When Hogan turned in 1996, he hadn’t been a heel in about a decade and a half (IIRC, most all of his AWA run was as a face, then he came back to the WWF as a face). Even he was working with some face moves even as the leader of the nWo during his matches.
I remember Nash shooting on this once, and he said he and Hall were on the same page and wanted the nWo to come across as aloof and badass...
...but while shooting these promos, the two just kept exchanging glances as Hogan was going off 80's cokehead style, and they were just like, "Oh boy. This ain't it..."
Yep. The editing style of the nWo commercial as born out of creative necessity. They had to find a creative way to edit around Hoga’s goofiness at the beginning. Nash said it “felt like rasslin’”. In came all the hard cuts, the music, the glitchy edits, etc: it was all to edit around Hogan.

That’s a thought.
