>After WCW's assetts were sold to WWE in March 2001, Hogan sued Russo & the Universal Wrestling Corporation (WCW minus the name and assets they sold to WWE) over the promo, as he said that Russo went further than agreed upon. Purportedly, this breached his contract since he had full creative control and because he was not the featured wrestler on the show as promised.

He also sued for defamation and false light invasion of privacy based on the content of the promo. WCW counter-sued for breach of contract since Hogan didn't fulfill all of his pay-per-view appearances.
