Against the grain wrestling opinions

It's never said it's not for the title, and even after the match the announcers think he's won it. On Nitro the next night it's glossed over, Piper doesn't give a shit and they never explicitly say anything about it. Hogan and Bischoff focus on lying that Hogan never lost, and they steal the tape so it can't be shown apparently, that's the main focus.  Maybe they went over it on Saturday Night.

Yeah this is a forgotten gem for sure.

Great event was Starrcade 96, although was always baffled that the Hogan/Piper match wasn't for the belt and can't remember if there was a reason why.

The storyline was Piper wasn't under WCW contract, I think, it was 30 year ago. Although apparently there was plans for Piper to hold the title but obviously.

I never understood why he used to have to pull the logo off the mic when he did a promo. Just hold it like everyone else, you weirdo.

Always thought it looked like he couldn't hold it properly with the logo on due to his ridiculous hard man MMA gloves. Best pure striker in the game was auld Booger Red!
