[1997-02-17-WCW-Nitro] Hulk Hogan interview

[Loss]

Talk about it here.

Hogan is gloating about Piper at SuperBrawl, and Sting and Savage are quickly out. Sting is about to confront Hogan when he says he put WCW on the map and Savage whispers something in his ear to make him stop.

Cool that Sting looked like he had enough and was about to escalate the issue until Savage convinces him otherwise. Hulk did a good job of quickly wrapping up his promo once they ran short on time.

[Kevin Ridge]

Not sure why Sting didn't confront Hogan during this but it was effective in building to the rest of the year. They were wrapping up Hogan by playing his music.

Liz is there and is still unhappy.

Solid Hogan promo, who kinda makes up for the awful Piper one. Sting and Savage showing up, this time Savage prevents Sting from taking actions. I wonder why...

[PeteF3]

Shorter than the usual Hogan promo, presumably because they were running behind. Hogan was graciously prepared to wrestle Piper tonight, if only Piper wasn't locked away in Alcatraz. The presence of Savage and Sting, with Savage calling Sting off, adds a bit of intrigue to wrap up a...well, I can't say "lackluster" considering all the stuff they threw at us, but definitely a misfire of a Nitro.

Fairly standard Hollywood promo, but standard for him at this point is better than most folks' best. I don't actually remember when Savage turns heel (I know it's before Spring Stampede, obviously), so I'm guessing this was another hint that it might be coming soon...

I have really come around to Hogan as a promo.  He's got that coked out, 1980s style that Piper has but with enough discipline to make it work in a shortened amount of time.
