I didn't think Hogan's signing was a huge boon for WCW financially, considering how much they paid him. He did bring a lot more eyes to the product but the more devoted WCW fans considered him an outsider and didn't want to support him over guys like Flair and Sting regardless of how much WCW pushed Hogan. Where it started to reap dividends was his heel turn and I think more specifically bringing in Hall and Nash. Once the NWO took off, that's when the company really started to turn a profit even with the big contracts handed out. Goldberg's rise also was huge but buy rates and profits weren't through the roof after Hogan signed initially and as far into 1995.
The worst part is Bischoff has Foley and Austin right there, ugh, NWO should have died after Starcade as Hall and Nash boot Hogan from NWO and they do something else
Yeah Hogan was terrible as the red and yellow in WCW, the gimmick had gotten very stale by that point. He was getting booed by a fair chunk of the WCW fans by the end of his face run. Game changing and revolutionary as Hollywood in the nWo though.
WCW at it's hottest was literally the Golden Era WWF roster. Scott Hall - Razor Ramon Kevin Nash - Diesel Hulk Hogan Randy Savage Wall Street - IRS Shark - Earthquake Shock master - Typhoon Virgil - Vincent Big Bubba Rogers - Bossman Ted DiBiase Lex Luger Sid Bobby Heenan Greg Valentine Rick Rude One Man Gang Jim Duggan Jimmy Hart Jim Neidhart Roddy Piper Kamala Nasty Boys Ahmed Johnson Bam Bam Bigelow Bryan Clark - Adam Bomb Brian Adams - Crush Curt Hennig - Mr. Perfect Davey Boy Smith - British Bulldog Dusty Rhodes El Gigante - Giant Gonzalez Junkyard Dog I don't think I should go on, lol
Hell of a list lol...and everyone one of em was a nWo member at some point....lol hell nWo let everybody in...i remember when me and my 5th grade teacher were both members lol
My buddy and I used to watch RAW and flip to Nitro, or vice versa depending on the storyline. Warrior showing up had us on the edge of our seats…. What a bad memory that match was.
Unpopular opinion but I think Sid had a better run in WCW than in WWE, he still had some pretty good matches in both companies and his two best matches were also in each company respectively
There is literally nothing unpopular about that. Anyone with a couple of brain cells can see that Sid was a much bigger deal in WCW, even though they were responsible for his injury.
Looking that part of Rick Rude part...the stable he was part of was amazing. Paul E as the mouth piece with Bobby Eaton, AA, Rude, Larry Zbyszko, and Stunning Steve. Look at how much past, current, and future star power it had, knowing what we know now.
The Dangerous Alliance is one of the greatest heel stables of all time. Don't believe me? Just look at the legends in that stable and then you'll know why.
Scott hall should have been number 1 not just because he recently passed, but we all know the best promo of all time is “ you know who I am, but you don’t know why I’m here”
Sadly though this was awesome it ultimately ruined WCW's momentum especially with the failures of Bret and Warrior. WWE had this problem, and TNA had this problem and now both are unwatchable. I'm worried this might happen to AEW given the momentum they now have.
One advantage I could see AEW having is their : willingness to work with other companies, the embrace of the Indy wrestlers (who bring creativity and such), and it’s a cycle thing so it’s not unsaid that there is a chance AEW does come crashing down, but for now I think their crowds are better
If I hear that Bret Hart, one of only nine WCW Triple Crown Champions, didn't get a good run in WCW one more time, I swear... I don't know what lol but damn it people there are only nine of them!
Lugar should not have won the title (make it non title and then don’t screw up the Sting match (should have been Sting drops from ceiling, wallops Hogan, bell rings, multiple death drops and a death lock and boom hogan loses cleanly,)
But should have become.unshelled dark type Hitman diecieves the nwo and goes thru the nwo to take the belt has hogan pinned and a strong heel turn in the hitman bomb babay yeat long feud ending in a triple threat to last title match
I like kevin nash but I don't think that he was a bigger star than Scott hall. You can say that they were even. Even though I know that nash had multiple worlds titles and Scott had none
why do you always say that about Bret Hart and the too good to turn doen thing.. it's well known fact that Vince told him to leave dispite Bret not wanting to because Vicne couldn't honour Bret's new 20 year contract..
It's also believed that the reason Vince said he wouldn't honour the contract was because he'd figured out Bret had been playing him and Bischoff off of each other for more money. Also after Bret physically assaulted Shawn backstage it may have forced Vince to make the decision. This is another way of looking at the situation.
@@ZakynthosDiamandis I've never heard anyone credible claim such a thing. Hall and Nash claim Bret never asked for more money and resented him for not pushing for bigger paydays as top guy. Sounds like you're simping for Vince, who regularly jerked his talent around and would have lost his shirt if Bret had wanted to sue him for breach of contract. And if they were going to punish Bret for 'assaulting' Shawn Michaels, they would have punished Shawn's vast litany of unprofessional bullshit before it ever got to that point.
Of all the Vince photos you could have picked during the Bret Hart segment, you used the one with the "Chyna is a man" sign behind him 😂😂😂😂 I'm sorry, I have mad respect for Chyna, was a huge DX fan, but I laughed my ass off for a full 2 minutes at that part of this video because I had forgotten that was even a thing that people thought she was a man lol
The Bret Hart signing should've been as much a game changer as the Scott Hall signing.
Weird how it totally wasn't....
They didn't like Bret. They could have got 5 more years if life if they did it right.

