
Lol at all the Bret haters.
Hall and Nash are all about making money; Bret was the hottest name following Montreal, and whilst they may not have like Bret and vice versa, they knew that Bret would be professional, do his job and they'd be rolling in cash if it worked.
Voodoo child! Hogans into theme introduced me to Jimi Hendrix as a kid, which introduced me to guitar. Now I'm a professional musician and tour the US. I owe my career to the NWO.
It would have killed the nWo if after kicking his ass at Bash at the Beach, Sting was revealed to be the 3rd man-on the same night.
HereIsWisdom 1318 Sting being the third man would not of had the same impact. It would’ve been a shocker no doubt but it would not of made the same waves.
It would’ve been a hell of a swerve though considering that he had just fought these guys for several minutes prior.
LOVED the intro! Crazy to think like you said that if Hogan no showed, Sting would have been the nWo front man. I never knew that about Hogan (although I shouldn't be surprised), that he worked all of his obligated matches first of the year. I always thought by him not wrestling on Nitro, Thunder, Etc. it was his way of building himself up, that he was the man in charge now and only he decided when he would defend the title. Seriously had no clue that wasn't the case at all. Another great video. Thank you.
Hulk Hogan needed to do this. I got tired of him in the early '90's in WWF so when he turned heel in 1996 I thought that it was so cool. This was the first time I saw him as a heel since his Memphis days when he went up against Jerry Lawler.
It was so well done
One of the greatest moments in professional wrestling!
The greatest heel turn of all time.
There will be no equal heel turn. What would nearly be the same? Cena in WWE? Danielson in aew?
That would be Austin at WM17
@@LouSassoleSledgecock_III That was a great turn for sure, but Hogan’s turn literally changed the business and propelled the Monday Night Wars.
@@farisal-amer7635 imo it wasn't a "great turn" and the business and creative from that 2001 austin heel run proves my point.
@@farisal-amer7635how was Austin's heel turn a great moment? Are you dumb?
Wrestling Bios 4 life
People forget Hogan started out as a heel. In the late 1970s
I loved Hollywood Hogan with the black beard and blond ‘stache. Pretty dope.
I was a freshman in high school at this time. I would get my portable tv, n64, wresting games , and watch wrestling on the living room tv.
I wish i could peer into the universe where Hogan said no to being the third guy and it was Sting instead.
What if in that universe, WCW is still around and thriving
Then you would have to change ALOT more than Hogan saying no to the 3rd man. Im not even talking about changing things with wwe either.
I wish I can peer into a universe where hogan wasn’t the face of the industry
@@nexusgiga - You can. It's called ROH. No fans and nobody cares.
It wouldn't have worked.. Sting didn't have no where near the charisma and mic skills Hogan had to pull it off.
This was so necessary when people turn their backs on you and take you for granted the best revenge is a heel turn and show em what's up 💯👊
It was so well done, but it was passe for 3 to 5 years by this point
yo that intro song...
Yeah I always wondered who did that Hendrix cover. The original is Voodoo Chile (Slight Return), but that's not the Hendrix version
Stevie Ray Vaughan's Cover Is My Personal Favorite... Search Live Performaces of It... Legendary
Love Heenan’s call who’s side is he on. Still gives me chills even now.
"I've been saying it for years!! Will you listen now?!!" Bobby could just so seamlessly lead from history to current emotion and events like no one else.
Honestly thought that Bobby’s call actually hurt the heel turn. I’ve seen footage where Bobby’s call is actually muted out. But I have come to understand how a call like that at Bash at the Beach was so consistent with the disdain that The Brain had (in the commentary booth) for The Hulkster since the mid ‘80s.
@@richeandujar agree in a sense. He's hated Hogan since Andre at Wrestlemania. That said, he should left it open ended as opposed to giving the call of who's side is he on. He should've said the calvary is here or something like that
Yeah he just about ruined it almost telling us in advance what is about to happen
That line ruined it
Greatest heel turn ever
I still liked the 80's hulk hogan.
Voodoo Child - Hulk Hogan is in my top 5 music entrances all time
Hahaha he hulked up as a heel 😂 I gotta go back and see this
Same 🤔
yeah he did, I was like wtf lmfao you can see the match on dailymotion cause it aint on youtube
One thing that gets massively over looked by people,infact I never heard anyone mention one of the things that made Hogan such a great Heel is the guys he learned from during his hulkamania days. Andre The Giant, Taker,Piper, Savage, and many more Hogan learned being a heel from
Every WWE mark will disagree but Hulk joining The Outsiders to form the NWO took wrestling to a whole new level. Before that if you were in your late teens early 20s and said you were a fan you would be laughed at. Then Hulk turns the NWO becomes huge WCW goes on a run that no other wrestling promotion has even come close to since the WWF expansion in 1984. Hulk ushered in 2 of the most profitable times in pro wrestling history. Then came back to WWE and had another classic WrestleMania match with The Rock
I was at Halloween Havoc 96 and Piper coming out blew the roof off that place.
Best wrestling channel on UA-cam
Hollywood Hulk Hogan absolutely amazing character. NWO 4 Life Brother 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌😎🤘🏻
Dude, when Hogan turned heel, it was on the front page of many a newspaper, including USA Today if I'm not misremembering.
I’m trying to look for those. I wish there was news dedicated to this.
This was the biggest thing I. Anything. Hulkster shocked us all.. we had internet it was dial up and took forever, we had cell phone but only for the the Rich. I came to high school.. all the guys in school and gals to were talking all about this. More than Michael Jackson and prince and o.j Simpson.. and we all were like yeah. It was golden days. Hollywood Hulk Hogan
Keep up the great work. The true fan's love this stuff .Thank you from the whole gang in Phoenix ,Az.
I love this channel so much.
Can you do one about Roddy Piper's time in the NWO? That's would be a great story for the fans. Hogan was popular for many years but Piper was popular for being brash, honest and he loved his fans. Plus he did it to take care of his family. He was a champion without a title. RIP Roddy Piper. Love you always!
HULK HOGAN WAS THE BIGGEST MARK IN PROFESSIONAL WRESTLING HISTORY BROTHER‼️
Thanks for posting. Hogan and Warrior will always be my favs
Please do a history of the ministry of darkness
Why...WHY did they not make the corporate ministry last longer. That entrance theme
Now this is the content I needed.
Love these nwo vids.
1996 was crazy, Hogan turns heel then 2pac dies
Personally think this was the best of hogan brilliant video thankyou
Konagh Brennan absolutely
Personally i didn't like the face hogan always been a heel fan but hogan did Hollywood hogan two perfection
I remember this night. The only thing that sucked, was I had to listen to it because of the squiggly lines through the TV. However, I remember being shocked as hell when Hogan turned heel.
You landed a New subscriber with the nWo doc!
Thanks Daniel!
Brother I've been waiting for this video! Brother...
I love your channel brother. Your videos be detailed and exciting. Appreciate you. Hollywood Hogan turning heel is legendary. Best time in wrestling history when Nwo took over.
Hogan turning heel changed the face of wrestling thus bringing on the attitude era
Some of the best times to watch wrestling..
Just found this channel and your doing great work mate
Love intro music. Probably the best part of Hogan was his NWO period
You school me every time I watch one of your videos. Very informative and very well put together. You never disappoint man. Keep it up
Hogan had an amazing contract.
Goat too sweeeeeeet
I absolutely love how you use sources like EB from 83 Weeks instead of dirt sheet rumors for the content of your videos. Respect
I absolutely despised the decision to make Piper v Hogan I a non-title match. I was quite pissed when I went to bed thinking Piper won the title, only to find out the next night no one said it was a non-title match.
By "vitamins" he meant steroids.
Nooo! Shocking!
All I remember from the match between Hogan and Macho Man was when Savage took the wig from Hogan the announcer said he is convertible he is convertible that had everybody in my house laughing
thats totally crazy! i watched WWF when i was a kid and was a Hulkamaniac but i stopped watching wrestling all together until the Outsiders came to WcW and Hogan turned and the nWo was formed. i loved Hollywood Hogan then i became a religious nWo fan from 96 to about 98/99. if they sent Sting out that night that never wouldve happened for me.
Hulkamania ended in like 1991. He kinda just manipulated his way into staying in the picture.

