"that doesnt work for me brother" card 😂
The Rock/HBK one doesn't sound so much like ego, more like a grudge. Maybe I'm not reading it right though.

You could even still tell the beaten horse story of WWE vs WCW with Sting and Taker. They’re both the heart and soul of their promotions., Both were on the first broadcast of their flagship shows, and you’ve got the spooky bollocks similarities. You could even bring in Undertakers time in WCW. “I was told by your buddies that nobody would pay to see me step foot in the ring. So I sold my soul to the devil.” So many ways to approach that match.

Lord that cut away of HBK at tha beginning dress up as Ole Hulk Hogan himself has me rolling on tha floor ahahaha.. Shawn really was outstanding at dressing up an mocking a certain character.. Top Notch man 😂😂😂
As a kid I remember the Goldberg v. Jericho fued. Even though I didn't like Jericho (nasty dirty heel) I still remember really enjoying what he put into that program.
In HBK's defense, he wasn't the pill-popping Hellraiser he was in the 90s, while Hogan hadn't matured in the slightest since his 1993 departure. And ALL of his schtick during his feud with Hogan was hilarious. While Hogan has no self-awareness or comedic leanings. No intentional comedic leanings that is.

And reportedly Shawn got permission for the promos that he cut in the lead-up from both Hulk and then head of creative Stephanie McMahon, and Hogan lied and said he went too far and was unprofessional later. So between all of that and then nixing the entire promo, I can easily see why HBK would just be fed up and decide to just amuse himself.
Wild to think that if Goldberg knew how to do business back in the day we wouldn't have gotten Raw Is Jericho.

Yep........ Austin wanted nothing to do with Hogan cos of all the shit he'd pulled down the years. So they flipped things so SCSA got Scott Hall (which IMO wasn't a big deal) & Rock got Hogan......Wonder where that'd have left Rock otherwise? I always thought they should have booked The Outsiders vs The Brothers Of Destruction for WM18, but that would have still left one of Rock or Austin without a bit time opponent.

@@airfixx_8952, if Stone Cold went against Hulk Hogan at WrestleMania 18, then The Rock probably would've went against Scott Hall.
The sarcastic promo HBK cut the night after Summerslam 2005 had nothing to do with convincing Hogan not to continue the feud. That decision had already been set in stone. That HBK promo was simply just one last "fuck you" to Hogan.

The reason he went to TNA was because he did not trust Vince McMahon in the creative direction that he wanted to take the steam character if he went to WWE.

Thanks for the shout out to Webster SD,
Dream 8 man tag match from the 90s. Wwe vs Wcw. Wwe. Austin, The Rock, HHH, and Undertaker. Wcw. Hogan, Goldberg, Nash and Sting. I got Wwe.
Goldberg was a walking ego with no understanding of how the business worked or how lucky he was to be handed everything.....
Brawl at All Out…. The Elite Punk dance is like a middle school ( secondary ) he said she said
Vince McMahon wanted one last WCW vs WWE match, The only person that did, I had to listen to the commentary in Spanish. And NWO should have attached Sting with DX. Then have some baby faces from the survivor series make the save.
Farmer Brock vs 2022 Heel Kevin Owens could’ve worked tbh
good video
Feel like it has been a while since we got a nice little MOJO plug
Thank For The Video 🙊🤯🥰💕
But sadly I saw Sting wrestle Mark Callous days before he debuted in the WWF. It literally was a match on a WCW B show.
Hulk Hogan vs Bruiser Brody would be bigger than all those matches if booked well
Punk indeed ended up on a separate brand from the elite. It's called Monday Night Raw
Punk vs Omega could still happen though lol don't count it out until one of them are retired
Yes.I literally predicted Punk would be a problem in AEW.
Imagine if one of Hogan's opponents hulked up on him.
I would’ve liked to seen Steve Austin vs Brock Lesnar at 39 over Brock Lesnar vs Omar‘s

Adam here is the problem with your theory about Punk vs the Elite. Punk SHOULD lose but will refuse to.
"Austin had every right to veto the match" yet people always want to critize the hulkster.

In fairness, given how Sting's neck was-and in fairness, arguably still is-it's for the best that Taker didn't face Sting. If a Turnbuckle Powerbomb can put out Sting's neck for years, just think what a properly done Tombstone Piledriver would have done.

CM Punk is his own worst enemy. Every promotion he is a part of ends with drama. He always blames the other party and bails out. The guy could of been the biggest star in the world if he had just pushed through.. instead he always has to resort to throwing a tantrum.
The irony behind the Michaels\Hogan match was that Shawn ran into someone who was the top of the heap when it came to ego and everyone he screwed over laughed at him because there is nobody bigger than Hogan who just on his own could dismantle the Kliq with one snap of his finger.
i dont understand why Austin vs Brock is on this list when there were good reasons why this Match happened. it was not Austins Fault it was Vinces and his Stooges.
Vince's reasoning for not doing Taker/Sting is so silly. Wanting 1 more FU to WCW is fine I guess, and running HHH/sting does make sense for that story, but if he wanted 1 more WWE vs WCW match, why not do the spooky man from WWE vs the spooky man from WCW. So silly Also, wasn't Taker's last match in WCW, as "Mean" Mark Callous at the time, against Sting? The match that he wrestled on a dislocated hip knowing that Vince was looking at signing him afterwards? If that is the case, then there is a story there for sure for Taker vs Sting. Vince is so damn silly
