WCW should have gotten any last minute use of him in early 1998 and then had Sting vanquish him from WCW

 

[Ricky Smarks]

Rumor was WWF wanted him in 1998 and that's why WCW gave him all their money

 

[Keith]

WCW screwed Sting twice. Once with the Starrcade booking. Then giving him a short reign when he won it properly at Superbrawl.

 

[Ricky Smarks]

Imagine Hogan / Austin at Mania XV?

 

[Keith]

That would have been something for sure.

 

[Ricky Smarks]

WCW ruined Sting with the title rematch at SuperBrawl so I think it was a mercy flush by the time they took it off him at Spring Stampede. Sting wasn't as over as he was before the shenanigans.

 

[Keith]

True, but I think it was more that they saw Hogan as the long term champion. Wrongly in my opinion. Even before Hogan had creative control my guess is he still had a lot of power behind the scenes.

 

[Chris]

I can't imagine Hogan in that era WWF at all tbh, would have been a trip

 

[Chris]

Plus we would have missed out on the Kidman feud

 

[Ricky Smarks]

That would be a crime

 

[Hoss]

That was a strange feud and match

 

[Chris]

This Berlyn/Brad Armstrong feud

 

[Ricky Smarks]

I can't lie I do enjoy the fuck out of Kidman's heel shoot promo on Hogan on the night New Blood was formed

 

[Chris]

Virgil calling himself the sheriff from Blazing Saddles I fucking love the West Texas Rednecks

 

[Ricky Smarks]

Hennig/Windham was one of my favorite teams from that year
