So even tho Warrior won
Hoegan comes of as the sympathetic babyface
Basically killing off Warrior run before it even got going
Making it all about himself with how :mjcry::mjcry::mjcry:ihe was looking.
@R=G Hoegan tried to pull this same shyt with Rock
:mjgrin:Meltzer Rocky beat Hoegan at his own game in the rematch

Man I never had a problem with this.

Its a babyface vs babyface fight. It should end with one of them being sympathetic, feeling humbled cause he lost clean doing the sportsmanship thing and give the belt and a hug

You wanna be mad at someone, be mad at Dunn for keeping the camera on him as he was riding back to the locker and to Vince for trademarking everyone to call him the Immortal Hulk Hogan after the loss.

I kinda call bullshyt on people saying this killed Warrior's run. Like when people say that I really feel like they worked themselves into obtusely hating Hogan as a character and backstage politician more than was already justifiable.

Warrior's act just kinda ran thin thats all

Funny you throw Rocky in there cos Bruce Prichard said Rocky tried to say New dudes didn't have it to make it,a reason why some these fatherless fakkits hate hbgoat cos he said same about flex kavana.
Funny that.

Same. Given how massive Hogan was, how big of a deal it was to see him lose cleanly, it made a lot of sense to focus a bunch on him. I'd do the same, if I was booking. Even keeping the camera on Hogan as he exited was good. They left it too long, but it was great for drama and emotion.

This. There's a lot of times you can say Hogan did things to keep the spotlight on himself, but this wasn't one of those times. It was meant to be him passing it on and showing that the Warrior was the man now. It just turned out the Warrior wasn't a long-running type of guy, he really wasn't set up well after Mania, and Hogan wasn't gonna dip far down the card. So as long as they had to co-exist as the top guys, it was never gonna be all about Warrior. I can say from experience, Warrior's rise to champion was way more exciting than AFTER he became champion.

It was a passing of the torch and Warrior's run afterwards was underwhelming. House show business went down too if I remember correctly.

Warrior wasn't set up to succeed following defeating Hogan, that's what hurt him, they had nowhere to go after really.

He had no immediate rivals other than lands he'd already conquered Perfect, Rude like Meltzer said.

He needed Undertaker who was unfortunately in WCW Mid card hell at the time, Jake Roberts, Macho Man who they were kinda using in 1990. Basically the people he would feud with a year or so later

shyt even a Bret Hart who was a year away from being able to carry him along in ring etc

Even with his me me me attitude at the time he coulda succeeded with the right dance partners.

what a dumbass opinion

was face vs face and ended the way it should have

warrior ended up sadly shooting himself in the foot by having numerous issues with Vince, that while Warrior was probably in the right he could have handled better to not hurt his career.

and as puppetmaster said he needed a blockbuster fued going forward and I guess they didn't want the re-match at WM 7 and felt Hogan was a better face to rep the gulf war angle
