Did Hogan Hold Macho Man Back?

[The Amerikkkan Idol]

I was just thinkin' about this.

He only beat "Million Dollar Man" at Wrestlemania IV with the help of Hogan, which didn't make him look strong. Eventually, he ends up dropping the belt to Hogan, the guy who helps him win it.

They only let Mach go over on the outside Ric Flair for the world title, because he was a WCW guy, not a WWF guy

And why the fukk would Macho Man join the NWO after Hogan betrayed him at "Bash At The Beach" and had Big Show chokeslam him at "Halloween Havoc"? Then the NWO whoops his ass for months and he joins them?

Wouldn't it have been better for business to have Macho Man be the champion of the WCW side and get a clean pin on "Hollywood" Hogan?

I mean, Savage couldn't even get a "dirty" pin on Hogan while he was champ in the NWO.

It just seems like Hogan was never gonna let Mach go over on him for real and had to kind of dampen his push everytime he got some shine.

I know Hogan had create control throughout his career, so it can't be by accident.

I love Hogan, but He's wrong for that.

simply put, yes.

 

[Bob Loblaw]

terrible thing to do to your greatest rival but hey its not show friends its show business

 

[Kill Dat Noize]

and i went through great pains to elaborate it in this thread

there's no reason why hogan and savage couldn't have had 2-3 big time classic matches during that time period, but it's kind of hard to do so after you cut off randy's balls in match number 1.

This site is full of the biggest idiots on the planet. You don't know shyt about Hulk and what he does. Macho Man wouldn't be Macho Man without The Hulkster.

My uncle gave him that Slim Jim deal. They wanted Terry, brother. You don't think they really wanted the guy with the streamer jacket?

You people here disgust me.

 

[showtime]

Yes he was jealous of Savage and Elizabeth and was protecting his spot

Fools really questioning if Hoegan held someone back?

Sometimes I feel like Macho held himself back too. Just because he obviously had more than one screw loose

Back then WWE didn't care how crazy you were. Hogan did hold Savage back and it's clear as day. Anyone with any sense could see that there was crazy money in Hogan/Savage. It wasn't like Savage wasn't drawing, Hogan could get whatever he wanted at that time and he should have said "I'm not winning" and let Savage go over. He shouldn't have even sniffed that title again until the SummerSlam along with Warrior not losing the IC Title and then Warrior winning the Rumble. Hogan finnaly beats Savage at SummerSlam, they fued (with Hogan winning by DQ to keep Savage strong and a heel) then at the Rumble Hogan beats Savage by reversing a dirty tactic by Savage. Warrior wins Rumble leading up to Mania 6 and we have Warrior/Hogan with Savage waiting for the winner because he never truly lost his "rematch".

Savage/Hogan/Warrior could have carried WWE for a long ass time...even considering Warrior being an a$$hole and everything he did Savage should have been 1B (ala SC and Rock) not what he was relegated to.

I WANTED TO PUT RANDY OVER, BUT VINCE FELT HE WASN'T CONNECTING WITH THE FANS, BROTHER! MACHO SUGGESTED THAT HE WOULD PLAY SECOND FIDDLE AND THEN GET A BIG WIN OVER ME IN 30 YEARS FOR A NOSTALGIA POP, DUDE! IT'S A SHAME HE GOT IN THAT CAR CRASH, MEAN GENE! I KNOW HE JUST HAD THE BRAKES FIXED AT THE SHOP OWNED BY BRIAN KNOBBS, BROTHER!

perhaps but i disagree..his "madness" was a huge role in him getting over in the first place

Macho is still the 3rd greatest ever behind Hogan and Flair.
