It goes far beyond that. I've watched all of Hollywood Hogan's matches in 1996 and 1997 before that and he's playing cowardly heel the entire time, winning only by cheating (and losing a fair few matches as well) and suddenly he's fighting Sting, the face of WCW and the avenging angel of the brand like the Megapowers had just exploded.
Yeah, I asked earlier this week why Bischoff is so cagey about their reason for not committing to a clean Sting win.
