5 times Hulk Hogan's insecurities were bad for business

#3 Creative Control in WCW

Hulk Hogan is a former 6-time WCW Heavyweight Champion

After helping turn the WWE into a global phenomenon, Hulk Hogan was tricked into thinking he could do the same for WCW. When he first signed for Ted Turner’s company, he turned the organisation into a legit rival of the WWE’s. Because of the weight he held in the industry, Hogan negotiated himself a creative control clause in his WCW contract.

With that control, he inserted himself into the main event time after time. This meant that younger talents couldn’t shine as they should have.

In the long-term, this led to the demise of WCW as they invested too much in Hogan, whilst neglecting the other wrestlers who could have drawn people. Hogan’s insecurities not only hindered WWE, they hindered WCW too.
