HOGAN vs STING: Why the match will happen again
I remember when Hulk Hogan joined WCW in 1994. One of the key things I was wondering about was how the previous biggest face and frachise player Sting would react to it. Hogan was doing an interview and Sting came out and like a gentleman welcomed Hogan to WCW. However, I could see the fire in the young man' s eyes and I knew sooner or later that he wanted a piece of Hogan.
For some reason the date November 20th, 1995 sticks out in my mind. It was first time in ever that Sting met Hogan in the ring. If Hogan and Warrior from Wrestlemania was a 10 out of 10 well this one for me had to be at least an 8. It was a great dream match but unfortunately was broken up the Dungeon of Doom but still an epic encounter.
Decemeber 1997, Hollywood Hulk Hogan vs Sting. It made me sick that PWI was calling this encounter, match of the century, not because it was bad but I was so WWE bias back then. It was a masterfully build encounter though. For over a year Sting was in the rafters never saying two words and when he finally came down to take on Hulk Hogan it was magic.
Unfortanely, they're encounter fell short in the eyes of most but no one can deny the fans were so hyped for that fight.
And now to the present day, as Sting just a few weeks ago was contemplating retirement and in walks Hulk Hogan into TNA.
TNA fans are split. Some think Hogan is great for TNA and some think he will eventually bring it down. Sting, once again silent and in the rafters much like the rest of us are just ing waiting to see how the Hogan Bishoff Regime will turn out. I think whether or not Hogan has been better or worse for TNA, Sting will come down the rafters on a rope, point a bat at Hogan and he will have to answer for his sins. And BROTHER when that happens that is going to blow the roof right off of TNA. Can you imagine that? I can hear Mike Tenay and Taz right now "The biggest match in the history of TNA, Sting returns to take on Hulk Hogan in his TNA in ring debut at the main event for Bound for Glory!!" I believe it's just a matter of time, that fate will have these two placed together in another great feud. If I had to describe why Sting vs Hulk Hogan will happen again in one word that word would be,
"destiny."
