The day wrestling died

Stevetty thought he could start a second wrestling boom by turning heel like the GOAT Hogan but instead managed to kill wrestling in the mainstream forever

Hogan never decided anything he was getting booed and wasn't drawing as a face anymore

i'ts like his made the decision himself he had no choice

The actual day it died.

When did I say it was Hogans idea? Austin was the one who made the call to turn heel because Vince had nothing big planned for Mania that year, and he figured since he was such a beloved face he would get huge heat like Hogan

just sounds like your making Austin sound like a idiot for turning (he was) but you're making it seem like Hogan was a genius to turn even though he was forced into it

hi

No I never said Hogan wasn't forced into it but to this day he remains the only wrestler to cause two booms, whether it was his intention or not


Austins heel turn makes even less sense with the fact that it was in Texas, he was beating the fuck out of Rock with a chair with Vince and getting cheered. I will never understand what he was thinking except possibly he felt his career and health were winding down and he wanted a big top heel run

Hogan is a genius for making it work

And he was only booed in smark towns. He was still over as fuck especially when he had a chair. Hell he gets a face pop when he shows up at bash

he already earned more money than he could ever spend and he always said he enjoyed working heel
