On the phone call Hulk made to Eric Bischoff with the idea to put the WCW World Heavyweight Championship on Bill Goldberg at the Georgia Dome on an episode of Monday Nitro:
HH: I remember it was my hair brained idea. Everybody always says, “Oh, well, it should have been a PPV. It should have been this. It should have been that.” It was a situation where I was caught in the “Good Hulk” on one shoulder and the “Evil Hulk” on the other shoulder. Good Hulk was saying, “Oh my God, all the Goldberg chants are starting to mount up. Just let him get on his feet and then be a bigger heel than ever.” I was doing the Bobby Heenan holding my ears and running around. Then on the other shoulder I was thinking, “Let’s get this belt on him right away.” I had just been dragging this belt around. We needed to get it on a babyface and this guy is so over. I thought, “Oh my God, let’s build ourselves a superhero and get this on a babyface right away so I can start chasing it and draw some serious money.” That was a not thought through decision at all. I just called you in panic and thought I had this great idea. We should have thought it through. Everybody says we should have built it up more. We shouldn’t have had it happen at the Georgia Dome. Who knows? I was just twisted up because I was panicking because I heard all the Goldberg chants and I realized how easy it was to run around with the belt and act like the chants are driving me crazy. I was also worried that this was the time to make the pivot. The transition. I was panicking because I was afraid we’d miss that moment, you know? I knew the Georgia Dome would be his home. It would be electric.
