Seriously, I cannot tell you how many Nitros and RAWs there are in the attitude era that are just... awful, awful, awful.

popular doesnt always mean good

Hogan maybe less so, but that scenario was definitely Verne Gagne being stubborn and not really thinking proactively.

To expound on this, it's was probably likely even if Verne offered Hogan a friendlier deal, he might have still gone to WWF.

Well, you could say Vince's mishandling of Hall and Nash is what helped WCW get to that place. Just cause, honestly, the Outsiders is what set WCW on that upward trajectory.

Is it true Verne wanted Hogan to go back to the AWA with the WWWF Championship? Or something like that I think the story goes

That's actually not quite true tbf, WCW's house show and television ratings started jumping up as soon as the Flair/Savage feud started happening. The Outsiders and nWo though brought in a lot of WWF fans tho.
