He was a very close friend of Bischoff's.

Whatever Nash had/did, it worked, and it got him over in the beginning of one of pro-wrestling’s hottest angles in history.
There’s still conflicting accounts of how much power he later had as booker.
Regardless of who booked what and when, Nash was just another of many victims of lame-ass angles that were forced on everybody in the company during that time.

________________________ _________________


Ultimate Warrior had potential - primarily the look that gave Vince instant wood.
UW’s problem was that he thought he was too good for the business and refused to learn and improve.
His ego finally got in the way of business, and the biggest fortune he made in the industry was when he sued Vince over his character’s name & likeness.

________________________ ______________________


Hogan was the right gimmick in the right place at the right time.
He and the old man capitalized on that.
Vince had the vision…Hogan delivered the goods.
Sure, it disgusted some of the purists, but purists make up a very small percentage of a billion-dollar mainstream fan base.

________________________ _______________________


Goldberg was pushed too much, too soon.
He may have been the greenest champion in a major company - hurting other guys AND himself.
Once he became a “Rock Star,” nobody dared tell him anything.
They just all tied their assholes in knots to please him & kiss his ass, and that’s why Bill never got better.

I agree with Nash, he's so fucking annoying, acting like the godfather of wrestling, he got big in the  early 90's and
he's trying to sound like he had Hogan like influence and draw, give me a break! every interview I've seen of him I just want to knock the guy out he's got his head so far up his own ass it's ridiculous

All decent choices. I think if Warrior's Ego didnt get in the way he could have been as big as Hogan.

I remember reading that when they were looking at the "saving grace" back in 83, it was Hogan and someone else (cant remember who)..anyone remember who this other person was...


Also Jack Swagger, pushed him too fast but of course he crashed and burned

A true tidbit....

DDP was and is a close personal friend of Eric Bishoff. He was making 900,000 dollars a year on pen and paper to hide his true salary....he was really making 1,500,000 per yr.

Not to mention what his old lady was making.

He was one of the hardest workers and a good heel in WCW post 1996. However I don't think he should have gotten paid 1.5mil per year. No way Jose.

When he was making his title run, he was about as over as anyone I ever saw.

That statement just reminded me of the Zbyszko vs Bischoff match for Nitro, brilliant end to the match

They were but then again WCW could easily afford it. They were making ten times more in the TV turnaround payouts especially when they were dominating the ratings. That's why so many people jumped ship to WCW back in the day.
