Luger beating Hogan for the belt, was the first time the nwo looked Vulnerable. Too bad luger jobbed 6 days later.
I was a huge Luger fan, especially when he battled the nwo. By then the only guys going heads up and looking strong against the nwo were Luger & DDP. Sting would do run-ins, but he wasn’t fighting the nWo in matches
If the end game was to put the belt on booker t, why not just feud book/hulk. Hulk had no problems putting over scott steiner and ddp. He also really liked booker.
Kidman had less charisma than roderick strong and he was just a spot monkey who botched his own finisher. No way wcw could have done anything with kidman
Booker/Hogan with hogan as a heel would have worked way better
The more i watch the jericho thing, the more i love it. I gotta admit, the mark in me was a little salty at first, but after watching it again, and watching the backstage segment, it’s really brilliant. I just hope he follows it up as a super-mega-troll-heel as opposed to the stiff suit, slow talking complex heel.
I could imagine Ono at CES with the gems build, wearing Jericho’s Jacket, while everyone is cheering him. Then he starts running around yelling “YEA GEMS” “GEMS BABY” “YEA YEA” “SO OUTRAGEOUS” then when ppl are playing the gem build he starts running around smiling and then after 10 minutes of playing they boo him, and he just smiles and lights up his jacket and shows Blanka toy.
kidman was a jabroni, so to the fans of wcw that whole era of wcw of worked shoots sucked. I mean they had an episode of thunder dedicated to shoot interviews
Really how is the dude who was riding on konnan and rey mysterio’s coat tails all of a sudden going to feud with hulk hogan?
Boogey I like you, but I was a big Kidman mark and that is heresy talk. I’d like to see Hogan get his skinny fatass up on the ropes and do a middle rope shooting star press.
Sure, he was a spot monkey but most of the Cruiser division was and Kidman could perform, I think he was second to Rey in the little® man department. Also I never really liked Konnan, I always imagined he’d break into my home and steal my television.
I mean kidman was never going to be believable against hulk hogan
I mean at the time Booker T, Scott Steiner, Mike Awesome, heck even shane douglas would have been more believable opponents, plus douglas could go all ecw promo and just dig deep into insulting hulk hogan like he did ric flair. Not to mention lance storm, who was fucking awesome winning all the titles. Plus storm could carry hulk To good matches in 2002 and 2003, so no doubt he could make him look good in 2000.
Kidman was way under rey, juvy, and alex wright as far as cruiserweight tiers in late 90s wcw
I mean i remember they put kidman through a gauntlet for no reason in wcw on ppv when he was a heel.
