Loss Posted August 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2014 Savage wants Hogan in the ring tonight. That was the match they ran the week after RAW broke their ratings streak and they drew an impressive 6.5 quarter off of the main event. So they went back to it and this time it didn't work. Even though WCW needed to push new stars, prostituting such a marquee match for ratings instead of saving it for something special is silly. They acted like the sky was falling because suddenly the WWF was competitive in the ratings instead of just re-thinking their approach and slowly moving in a new direction.

Childs Posted September 3, 2014 Report Share Posted September 3, 2014 It no longer felt like a marquee match at all, which I'm sure they couldn't grasp inside their bubble. The motivations were so muddy, and neither guys had done anything interesting in the ring in months. Who the hell would choose to watch this over Austin-McMahon?

soup23 Posted September 6, 2014 Report Share Posted September 6, 2014 Agreed that it was one too many times to the well for this match. Savage tries to justify why the match needs to happen in this promo but it doesn't work even though the crowd live is jacked as could be.

PeteF3 Posted May 28, 2016 Report Share Posted May 28, 2016 Fuck, I didn't want to see Hogan vs. Savage again the *last* time they were pushing it--I know that put me in the minority compared to the 1998 audience, but enough already.

TravJ1979 Posted August 30, 2016 Report Share Posted August 30, 2016 Good promo by Savage, but I'd rather watch Val Venis vignettes than this match. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
