October 21, 201113 yr comment_5486353 Comparing Hogan v Kidman to HHH v Jericho is a mistake, as they are completely different formulas. Mike Awesome had just come to WCW from ECW where he had a series of heavily pimped matches opposite LSD. Kidman v Hogan was Hogan does ECW with shoot mic work and table spots. Basic concept is Mike Awesome made to look tough cause he can throw Spike Dudley around, Spike Dudley made to look tough cause he can take the beating. This is the model they were working from ( an ECW take on Cactus Jack looks tough or Michaels looks tough from level of beating type match) with the face-heel structure changed (so Kidman gets a Bs win on TV) and with Hogan and Kidman doing ECWish shoot mic work (that neither Awesome or LSD did in their ECW matches). Kidman worked more evenly opposite Horace Hogan over course of angle. But really the comparison to HHH v Jericho misses the structure of the match. The comparison should be to Spike v Awesome, I'd be interested to hear how Mike thinks those two series' stack up against each other.
