Hulk Hogan is arguably one of the greatest professional wrestlers of all time. He was a massive babyface in WWE and a great heel in WCW. The Hulkster’s WCW career as a part of nWo is memorable.

Recently, ahead of the last match of ‘The Nature Boy; we got to see The Roast of Ric Flair. We saw many known wrestling icons and other celebrities on the roast. However, Hogan, who was invited, didn’t make it for some reason, but nobody forgot him while the roast was on.

On ‘The Roast of Ric Flair’, Comedian and Host of The Inappropriate Earl podcast, Earl Skakel had some jokes about WCW. He roasted former WCW Executive Producer & SVP Eric Bischoff over his creative ideas for Hulk Hogan.

The Comedian started off by introducing Eric Bischoff. He shared a little background about the former WCW Executive Producer & SVP about starting as a meat packer in Minnesota and becoming a wrestling legend.

Skakel said, “Eric Bischoff is one of the great creative minds in the business. So many good ideas, turning Hulk Hogan into Hollywood Hulk Hogan. That was wrestling 9/11. Other great ideas Eric Bischoff has (Stops and acts like thinking something), putting Horace Hogan into the nWo.”

He added, “Having The Ultimate Warrior come back and cut a 78 minutes promo on LIVE TV. Like I said, Eric Bischoff has come up with great ideas (sarcastic pause). You know I don’t need this f**king attitude in this room right now.”

There were multiple shots taken at Bischoff in the day for pushing The Hulkster heavily on the top of the card. Moreover, within a few years, Hogan cemented his legacy as a great heel, too. Bischoff’s decision to turn ‘The Immortal One’ heel was successful.
