Some would say his signing opened the door to many of the other successes WCW would experience later on, others would say his involvement helped put a bullet in WCW's head, and there were definite merits to both sides of that argument. However you slice it, the WCW we saw at the beginning of 1994 was barely recognizable by the end of the year. Aside from Hulk Hogan elbowing Ric Flair and Sting out of the top spots, the rest of the roster changed radically during the Hulk Transition, as many of the homegrown stars who had been built up over several years were pushed down and replaced with ex-WWF stars who rode Hulk's wake into the company.But what if Hulk Hogan never came to WCW? What would have happened if Ric Flair and Sting remained WCW's franchise stars? How would the homegrown undercard roster have progressed if they weren't dumped in favor of the washed-up WWF castoffs who now wouldn't have had Hulk there to open the door for them? Let's put our fantasy booking hat on and see what WCW might have looked like if Hulk Hogan was never a part of their roster.
