This match was a slap in the face to every wrestler that takes pride in his profession! And in my mind, no one man is bigger than this sport, but if there ''is'' an Icon, it would be a man who has great ability inside the ring and professionalism and maturity outside of it! Let's leave all the petty, backstabbing, I-make-more-money-than-you BS with the hat-check girl, and concentrate on talent and attitude! Wrestling/TheUndertaker, Wrestling/RicFlair, and [[Wrestling/StoneColdSteveAustin Steve Austin]] have never claimed to be icons, which means they're big candidates to be just that!\\\
And on a personal note to Hulk Hogan: you are a household word, [[TakeThat but so is garbage; and it stinks when it gets old, too]]. I'm Jim Cornette, and that's my opinion."

''Well'', I'm sick and damn tired of guys claim to be The Icon, especially when it usually comes from guys who just didn't know when to quit. Roddy Piper was my idol when I was a teenager, but that was twenty 20 years ago. Hulk Hogan during his best years was 50% media creation, and those are long gone.

But the pinnacle of this "icon" garbage came at last night's cage match between Hulk Hogan and Roddy Piper, to determine–in their minds only–who the real icon is. [=WCW=] had the gall to say "this is the greatest cage match in history", when it was only the greatest in three weeks since ''Hell in a Cell''. But here you've got a 46-year-old bald movie star wannabe who looks like Uncle Creepy with a good build taking on a guy with an artificial hip that hadn't wrestled a full schedule in ten years. It's a tribute to the massive egotism, in my mind, of both men and indictment of WCW's promotional policies that this match ''even took place'', much less being the main event, when the card was probably [[TallPoppySyndrome the best that WCW's capable of having!]] By the 10-minute mark, they were sucking wind so bad the first three rows passed out [[AlmostOutOfOxygen of oxygen deprivation]]–would've been funny if it wasn't so sad.\\\
