Subject: Warrior in WCW

OK it's no secret that Warrior was misused in WCW. Many think he was only there so Hogan could avenge his Wrestlemania VI defeat eight years earlier. And when you look at how things played out it is believable.
But what direction would you guys like to have seen any angles with Warrior take?

First and foremost I think that he should have been allowed to recruit more wrestlers into his One Warrior Nation. He did recruit the Disciple after abducting him from right under Hogans nose but the Disciple alone was never going to have the impact to make OWN a believable force. Guys like Warrior's Wargames allies, Roddy Piper and DDP should have joined OWN as well as Warrior's old Bladerunners Tag partner, Sting. These men would have built OWN into a formidable stable and made it a credible threat to any faction of nWo.
As for the ill fated match at Haloween Havoc, I don't think it should have happened so soon. Warrior should have been allowed to get over his arm injury and had time to shake off his ring rust by dispatching of whatever midcard to upper midcard wrestlers Hogan and Bischoff threw at him.
When Warrior was fully fit the match could then have taken place and would in all probability have been as epic as their Wrestlemania VI meeting. Ok, this may shock you a little but I do think Hogan should have won the match with almost the same finish. nWo would run in to the ring and try to weaken Warrior for Hogan. But no sooner would they appear than the members of OWN would run down the ramp and clear the ring of everybody except Warrior and Hogan.
The two factions would battle outside the ring while Warrior and Hogan continued their match. The mayhem outside the ring would allow Horace to sneak through the crowd on to the ring apron and hit Warrior with the chair to give Hogan the win.

The next few weeks and months (whatever length of time the angle had heat) after that. Warrior and the OWN could have been making life hell for Hogan and the nWo. Interfering in matches and interupting promo's. All the while Hogan could boast of having finally laid the ghosts of WM VI to rest, of having defeated the mighty Warrior while at the same time Warrior could claim that Hogan still didn't hold a clean victory over him. Warrior could play on this, slowly wearing Hogan down until finally Hogan agreed to yet another remath with Warrior. Hogan's terms would be that if he defeated Warrior this time, Warrior would leave WCW and nWo Hollywood would usurp the OWN. Warrior's terms would simply be that there be no interferance in the match from either faction.
The match would go ahead with Warrior finally emerging victorious.
With Hollywood Hogan defeated Warrior would have built up enough heat, momentum and credibility to begin a feud with Goldberg eventually leading up to a match for the WCW title.

What do you guys think?
