Hulk Hogan Reveals What Killed WCW

Hulk Hogan was not involved in the Who Killed WCW? documentary series by Vice TV.

While speaking with SI.com, Hogan supported former WCW President Eric Bischoff and gave his opinion on how the American Online merger with Time Warner played a role in the downfall of WCW.

“So many people knock Eric, but there was an opposition he was dealing with from the higher-ups in the company. He just wasn’t going to win that battle. These were executives who had no idea what wrestling was all about, and they had no interest in learning. They wanted more traditional programming. They didn’t want rasslin’ in their high-brow portfolio. They weren’t interested, and nothing else mattered.”

On what Killed WCW: “It’s not the flashiest story, but I can tell you what killed WCW. There was no way WCW was going to survive, not under those circumstances.”

On Bischoff being blamed: “So many people knock Eric, but there was an opposition he was dealing with from the higher-ups in the company. He just wasn’t going to win that battle. These were executives who had no idea what wrestling was all about, and they had no interest in learning. They wanted more traditional programming.
