Earlier this month when John Cena Shockingly Turned Heel After Winning the Elimination Chamber and Aligned Himself With the Rock, Fans Quickly Began to Compare the Angle to Hulk Hogan’s Heel Turn at wcw bash at the beach 1996. “The hulkster” Famously Hit His Pateted Leg Drop On Randy Savage joined forces with kevin nash and scott hall to form the nwo, creating at time that would change the trajectory of wcw and fight forever. The former Director of WCW, Eric Bischoff, who was responsible for the training of the NWO, commented Cena’s actions in the elimination chamber, explaining why he thought that the Talon turn had changed the situation, but not as impactful as the Hogans.
“If you look at him play and when it all is over, look at the people standing around the ring. He got a great reaction, don’t get me wrong, it was not the reaction that Hogan obtained. Get two televisions, two monitors, no matter, put these two finishes side by side. Forget what’s going on inside the ring, just watch the crowd … been a seven. And half. “Bischoff said on “83 weeks.” “I don’t think it will get the kind of buzz and reaction that Hogan’s Tour has made.”
Bischoff continued to reiterate that the turn of the Hogan heel had a greater influence on the industry, and noted that her opinion does not mean that Cena becoming bad was badly done, but believes that Hogan joining Nash and Hall was more surprising.
