Finally, a funny skit!

 

The chyron reads "Huckster and Nacho Man: Recently injured by ladies shoe". At another point, Hogan goes to attack Larry Fling with a chair. Larry Fling holds up a high heel and the Huckster immediately backs down. The Nacho Man also says the reason people wear the Huckster's merchandise is because they give it out for free to people at ringside in exchange for a promise that they'll be shown on TV.

Larry calls Huckster and Nacho Man a couple of sells out. WWF has been having fun with the woman's shoe bit. Larry asks how's Liz and both answer at the same time which is a good one. The sound effects were goofy but they worked when Larry pulled out the women's shoe to intimidate Huckster.

Back to the spirit of the first War Room skits, with some more on-the-nose jokes about WCW booking and Hulk AstroTurfing, with some staggeringly unnecessary poopy sound effects. And the whining about how the WWF "made" Hogan and Savage stars is pretty pathetic, but this is a little bit better than the past few segments. Were they insinuating that Larry King was boffing Jane Fonda?

As much as I would not be a wrestling fan now if I had dipped in at this point of Raw and Nitro (and both shows suck more than they don't right now), I find Vince's humor mostly falls flat here.  Yes, that whole woman's shoe thing is beyond ridiculous and well-played here.  I would argue that very often Vince's shows,  for reasons not dealing with the talent, are equal or worse than Nitro more often than not and better maybe once.

Maybe you clean up your own house before shit-talking the other guy's house.
