Hulk's heel turn was huge, wasn't it? Sometimes, it is tough to understate how done lots of folks were with Hulk. I remember being notably peeved when he basically killed Flair when he showed up in WCW. Then he pretty much did the same with Vader and others and I was over it. And Dungeon of Doom? Even then it was obvious that they were gonna get propped up then jobbed out. I got tied up with high school senior shit/summer before college shit and basically quit watching. I turned the TV on in August just to see if they'd ever revealed the other dude with Hall and Nash, saw Hulk Hogan in all black and knew very quickly that the shit was on! I'm so glad I got to see that period of rasslin before I started being online a lot. Seeing Stunning Steve turn into Stone Cold was another weirdly satisfying set of moments.
