Storylines

New Generation·WWF·1993

Yokozuna vs. Hulk Hogan vs. Bret Hitman Hart (Apr 1993 – Jun 1993)

Bret Hart lost the WWF Championship to salt in the eyes at WrestleMania IX, then watched Hulk Hogan answer an impromptu challenge and win the title in about 20 seconds. Hart says Hogan promised to return the favor and never did; Hogan said the plan was always to drop the belt back to Yokozuna. The argument outlived both men's careers, and Hogan himself.

The New World Order vs. WCW (May 1996 – Dec 1996)

Scott Hall's shock walk-in from the crowd on Nitro, Kevin Nash's arrival two weeks later, and Hulk Hogan's heel turn at Bash at the Beach launched an invasion angle built on real WWF contract jumps, turning WCW's Monday night ratings around and igniting the New World Order's first chaotic year against the promotion it claimed to be taking over.

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.

Attitude Era·WCW·1997

Diamond Dallas Page vs. Macho Man Randy Savage (Feb 1997 – Oct 1997)

Randy Savage joined the nWo and humiliated Diamond Dallas Page's wife on pay-per-view to start it, but the feud that followed became the story of a veteran handing a rising star his career: Savage chose to take the Diamond Cutter at Spring Stampede, and Page never stopped saying so.

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 WCW gave away on Nitro instead of saving it for pay-per-view.

Goldberg vs. Kevin Nash (Nov 1998 – Jan 1999)

Kevin Nash won a 60-man battle royal to earn a WCW World Heavyweight Championship match against Goldberg, then beat him at Starrcade after Scott Hall hit him with a stun gun at ringside, ending a 173-match undefeated streak. Eight days later, with Goldberg written out of the rematch, Nash lay down for Hollywood Hogan and a finger poke.

Attitude Era·WCW·1999

Bret Hitman Hart vs. Goldberg (Mar 1999 – Dec 1999)

Twelve days after winning the WCW World Tag Team Championship together, Bret Hart and Goldberg met for the WCW World Heavyweight Championship at Starrcade 1999. A kick that was supposed to miss caught Hart in the head, and the concussion that followed, compounded by more in the days after, ended his in-ring career within a year.
