“Got Really Really Close’: Hulk Hogan Recently Made a Huge Revelation of WWE’s Critical Condition Under Vince McMahon Back in the 90s

Back in the initial days of the division, the Monday Night Wars was the time when the wrestling world witnessed major changes. As WCW’s ratings overpowered WWE’s for 83 weeks, Vince McMahon tried to hang in there for his breakthrough. But recently Hulk Hogan made a new revelation about WWE’s future back when they were losing the rating war against WCW.

If The Hulkster’s words are true, then Mr. McMahon was in a lot of trouble handling WWE back in the 90s.

Hulk Hogan recalls a conversation with Vince McMahon

In the recent episode of AE WWE Legends Biography on nWo, Hulk Hogan made a revelation. He shared that once McMahon told him WWE almost closed its operations.

The Immortal One said, “That was the goal was to become the number one company. I don’t think was to put Vince out of business, even though we got really really close. I later had a conversation with Vince, were (he said being) a couple of weeks away from shutting down the doors.”

Also, Eric Bischoff said the same on his 83 Weeks podcast in 2018. As per Comicbook reporting in 2018, Bischoff wanted to be number one and didn’t care whether WWE stays or goes out of business. 

Furthermore, the former WCW official said about being happy to beat WWE in ratings for a long time. However, after 83 weeks, Vince McMahon’s new product of Attitude Era started overlapping WCW, ultimately winning the Monday Night Wars. 

Moreover, McMahon purchased his competition in 2001, leaving the wrestling world in shock. Bischoff later joined WWE, but his run didn’t go as well as expected.

The Hulkster didn’t enjoy working in WWE and WCW

In the documentary Finding Hulk Hogan, the 12-time world champion, shared which company he loved to work for in his life. It wasn’t AWA, WWE, WCW, or NJPW, it was Dixie Carter’s Impact Wrestling, also known as TNA.

Hogan said, “When I worked at different companies like with Ted Turner and with Vince McMahon, I never enjoyed going to work. It was a labor. It wasn’t a labor of love. Here, I’m driving, coming to work and I’m excited about getting here.”

Even though The nWo founding member made a huge name in WWE in the 80s, The Hulkster did work in other top companies. Hogan’s last wrestling match came in Impact Wrestling and shortly after that, he left the company.
