Eric Bischoff and Bruce Pritchard appeared on the latest installment of the “Talk Is Jericho” podcast to discuss the Monday Night Wars. Many stories were discussed on this edition, but one that stuck out the most was the story of Hulk Hogan expressing interest to return to the WWE around the time Bret Hart was leaving the company to head to WCW.
Pritchard explained, Hogan’s deal with WCW was about to finish up and there were talks going on between WWE and Hogan. One of the ideas that were considered for Hogan in the creative meetings was to have Hogan pass the torch to Steve Austin and Hogan would be the main guy in DX. Hogan ended up signing a new deal with WCW but you have to wonder how things would have turned out if Hogan would have made the jump back to WWE from WCW and how it would have impacted the Monday Night War.
Also in the podcast, Bischoff & Pritchard talk about original n.W.o plans, Bret leaving WWE, Kiss & Gene Simmons and lots more. You can check out the full podcast here. It’s definitely worth the listen.
