During a recent edition of his “What Happened When” podcast, AEW broadcaster Tony Schiavone discussed the appropriate ending to the nWo storyline.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On the proper ending to the NWO storyline: “Well, the fitting ending would have been Sting. Because Sting was their nemesis, allegedly, through all of this. And I know that we got the Wolfpac, and we got the tomato-face Sting, and even Hulk Hogan went back to HulkaMania, right? But I think I would have stretched it out to where Sting would have faced Hogan, gone over Hogan, and the NWO would have dissolved from there.
“I mean, there’s a little more pieces to that to make it better, I know. But that would have been the main idea for me. I mean, I go back to that — and it’s in my comic book, that I thought the demise of our company creatively started when Sting didn’t beat Hogan clean at Starcade.”
On his favorite Hulk Hogan moments he had to call: “Well, I think it’s Hogan turning. It has to be, if not number one, it has to be up there. Because I came out with, ‘Hogan, you can go straight to hell!’ Which was a complete ad-lib on my part. And I didn’t even think about saying that until the moment happened. So that’s the one I think that I feel best about.”
