Let's see Bruno Sammartino, Hacksaw Jim Duggan, Ted DiBiase, Jim Cornette, Owen Hart, Arn Anderson, Warrior, Roddy Piper, Brian Blair, Jerry Jarrett, Ricky Morton, Manny Fernandez, Robert Gibson, Magnum TA, Bill Watts, Raod Warriors Animal and Hawk need I go on?
That's all bullshit. Do you really believe everything you read on the Internet?!? LOL!!
Hall Nash Flair were all UNDER CONTRACT. Even if they wanted too, they could not "jump ship."
Hogan was never going back in 1997/98 do you realize he was being paid 12 million dollars a year?!? That was some bullshit Bruce Prichard put out to sell some DVD's. Hogan has never said he ever considered going back,
Warrior said he "faxed a contract in the middle of the night before he went to WCW" but there were no discussions.
Even a younger guy at that time like Chris Jericho had issues with it. He wrote in one of his books how he was uncomfortable with a lot of the WWE content at the time and wanted to make sure he wouldn't have to do any of that stuff before he jumped from WCW to WWF. He specifically made note about how he was watching a match where the finish was the Big Boss Man hit Meat's boner with his nightstick, and how he wanted no part of stuff like that.
