Pay Per Ghost
What they f*ck happened in the thread section here
This is a little complex of a subject here so bear with me people.
Remember all the stories about Hogan not dropping the title to people because he didn't think they were over enough and he would vehemently practise this over the years He, however, did this for a few people, a little recap:
Ultimate Warrior, The Undertaker, Yokozuna, Bill Goldberg.
I was debating with myself about including Brock Lesnar or not because him destroying Hogan was a great moment of pushing a talent. All of these talent became huge in their own regard. You can make a case for Yoko but he was always gonna be a monster heel and he did that better than anyone I have seen. Him dropping the title to these people and elevating the right people (save Warrior through no fault of Hogan) was justified as they went on to be huge draws and marquee names.
Anyway, fast forward to the year 2002 and Austin calls in on an episode of Byte This! and blasts the creative's handling of his character. He soon walked away. After this story came out, people have been in two corners, some of said what he did was the most unprofessional thing under the sun, while some of defended him saying that he needed to do that to protect his character from further sullying.
My questions to you:
Are they partially correct in saving their character from what can be deemed as bad booking, by exercising creative control or walking away when left no other choice?
Who do you see in the current timeline that will be most justified to do so?
