Hogan of course was in the MC. After being attacked and injured several times by the NB, he came out and recanted his Hulkster persona, and said to call him by his real name; Terry Bollea. He wasn't going to take any crap from any of the NB, he was all business. He came out wearing simple black garb, including a black vest that said, "FUNB" on the back. In a classic WCW moment Hogan went to the camera and said, "The NB stands for New Blood, you figure out what the FU stands for. FUNB Hogan was a more hardcore Hogan. He fought Mike Awesome in a table match, where he was powerbombed thorough the lumber, and he was routinely busted open in his brutal feud with Billy Kidman. He also drove a all black classic Camaro.
