That's what they say

 

[Hoss]

I think he was supposed to be Plan B if Hogan didn't want to go through with it

 

[Hoss]

I love that rolling clothesline by Konnan

 

[Smart Marx]

Which I thik Hogan passed on it at first.

 

[Smart Marx]

My favorite though is when Dave suggested Mabel would be the third guy. Easy E had a bird.

 

[Smart Marx]

Worlds? You mean US?

 

[Hoss]

Sting as the third man is definitely fun to think about. We've never really seen Sting do a edgy cool guy in the vein of the nWo.

 

[Smart Marx]

Flair bringing the United states back to America.

 

[Hoss]

But, ultimately, it wouldn't have had the impact of Hogan. Maybe the WCW Faithful would have lost their shit, but it wouldn't have resonated throughout the entire wrestling world the same way.

 

[Smart Marx]

If Sting had gone to the crow gimmick when he joined the nWo, it could have worked. Not as big though. Still, fun.

 

[Smart Marx]

Hogan turning made the nWo the most grondbreaking wrestlig angle in history. It

 

[Hoss]

Plus Hogan as a face was on shaky ground anyways. He needed the career reinvention to stay on the tip top.

 

[Smart Marx]

It's so big this is the one thing WCW did WWE doesn't try to white wash it's history away.

 

[Smart Marx]

Hogan as a baby in WCW was DOA/

 

[Hoss]

I like to imagine Sting in the nWo keeping his spiked bleach blonde look, wearing black and white face paint like Luger is wearing tonight and taking on kind of James Dean vibe, since he has the California connection already.
