No..they didn't benefit from it. They had to work hard to get fans to buy into those gimmicks and their work compared to a legendary NwO hot storyline on the other channel and in the end, fans chose Rock and Austin over Goldberg and the NwO. The NwO should of killed the WWF and been victorious but fans got really wild over that Tyson/Austin stuff and by the time the Rock got hot in 1999, it was definitely the end because fans were chanting "ROCKY" during WCW main events in the fall. The NwO kicked Bret Hart, Michaels, and Undertaker's ass. They slapped around the New Generation. That didn't ride on the Rock/Austin run...

Nope. Never happened.

Link it.

Believe it or not, I'm not your father. Those stories are legendary. It's no wonder Booker T wanted to design his career after Rock in 2000 with his emulating.

WCW Main events from that time can probably be found on Youtube. You have any specifically in mind we can go watch to find these "Rocky" chants?

I gave you a simple timeframe....the second half of 1999. It was just mentioned in the Wrestling Observer again during the ALL TIME low numbers that were brought up during the non Rock Raws of 2013 that were reviewed.

He can't get credit for that :laugh: Plus, that Summerslam matchup between the two could have been huge. I don't buy him helping Bret with the WCW contract cause he was gonna get that guap from Eric regardless.

This. Everyone thought Hitman was going to be the third member of the NWO. When he re-upped with Vince, they had to switch it up with either Hogan or Sting (if Hogan didn't want to turn heel at the last minute). I thought everyone knew that :ld:

If we are to believe Hogan than he indirectly made George Foreman wealthy after not answering the call about the Foreman (Hogan) grill.
