What if hogan never went to wcw

Imo if hogan stays his politics forces other wrestlers such as da kliq as a whole henning possibly bret hart Owen hart hell da whole hart for foundation and others sick of being held back by hogan 2 wcw. Austin stays n wcw or ecw as well as ecw probably never loses benoit guerrerro malenko jericho etc.

Da streak probably never happens nwo is lead by sting maybe if it ain't hbk bret or nash. If Austin or foley ever do make it 2 wwe they would never b more than ic champions or transition champions at best. No kane. Ubermensch Pre-Show Stalwart.

The WWE was going in a new direction with newer guys. With Hogan still there that meant that he would either have taken a backseat unlikely , or start putting newer generation guys over.

My guess is that Hogan would have pulled much the same as he did in WCW and let his ego keep guys like Hart down. Remember him coming in after Hart's match with Yokozuna? The key thing is to think about what guys still went where regardless of Hogan's actions and how that effected the main event scene. WCW 1. As we saw with Savage's disappointment with his announcing gig, he would have left regardless of Hogan and the effects on the company chronologically.

Luger would have left WWF much earlier. He was still the narcissist at the Wrestlemania that Savage commentated at, and Hogan came in after Bret lost. His biggest accomplishment in the WWF was his Yokozuna feud. If Hogan stayed, no doubt his feud would have been extended Hogan's rematch with yokozuna was his last in the WWF. Hogan would have never let Luger become the rehash of his All American gimmick with a better body.

The only other scenario would be heel Luger as the Narcissistic feuding with face Hogan which may have been interesting. The Horsemen.

Probably would have reformed regardless being the WCW's bread and butter heel stable. The Dungeon of Doom. May or may not have existed. Without Hogan's baby face to combat these cartoonish evildoers it's difficult to say. Sting may have been the focus of their wrath. The NWO, would probably have happened regardless.

Did the NWO need Hogan? Difficult to say. The NWO revamped everyone's gimmicks, including Hogan's. The NWO angle probably wouldn't have lasted as long, however that would probably have been a good thing. He would have been a good front man for the NWO as he was with the Wolfpac split.

Maybe Hall as well. Whether or not Savage joined up would be largely conjecture. The Giant would have probably still jumped ship with the demise of the Dungeon of Doom. WWF 1. As stated, Hart would have been overshadowed as a babyface by Hogan. If he eventually started the Hart Foundation up, their anti-American angle may have played well as heels against him. More than likely, the HBK match would have never happened at Wrestlemania. May have continued to be pushed as heel.

I don't see Hogan interfering too much with this. Probably would have still been pushed as a heel. I see Hogan and him having a long feud. Hogan may replace Hart during his feud with Austin and that would have been interesting as well. An era that was typified by being the antithesis of babyfaces and cartoonish heels.

Hogan turning heel to a WWF audience would have been more dramatic, but more difficult to pull than his WCW heel turn. Remember, Hogan was still a headliner even well into the Attitude era. With Hogan out of the WCW, you have a host of main eventers who haven't had a problem putting younger guys over. WCW would have been more sustainable in the long run.

Hogan would have either had to retire during the Attitude era, heel turn, or the Attitude era would have not existed, because he would not as the face of the company, allow it.

I highly doubt the nWo would have happened aswell, so much was down to Hogan signing for WCW initially that had a knock on effect on both companies. The attitude era was a direct response to what WCW was doing. I also still think WCW wouldn't have been around still, the biggest thing that went against the company were the higher ups hated wrestling and wanted it off the air.

They succeeded in doing so in the end and would have anyway. You must log in or sign up to post here. Show Ignored Content. Share This Page Tweet.

Hogan should have won, proving that his past can never catch up to him while waiting on a younger hero to emerge.

And when the two were set to do battle again at The Main Event , expectations were high. That night, Andre won the belt, thanks to a screwy twin referee finish, but he still won the belt. But it was all too much of a gimmick. Hogan should have won and then faced Savage in back-to-back WrestleMania main events. The Undertaker is to WWE what heartbeats are to humankind. It's been that kind of relationship, the kind that maintains.

But despite The Undertaker's unwavering commitment to his relationship with McMahon, the decision to place the belt on him at Survivor Series felt a little rushed. When someone is heard discussing the doomed run of The Ultimate Warrior, it should never be taken as a criticism, but rather, cold hard fact.

He just wasn't good. Was this supposed to be a passing of the torch moment? But if The Ultimate Warrior was handed any kind of torch, the flame was quickly fading.

Hulk Hogan was the professor, Warrior was the frat boy. All told, Warrior's reign as champion was lackluster, and probably never should have happened in the first place. He lost the title to Bruno Sammartino a month later on May 17, , after suffering a heart attack shortly before the match. To accommodate Rogers' condition, the match was booked to last under a minute. The change was purely cosmetic, and the ownership and front office personnel remained unchanged during this period.

Several promotions were very upset when McMahon Sr. To make matters worse, McMahon used the income generated by advertising, television deals, and tape sales to poach talent from rival promoters.

Vinny Mac had a huge ambition. He dreamed of the WWF being known world-wide. I don't think Hogan would have ever turned heel under Vince. Mar 6, GMT -5 Deco said:. ClassicFan2 Main Eventer.

Yeah it's like he's still bitter about Montreal or something.

What happened? Mar 7, GMT -5 Hulkster likes this. Mar 7, GMT But would they do the whole he's Andre's son gimmick?
