"Chris, you are marking out over here."
I sure as hell am, but nothing's wrong with that. There's too many smarks who look ONLY for workrate alone and take the negatives of every single situation.
'he alreeady did put the red and yellow back on already and it FLOPPED."
I don't think something that happened in WCW at that time can be compared to... Well to anything. Hulkster coming back to the WWF after a ten year hiatus (is that the right word?) going against Vince McMahon would be MONEY.
"Its old and cheesy"
That's what everyone says about every old angle. And how said you can't change it? I said make him a face again, not make him exactly what he was in 1992.
"But if they start building the NWO "B" team like they did in WCW, this will just fail eventually."
What's your point though?
"As for Flair not getting the same pop?"
If I'm marking out for Hogan, you're being an uber-mark for Flair here. Flair didn't get the same pop and he came back as a face.
"Flair was the FIRST heel to get face pops in the history of wrestling."
I hope you're kidding.
"Did Hogan inspire the entire wrestling fan community to spontaneously shout "WHOOOO!!" everytime anyone knife-edge chops someone? No, that was Flair"
So what, it's a catchy thing to do. Same way the fans will say "R...V...D!" whether or not Van Dam is a heel or face.
If Flair was as big a name as Hogan, then Vince would have got Flair to wrestle The Rock, and later I'm sure Austin, not Hogan.
"Plus Hogan might have dissed the crowd, but you could tell his heart wasn't in it."
Whoa, now you're just acting crazy. He blatantly made fun of them, mentioned Michael Jordan, and was acting as arrogant as hell, and just acting arrogant makes you an instant heel in most cases.
"no-matter what half-assed heel promo he gave."
Ahh, the truth comes out. You're just like 90% of all the other smarks. You won't give Hogan any credit at all. I don't know what standards you go by, but that promo was fantastic.
"Also, notice his chants didn't really get that loud until AFTER the Rock got in the ring and confronted him?"
That means nothing, they were showing that they liked Hogan and/or respected him over the Rock. If anything that works against your argument here.
"They were chanting for the match-up more than just for Hogan."
I guess that's why they were chanting "ROCKY SUCKS!" and bowing down to Hogan, not to mention chanting for Hogan before any match was made.
"The WWF knew this and thats why they fully debuted the NWO when they did. They didn't get that much of a reaction the night before in Jersey. Not even close."
No, they debuted them fully when they did because it was the night after the PPV that they interfered in the main event of...
They didn't get too big of a reaction because they didn't do much. On Raw, Hogan made his interview, they kicked the hell outta the Rock, Austin called them out, etc. And since when does it matter where they are? I guess Flair's pop in the Carolina's or any place he wrestled in earlier shouldn't count either.
"With that said, Hogan and The Rock will make for an ELECTRIC Wrestlemania. But the WWF will be hard pressed to keep the angle going after that. Hell, they had to wreck a Semi and an Ambulance to really get it started."
No they didn't, the crowd was going crazy during the Hogan/Rock interview, the beating was just a great addition.
