[1999-08-30-WCW-Nitro] Lex Luger, Hulk Hogan and Sting

Talk about it here.

Gene brings out Luger, who says he has evidence that Hogan can't be trusted. Luger has an envelope and asks Sting to come see what he has. He reveals a picture of Hogan next to the hummer. Whatever. This brings Hogan out. The hummer was black before and now it's white. Hogan and Sting arguing and Luger stirring up trouble. It really is late 1995 all over again. Sting seems to be questioning Luger, and DDP takes the opportunity to come out and suckerpunch Hogan. Hogan doesn't even sell it. Hogan and Sting end up in a shouting match and Sting enters the ring. There was a right way to put Hogan's integrity in doubt, but this?

Hogan is also Hollywood Hogan in the picture. This whole thing feels played out. Luger looked in no condition to perform even on the mic. Crowd wasn't really buying it either.

Luger's evidence seems pretty fishy. Maybe I am again more lenient on this but after so much bad in the summer months, I am actually enjoying this stuff a fair amount.

Well, at least this went farther than Larry Zbyszko and Baby Doll's pictures of Dusty Rhodes, but the reveal is somewhat underwhelming. I guess that's by design, but the Hummer angle has been pushed and then dropped and then pushed again so many times, with Nash having turned and Savage gone in the meantime, that the mystery is pretty dead. DDP rounds out the cast.
