Why did Hulk Hogan turn heel in 1996?
When Hogan signed with WCW in 1994 officials hoped that they could relive the days of Hulkamania. However due to Hogan’s bad booking his storylines were very unrealistic and boring. As a result fans started booing Hogan and a change was needed. Hogan was taken off television for a while and at the time Scott Hall and Kevin Nash had just joined WCW and were doing the Outsiders angle. Hall and Nash said they had a third member of their team which was suppose to be Bret Hart but at the last minute Hart decided to stay with WWF. A replacement was needed and Hogan took the role and became Hollywood Hogan.