That was a common nickname for him back then.
Not sure if it’s been done yet, but I wanna see a list of the best promos from bad talkers

Totally agree with ya...guess were an unpopular bunch lop
I thought they used Sid better : come in, grunt and power bomb

Future video idea: *10 Biggest WWE Signings Ever* 👌 This is bound to happen.
Hogan will top that list too.
@@TheThird1977 lol
I definitely remember all the big hype surrounding WCW signing Hulk Hogan. No surprise he was the highest paid performer in the company.
That was the saddest day for me when I heard the news when HOGAN left WWF
But it was worth it when he joined the nwo that made the company a fresh breath
@@HCIbn the saddest day for me was when hogan rejoined wwe
"Mr. Nanny!" That was 😅😂 funny seeing Hogan dressed like that!!! LMAO imagining Hulk with an n.W.o. shirt 👕 on top of his Tutu Outfit!!!
You boys really out do yourself every time

Sid was a BIG draw in WCW.
And he did it with only half the brain
They need to do a 30 for 30 about Sid,
It's so sad that half the guys on this list have now passed away 😢
the outside was bigger signs as great
I am surprised luger expected the offer it was low
RIP Scott hall
hmmmmmm... I wonder who #1 is BROTHER
Paul Heyman with the big phone for the big deals
The Dangerous Alliance is one of the greatest heel stables of all time. Don't believe me? Just look at the legends in that stable and then you'll know why.
Scott hall should have been number 1 not just because he recently passed, but we all know the best promo of all time is “ you know who I am, but you don’t know why I’m here”
good video
No one else aside Hulk Hogan could be Number 1. Man was a literal game changer and elevated WCW to a new level in 1994.
i would have put the Outsiders on together, and would've been tempted to put them as 1!
Scott hall and kevin nash was a huge signing for wcw huge
thanks!
Mr. Nanny is a modern classic! How dare you speak of it in your snooty sarcasm?!

Can we get a list of worst booking decisions I know nash would be high on that lol
If I hear that Bret Hart, one of only nine WCW Triple Crown Champions, didn't get a good run in WCW one more time, I swear... I don't know what lol but damn it people there are only nine of them!
I'm going to take a guess the top 3 are Scott Hall Kevin Nash and hulk Hogan in that order
WCW FOR LIFE!!!
Rude should be replaced by Jarrett, last major WWF star to jump ship & was a focal point of the main event scene for their final years
Without watching this it’s obvious Hogan is number one
Fudge me, someone other than Eric Bischoff pointing out how The Hulkster grew income for WCW.
I should have know the last 3 would be the nWo
Hall>>>Nash
How does glacier not top this list? 🤔😂
Sid signed with wcw twice
I feel like Eric Bichoff should’ve been on the list. At last at 10
It's not "tooooo sweet". It's too sweeeeeeeeet !
The biggest WCW Signing of the late 90s was supposed to be Bret Hart, but flopped.
Randy Savage was way too low. Probably the second biggest star of the time when he flipped.
The reset button.
Rip rick rude
But sid broke his leg graphic

WCW misused Warrior.

Hogan?
Scott?
Why is there a question mark for Hogan?
Goldberg??
To this day, I still consider Nash to be the most overrated wrestler of ALL TIME. I don’t care who feels otherwise.
Yo
No Goldberg??
