Didn't help they had him come and feud with WCW Flair and Sting he ain't getting over with the crowd vs those two. You got a guy that didn't lose the WWF title legit come in legit and make him some half ass Hoegan stooge. They should've had Bret swerve Hulk and gave us a legit Hoegan vs Hart match that we never got in WWF instead they wasted it on a throwaway nitro just to build to another Hart switch he turned heel/face so much early on it made no damn sense.
Hoegan squashed all that, which is why Bret still doesn't like his oompa loompa tanned ass
Hogan always resented Bret. So even if they had grand plans, Hulk would've vetoed them anyway. In Bret book he mentions how he had to lobby hard for the steel plate angle and they were gonna have Hulk leave him(Bret) laid out after the spear tackle incident.
This is exactly why I said they shouldn't have even introduced Bret in WCW until they were in Canada. You do it that way and you can continue the shyt that was going on in WWF, allow Bret to shyt on WWF and Hogan at the same time.
He could have been like "fukk WWF, Vince and you too Hogan for helping build that piece of shyt company". Have him run down Hogan in Canada the entire time he is there and while on tour he wins that belt and leaves Canada as champion.
To appease Hogan you tell him "you're going to get the belt back as soon as we get back to the states and you're going to terrorize Bret along with your goons until we go back in a couple months". That way Hogan, NWO and Bret all stay strong.
Bret is the focal point of WCW because he has come in and immediately feuded with Hogan and NWO so the roster gets behind him in Canada and when he returns back to the US because NWO beats the fukk out of him causing him to lose the title. Announcers put the shyt over as Bret coming in and being the force that finally got WCW back on track in the "war with NWO", Hogan doesn't bytch because he's right there in the mix and continues to hold the strap and WCW keeps bringing money in from the US and now the tours they have to run every couple of months in Canada because of Bret.
shyt you even take Jericho, Benoit and Malenko and have Bret form a new Foundation. Call them the Dungeon Family or some shyt. WCW fukked that shyt all up and Hogan played a part but they could have made it happen
