I love the way the announcers put this over. They leave no doubt that the nWo is stronger than it has ever been. I'd say it also freshens up the nWo as well as Savage.

What a great start to a feud. I barely remember this stuff, so I'm very much looking forward to it.

Faces of Fear are all-time favorites for me and this match showcases why. They are huge, powerful monsters who know how and when to show ass just enough to let their smaller opponents look good. I really wish WCW had put them in more matches like this.

I can see all the explanations making sense. I can also see this actually putting more questions about the Sting character in the mind of viewers despite him not being around for this specific finish. Either way, they could have done way more for letting people know what happened. Not a great finish.

I feel like tomorrow night Bischoff will take the titles back for Hall & Nash. And probably bitch a lot about Lex. I did like the way they did this a lot and it is easily the best of the 3 matches as far as a satisfying finish for the crowd.

I thought this was one of Malenko's better PPV matches since early 96. Syxx really brought a lot of good stuff here (from what little I saw) that covered up some of the thigns Malenko has not gotten right in the past. Finish is iffy at very best and probably woefully bad.

Much better match than I expected with Bret working on top in a very believable way against Sid. The finish was obvious from the booking of the earlier parts of the show, but it doesn't distract from the match.

Lawler and Heyman actually do hate each other from my understanding. Didn't that stem from Lawler always putting down ECW?

How soon before hey lose Gorilla? He absolutely does not fit. Austin fixating on Bret is leading us down a glorious road.

Good promo from Marlena. doesn't seem like Goldust has figured out how to do the gimmick and be a babyface yet. Chyna sure did rough Marlena up.

I have really come around to Hogan as a promo. He's got that coked out, 1980s style that Piper has but with enough discipline to make it work in a shortened amount of time.

This made no sense at all. Wouldn't you destroy that tape???

This was a great segment for so many reasons. The pyro for Randy Anderson, the chants for him, the knucks thing, Bischoff's bullying. So great. There's really no payoff???

Crazy Piper promo that sounds legit, check. But the whole Alcatraz thing is super weird and completely unbelievable. Still, Roddy can sure cut a (not a) promo.

Obvious copy of the Rock thing in the WWF and I agree that it was a dumb thing to do. Raw is a mess and they are throwing everything at the wall in hopes that something sticks. Why copy that?

I have no memory of the Mongo/Jarrett match coming up at SuperBrawl, but I haveto think there is some sort of ulterior motive for HughMorrus to be working over Mongo's leg. Not a great match, but probably Mongo's most coherent one to date.

Sid also looked really tepid out there. Kind of a mess of a segment and I'm happy I didn't have full Raw's for the last few weeks. Does not look like much good is going on at the high end and midcard has been a mess on Raw for a while.

Lawler got a veiled shot in as Shawn came out. I did pick out one thing. Shawn said he never did anything halfway. Except for maybe that thing where when you won the title it was your job to lose it to the next guy to put them over in the eyes of the fans. That's the second half of that, jack***.

HHH for all his flaws re: power and influence is a great worker even here. Maybe he doesn't have the greatest offense in the world, but he definitely walks Rocky through this very smoothy.

I actually enjoyed Shawn's promo here. I enjoyed Bret giving him the finger more though.

What an incredible thing they are doing. They turn the head ref heel as part of the nWo, then have an other ref somehow step on his toes. Then they torture that ref into accepting a match with a bigger, more physically imposing referee who happens to be their own turned ref. On paper it seems ridiculous and not entertaining at all. In reality it was glorious.

Really loved this segment. DDP is again awesome, as is Sting. Admittedly it is odd to see Savage this composed, even if I didn't think about it watching the segment.

This is an excellent Hogan promo as a complete bully heel. I love how he knows he's got Piper in the most vulnerable position possible and is out to take full advantage. Which of course works out against him.

Pretty good segment I thought. Less is more right? Also, I enjoyed stomperspc's ideas about who Sting has chosen to associate with.

I enjoyed Shawn showing actual fear when Taker came out. If I had to point to one segment where Shawn actually comes across as sympathetic since early 96, it's this one. Bret is indeed a dick here, but that seems to be what he's going for now. SCSA did give the best promo of the bunch.
