And the gogo is the worst finisher because its illegal. Its a chokehold. He shouldn't be allowed to use it because its an illegal maneuver.
And yeah, Eric Bischoff is my hero for what he did to Flair.

I agree with BB on the whole gogoplata thing. It's really dumb because it's a chokehold and it's used as a finisher. By that token, then when the "heel" is choking the babyface, the ref shouldn't be giving the heel a 5 count.
Anyhow, onto the Flair thing, I'll give my two cents. I know Flow just had a baby and what not but I agree with BB, just a little bit. I don't think Flair is scum nor do I hate Flair, but I do think he's overrated (BTW, he's in my 10 HOF picks) Longevity and consistency was what put Flair over the top and is the same reason why I don't like to watch Flair wrestle as much as I do other wrestlers.

I do have a little question regarding Vader's shoot. He said Flair took over the book prior to him regaining the title at Superbrawl, so Flair kept the strap. But that doesn't explain why Flair did nothing but job to Hogan when Hogan came in that year. If Flair was as political as mentioned, wouldn't he at least went over on Hogan to spice the feud. Plus, Vader went over on Flair and Arn at a Clash of the Champions Handicap match. He mentioned it, saying they were probably paying him back. But why didn't Flair just refuse to job if he was so political? Maybe Hogan's contract superceded Flair's authority.

Don't have the time right now, to back up my statement, but I will do this soon.

Hogan's contract superceded everyone else in the company. Hogan was made "THE MAN" when he got there. He was the first guy to get money from PPV buys in WCW not to mention Hogan had creative control as well and that's what started it all.

Ok, makes sense. Vader was saying how big a joke it was that Hogan helped out his friend by being his second feud after Flair.
The funny part is prior to the Hogan heel turn, I thought he was a massive stinkbomb in WCW. It was a forgettable run. He was actually getting Cena-like heat from crowds. His act was old as shit, his feuds weren't built well, and his matches weren't any good. That heel turn should have been seen a mile away.
