Eric Bischoff then narrated how Hogan asked to meet him to discuss future plans in WCW when he was filming a movie. During the conversation, Hogan asked Bischoff about the third man in the nWo. The former WCW President had earmarked Sting for the role, which the legendary wrestler was initially hesitant about, but agreed to be a part of. Bischoff, though, didn't reveal that piece of information to Hogan.

"I didn't want to tell him [who the third man was] not because I didn't trust him ... Hulk is like a child sometimes. When he gets really excited, he cannot keep a secret," said Bischoff. "I said, 'Hulk, I don't know. Who do you think it should be?' And he went [makes a motion of stroking a beard] curls his lips up like that, looks like a big fish, [and Hogan replied], 'You're looking at him, brother.' Oh, wow, and I got all [excited] because I knew that was big."

The WWE Hall of Famer, while elated about Hogan being the third man, had the task of telling Sting that he would no longer be the third man, after previously trying hard to make him agree to do it. Bischoff recalls telling Sting that he was unsure Hogan would go through with it, so asked him to be ready to take up the role if "The Hulkster" declined to do it.
