Hogan winning that Undisputed title

Damn that Backlash Buy Rate

That match did suck mind. Personally I would have had Jericho retain at Mania and then drop it to Hogan. Match would have been better and the heel character Jericho was playing would have put Hogan's win over more, but also kept him at a decent level.

 

[Deezy]

Simply because Triple H not being a bigger returning star than Hogan.....Everyone seems to remember Trips getting that pop at MSG, but Hogan was getting that everywhere when he returned with the nWo, not to mention he got that 10 minute standing ovation in Montreal...This is an example of a WWE kneejerk reaction.

^Without doubt we agree on that one.