I'm glad I was kid and got to witness the hogan heel turn and the attitude Era and everything I was to young when he had his hulakmaniac run but I didn't know of him as much my guys were hbk and razor then 96 came and hogan became heel and he became one of my favs I just thought the whole nwo was so cool
Paused and liked purely based off the intro...i know this is gonna be worth my time watching! 😎
This channel is just tooooo swwwweeeeeeettttt.
I’m gonna watch and subscribe 4 life
I can't listen to voodoo child without thanking of Hollywood Hulk Hogan either
Another savage video . Been a fan since ur first few videos "why all the hate" got me hooked . Glad i subscribbed early ur a legend bro . Really give the bigger youtube channels a run for their money
Ironic how the WWF/E and WCW have these similar issues, pretty much parallel in a lot of ways, but the one difference is that Vince knows how to run a business and think about the long term when forced to.
This video is incredible! I'd consider myself in the top 5% of nWo fans, and there was some stuff in there that I wasn't aware of.
Thanks Jerry! Good to hear :)
Do a vid about wrestlers that hated Hogan and after their deaths he claims they resolved disputes.
UA-cam doesn't have enough storage space for a video that big 😂

War to settle the score is Piper & Orndorf at thier best. Cool stuff man. Love this channel.

I have some great ideas for some videos. We share a common passion for wrestling. With that being said one underrated wrestler that comes to mind is hacksaw Jim Dugan. He's a really interesting character
The Hulkster !
