Hollywood Hogan's nWo: Let's talk about it and remember
- Status
How has this not happened yet. I was on my phone at the time so I couldn't do it easily.. lazy asses.
And a belt one for good measure.
This is amazing. I'm not being sarcastic or mocking you or anything. I'm seriously saying it's amazing to hear from a Hogan fan's perspective (specifically a kid). I was always more of a WCW guy and never really liked Hogan. I always preferred Flair, Vader, Cactus Jack, Sting, guys like that. When Hogan turned heel, even though I was 12 years old, it was so exciting. I guess it was the first time, for me, that Hogan was believable.

One of his best lines that night was "I bet he says his prayers and takes his vitamins."
I wanted more of that instead of the usual troop of yelling and lameness.

Man, I never enjoyed the Wolfpac. I'm sure they made a lot of cash. Love the nWo b-team though. Stevie Ray and his Slapjack! Scott Norton killing Ernest Miller!

I can't really comment because I didn't even start watching wrestling until 1998, and even then I was a WWF person. My mother however was a WCW person and I remember her getting pissed every time the NWO had their way.
The angle the brought me into wrestling was imo the masterful booking of the Rock in 1998. The gradual face turn, then his short face run until joining the Corporation that November.

I always thought the Wolfpac was great, because it got rid of most of the B-listers and had all the awesome wrestlers in it. Then they reintegrated into the NWO and it's like whelp, this story line sucks now. Honestly I feel like that was the WCW's biggest mistake.They could have wrapped things up, but kept the corpse of the NWO alive way too long.
I still miss the old cruiser weight stuff, so many great wrestlers.

The Wolfpac had Konnan and Lex Luger. It also had a way past the point of caring Kevin Nash and the worst version of Sting.
I'll admit I might have been biased coming from a state with the color of red everywhere.. so the wolfpac shirts fit in well
But really, it was just the last straw back then for me caring. nWo angle went on too fucking long, and it was like someone just had a tape on loop.

Scott Steiner is the best member of the nWo.
Drugs and a spinal stroke that nearly paralyzed him.

Lex is actually in a real good place, still has his faculties.
I'm still 4 life and think about the nWo and how I fit into the nWo puzzle. Literally every single day I think about this.
I wanted to like Wolfpac but I couldn't leave Hogan's side. I'll never turn my back on the Hulkster.

Steiner was awesome, even if he might've been absolutely batshit insane.

Nash over Hall? C'mon!
Such good memories, I remember Tuesday mornings on the school bus talking about Nitro/Raw with my friends (6th-7th grade).
After watching several wrestling videos as a refresher (thanks OP), I'm just going to echo how disappointing the Sting-Hogan match was at Starrcade '97. Sting spends the whole year just dismantling the nWo, then just gets worked by Hogan at Starrcade. That could have been so satisfying.
I watched WCW a little bit into the Wolfpac, then switched to WWF from 98-99. I haven't been back since, other than occasional videos and promos out of curiosity.
