[1998-11-16-WCW-Nitro] More Hulk Hogan for President

[Loss]

Talk about it here.

Hogan is now using "Hail To The Chief" as his entrance music. The ring fills with red, white and blue balloons and a flag drops from the Nitro stage. They did it above the ring the week before, but ended up obstructing the view of so many fans that I guess they thought better of it this week. He brings out his new intern and it's a Monica Lewinsky lookalike. Okay then. Tony won't let Bobby make any jokes. She even brings a cigar with her. This is supposed to be funny? Hogan asks Bischoff to come out to bask in the moment with him. Bischoff is still selling the frustration from the earlier segment. Bischoff tells Hogan if he has faith in anything, it's in Hulk's ability to take care of business. Scott Hall comes out and wants to confront Bischoff on where his head is. Why? Bischoff points out that him asking that question of all people is funny, and he is spot on on that one. Hall isn't dropping the issue and Bischoff says they can take care of this (what is this?) off camera. Hall slugs Bischoff and gets attacked from behind by Hogan. Nash makes the save and runs Hogan off before telling Hall he'll see him on Sunday. This was to set up Hall as a loner who had no friends, but it felt awfully abrupt. Maybe it's something new booker Nash wanted to take care of right away? I don't know.

ugh, we get a Monica impersonation and Hogan says nothing of note. Hulk brings out Scott Hall who has some words at Bischoff. Why does Hall have beef here? Anyway, he decks Bischoff and then Hogan attacks him. Nash comes out to run them off but is still not all buddies with Hall. This felt dumb and Hall talking out of his ass.

This is so, so, SO bad. The bloom is so far off the Hogan rose that it can barely be described. The Hall turn(?) doesn't make much sense either, with his motivations being pretty much nonexistent.
