[1997-01-20-WCW-Nitro] Interview: Hulk Hogan

[Loss]

Talk about it here.

There are stars, then there's Hulk Hogan. He's having the time of his life heeling it up in front of a rabid United Center crowd.

 

The Giant quickly interrupts but is held off by security. Nash, who is at the announce booth, said he would go down but he has a gas bubble. The show goes off the air right as Giant breaks through security to get to the ring.

Hogan does look amazing coming out here. He doesn't say much but the crowd is insanely electric. Before he is able to say a ton, the Giant runs out and we go to black right as him and Hogan are about to go at it. Two great Monday Night shows.

Maybe NWO was getting too big with the mid card additions but it is still strong at the top with Hogan. He cuts a fun, arrogant, over the top promo in front of a rabid crowd.

[El-P]

Heated segment. The build to Souled out has been pretty efficient as far as the main event goes.

[PeteF3]

Hogan cuts sort of an '80s Hogan exaggeration-filled promo talking about using his pythons to land a 747 at O'Hare. Then he starts to say something about the Giant's mother, which brings the Giant out only to be held back by security. He breaks through just as we go off the air.

Hogan's "let him through! Get in here!" as Giant has no chance of being let through or actually getting in there ruled. He's the best character in the US right now and the whole ambiance of the nWo promos with the single spotlight and surrounding darkness is great. Both of the Monday flagship shows knocked it out the park this week.

Hogan as a heel is super fun.  He's ridiculously over the top whether he's melting down after his loss or piling on the nonsense and verbal abuse when he knows he is safe.  I'll agree that him screaming for security to let the Giant through is fantastic.
