    Just in case anyone was wondering, Russo actually went back and rewatched this PPV for the first time since it occurred to review it for his podcast. He thought it was great. That’s all you need to know.

    The thing about the whole Russo/Hogan/Jarrett debacle is the worst moment in wrestling history. Regardless of who's side you're on, Hogan or Meltzer, (who Russo parroted talking points from constantly,) it was wrong and was the true killer of the entire company.
    The biggest reason was because it now ceased to be a wrestling show. You never saw Ross and Rachel break character to bitch about their salaries in the middle of an episode of Friends. If they did, it would have killed THAT show as well. The fact that it was on PAY PER VIEW made it even worse because you had to PAY money to see them do this.
    Add this to the fact that Jarrett NEVER drew and was NEVER OVER anywhere but in Memphis and you had a situation where there were no winners and Hogan looked sympathetic. He was a Horseman, never got over, joined the NWO, didn't get over, got a bigger push by Russo than even his own father gave him in Memphis, didn't get over.
    Meanwhile, Booker was collateral damage unfortunately.

But what it did was to ensure that WCW was now incapable of ever being taken seriously as a threat to WWF.
