5 legendary promos that changed WWE forever

#2 Hogan turns heel

The promo that kicked off the Monday Night Wars

At the Bash at the Beach PPV in 1996, Hall and Nash were slated to face off against the team of Sting, Randy Savage, and Lex Luger. "The Outsiders", as WCW liked to call them, had promised that their third partner was going to come by later.

The handicap match kicked off, and during the final moments of the match, we saw Hulk Hogan coming towards the ring, to the elation of the fans. Suddenly he hit a leg drop on the unconscious Randy Savage, as the sea of fans watched in utter disgust.

For the first time since Terry Bolea became Hollywood Hulk Hogan; he had turned heel! Hogan went on to give a scathing promo in the middle of the ring, belittling the fans for going against him. He promised that his faction, dubbed the NWO, was going to take over WCW. This was the official start to the Monday Night Wars.
