Blowing this match for free on Smackdown was incredibly stupid
WWE had an embarrassment of talent during this time period.

Hulk was due time off and they wanted him to put some over while they had the chance

Brock lesnar is such a beast.

You get Hulk Hogan to do a job for you WHENEVER you get the chance. Hogan and The Rock were gonna be gone for months, and with Hogan you cannot be sure if he's even coming back, and if he is, if he's putting someone over, or if he'll just pull what he did with HBK at Summerslam. In the case of Hogan, you use him for what you can when you have him, you cannot trust him with any sort of long term plan. Remember, this run of his ended with him quitting in the middle of the Mr. America run.Hoegan losing CLEAN isn't some bullshyt you just get over with with no buildup
Ain't that why Austin walked out?Hoegan losing CLEAN isn't some bullshyt you just get over with with no buildup

No Hogan was supposed to lose here, go away for months, and then vignettes showing him training to take on Lesnar were supposed to start leading to match at Summerslam or Royal Rumble.
Hogan learned he was going to lose again, and he scrapped the whole angle.

He didn't, after he went face shyt got corny real quick and he was getting those CDQ chants heavy
Yeah and I don't blame him, wasting Austin/Brock on a random RAW match with zero buildup is some classic trash Bischoff WCW booking

Survivor Series 2002 actually
....so they let Big Show beat him instead. I would argue it would have been interesting seeing Hogan do another heel turn and work with Heyman for a short stint but that would never happen
