Bash At The Beach in 2000, Hogan pins Jeff Jarrett, this was Hogan's last appearance in WCW.


Double J was WCW champion, before any wrestlers came out Vince Russo came out first, leaving commentators baffled why he was heading to the ring. Hogan comes out and speaks a bit of trash talk, Double J comes out, in the ring Double J lays n the mat while Russo holds up the belt and throws it in the ring.
Hogan Grabs a mic and says "Is this your deal Russo? That's why this damn company is in the damn shape it is because of bull shit like this" and Hogan pins Double J and gets the 3 count.

A lot of people thought this was real, but it's been said that WCW were trying to run out their time slot by stalling and taking their time everyone was in on it. John Laurenitis contacted Hogan before the match and said that Russo wanted Jeff to win at the PPV, Hogan refused to loose using his creative control clause in his contract. Russo, Hogan and Eric Bischoff came up with the finish that happened. Russo was going to blurr the line between fiction and reality with Hogan's contract.

What nobody knew was that Russo was going to head to the ring after the match and cut a promo directly at Hogan. Russo said

Since coming to WCW he has had to deal with the politics that go on in the WCW locker room and he was very close to leaving but stayed for the guys who cared about the company. But one guy who doesn't care about WCW is Hulk Hogan, he has had to deal with Hulk Hogan's politics all day and he wants and wants to play his creative control card and that meant beating Jeff Jarrett in the ring, even though that was the wrong thing to do.

After this Hogan and WCW ended up going to court, WCW tried to sue Hogan for breach of contract and Hogan tried to sue the company for the Russo promo. Both cases were thrown out.
