The Trial of Hulk Hogan (Podcast Question)

[Mad Dog]

I'm going to give this a listen at work tomorrow.

I thought the five of you did great work with this. Both sides presented well-reasoned arguments and I feel like the verdict was right. I was also very impressed with the use of TNA as a way to show Hogan's pattern and reinforce earlier points rather than any kind of damning evidence in and of itself.

 

My feeling is that Hogan was the lynch pin, but Bischoff's lack of any kind of control and Nash's selfishness and negligence only compounded the problem. Add in the fact that WCW had been a case of the inmates running the asylum for some time and I think we've got it. Ultimately it is impossible to lay the blame at the feet of any one person, but I think Hogan takes the lion's share.

 

Thanks very much - greatly appreciated. I will say that the TNA point as a standalone argument for irreparable damage isn't strong, ditto Arsenio, but I thought they could have contributed enough and cast enough doubt, to make up for some of the ambiguity of Hogan's role in pretty much running WCW and overextended his personal "creative control" clause. Judge Karl did text me the next day, questioning his own verdict, so I'm going to call him on that ¬_¬
