Attitude Era·WCW·1996–1998

Sting vs. Hollywood Hogan (Sep 1996 – Feb 1998)

Eighteen months of Sting silently stalking the New World Order from the rafters built to Starrcade 1997's WCW World Heavyweight Championship match, a finish so botched by conflicting instructions and Hollywood Hogan's last-minute creative control that the title had to be vacated and settled two months later at SuperBrawl VIII.

Goldberg vs. Hollywood Hogan (Sep 1997 – Jul 1998)

A former NFL lineman with a ten-month-old undefeated streak walked into the Georgia Dome, went through Scott Hall and then Hollywood Hogan in the same night, and won the WCW World Heavyweight Championship in front of 41,412 fans, a match so big that WCW gave it away for free on Nitro instead of saving it for pay-per-view.
