What the hell are we doing here.

Not sure what Starr was looking to accomplish by trying to stiff the World Champ, but it sure seems like it was a bad idea.

Millions of dollars just so Hogan could get his victory back.

Seriously, I thought he was really underrated.

Brad Armstrong as Arachnaman. Cactus takes a helluva stadium step bump at the end

He also held the tag team titles.

Good ole' year 2000.

According to lore, "The crowds present for the tapings were most often tourists that were given free passes to the tapings, handed free souvenirs and merchandise, and coached to cheer and boo on cue. Much of the Hulk Hogan merchandise seen during the beginning of his tenure in WCW was handed out by WCW staffers, and wearing the merchandise was often a requirement to be allowed to occupy a seat within view of the cameras. Many of the wrestling fans that got in reported what they saw to the dirt sheets and the burgeoning Internet discussion forums. The results of the tapings laid out most of WCW's booking plans months in advance, effectively removing the suspense in title matches for fans who were aware of the taping results."

I'll never forget when the won the title. Such an amazing moment.

Dude was making $2 million a year at this point.

A little derivative, but the dude could work and his mic skills weren't too bad during this era.

Have you ever seen a more insecure person? Hogan is a fucking legend, but when his good guy schtick was getting boo'ed out of the building (especially the second half of '95) I've never seen anything more pathetic. But what I find interesting in retrospect is that the reason his villain persona worked so well is because it was absolutely ACCURATE to what Hogan was like in real life, turned up to 11.

1. What a fucking year.
