Loss Posted August 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2014 Bret wants to talk to Hogan face-to-face and explain himself. Hogan doesn't get much reaction in Norfolk. Bret tells Hogan how much he admires him and talks about how he's the highest paid wrestler in the history of wrestling. He also calls him the most recognizable wrestler ever. Hogan cuts him off and tells him he appreciates him setting the record straight. Just as Bret is about to explain himself, Savage attacks him. The NWO ends up saving Bret. This was supposedly going to be a slow build to Bret-Hogan at Starrcade, but what a shitty way to go in that direction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soup23 Posted September 1, 2014 Report Share Posted September 1, 2014 I see the slow build here but damn does Bret still feel lost and now randy has a huge problem with him. Bret still wasn't able to explain himself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteF3 Posted May 26, 2016 Report Share Posted May 26, 2016 Seems like they're going to go with the idea of Bret wanting to beat Hogan for the title, but Savage interrupts in a pretty groanworthy development. You really risk pissing fans off when you fuck them over too many times, and the fact that the reason isn't really all that consequential--this isn't like revealing the Greater Power or Vince's first professional match or even the identity of the Hummer driver--actually makes it *more* annoying that we don't get a payoff rather than less. Why was Savage not out the previous week to confront Bret? Best I can figure, the only answer to that is, "Because there wouldn't be a closing segment tonight." Which is pretty shitty storytelling.

TravJ1979 Posted July 19, 2016 Report Share Posted July 19, 2016 Aborted angles. Add incomplete main event segments that border on false advertising and you sum up 1998 WCW pretty well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
