Hulk Hogan was not involved in the Who Killed WCW? docu-series that is currently airing on Vice TV.
While speaking with SI.com, Hogan supported former WCW President Eric Bischoff in not being the person to kill the promotion. Instead, he shared his opinion on how the America Online merger with Time Warner played a role in the downfall of WCW. He said,
“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.”
He continued, “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.”
