January 1, 201114 yr Author comment_5461333 Gene Okerlund announces that the main event will be Sting/Luger/Savage vs Hall/Nash/mystery partner for Bash at the Beach. He explains that in order to pick the wrestlers who would face the three outsiders, they drew three names from the top six WCW wrestlers. Funny to hear Hogan get booed very loudly. I can't overstate this enough. This really seemed like a time period when Hogan's usefulness in wrestling was done and WCW seemed fine moving on without him. Interesting what would end up happening.
January 19, 201114 yr comment_5462305 Hogan was shit on big time by the fans. You think they might have put his name next to the Giant knowing he was going to get booed so they might trick the fans into thinking that people were booing the Giant.
February 6, 201411 yr comment_5586573 But who the third man will be ? Shawn Michaels ? 1-2-3 Kid ? British Bulldog ?? Anyway, Hogan's name being booed out of the building clearly shows he was the absolute perfect choice for the angle. You want to boo him ? We'll give you a reason. (Cena anyone ?)
February 18, 201510 yr comment_5654826 Big pop for Flair, big boos for Hogan. Horsemen Country, baby. Gene sets the Bash at the Beach main event.
May 27, 201510 yr comment_5670503 Gene announces the main event. This seems like a good spot by him but something in the delivery didn't quite carry the gravity that they hoped. Maybe it was just an off crowd, but this wasn't the slam dunk everything else in this angle has been up to this point.
November 11, 20177 yr comment_5819673 The crowd doesn't like to hear Hogan's coming back and who can blame them? At this point you hope he stays away forever. Watching WCW these last two months or so and seeing how good a lot of things were going even before the NWO angle, I am wondering how things would have turned out if he just stayed gone, even for all the good he would do over the next year and a half.
January 4Jan 4 comment_6026824 The boos for Hogan were indeed great (and deserved). He really had been the worst part of the show while he was there. And he was dragging a lot of people down with him. Good segment, but I'll agree it was not as strong as every NWO segment that came before it.
