WWF History: 1994 - An Interesting Year for "Big Daddy Cool" Diesel [20 Videos]
The World Wrestling Federation (WWF) saw some major changes occur in 1994. The rise of the professional wrestler known as Diesel to WWF World Champion was one of the biggest transformations.
To understand the rise of Diesel, it is important to understand the departure of Hulk Hogan from the WWF. At the time, Hulk Hogan was the biggest star in WWF history. Hogan's WWF departure in late 1993 and later emergence in the Ted Turner-owned World Championship Wrestling (WCW) in June 1994 shook the foundation that the WWF was built upon. WWF owner Vince McMahon and company were in a major search for Hogan's replacement --- a big, charismatic, steroid-free, entertainer. While the WWF leadership allowed workhorse Bret "Hitman" Hart to hold the title for over 240 days in 1994, they saw a desire for a change. "Big Daddy Cool" Diesel was that change.
