[1996-09-09-WCW-Nitro] Interview: Lex Luger, Ric Flair & Arn Anderson

[Loss]

Talk about it here.

Flair and Arn are pissed because Luger doesn't know where Sting is.

 

Benoit and Mongo show up and say they knew this would happen.

 

Flair tells Luger to tell his story walking, which is a line I always love!

 

Arn does another amazing promo.

 

"Let me tell you my mindset. Forget about the fact that he's not here for the interview. I've called ahead to Winston-Salem to get myself a hospital room, because I figure I just might need it. I expect to get hurt at War Games. So does he (Flair) and so should you (Luger) and so should Sting, because you see, when you walk in War Games in the cage, you've gotta put all that on the line if you expect to get all of that. Hogan, you took a baseball bat to me. But I was up and right in your face the very next week, so apparently, I got more guts than you got talent. You tried to put my eyes out with paint. You should have used battery acid! That's what I would have done. You lit this fire! Now it's gonna burn you all to the ground!"

Arn's interview were so amazing and goosebump inducing leading up to this match.

[El-P]

Arn was doing some tremendous promo work at this time.

Not having seen WarGames I do hope Arn does something to live up to the fire-and-brimstone promos he's cutting.

This was great with Arn and Flair bringing up some great points about Sting's whereabouts. Arn carries such a great presence in regards to this stuff and actually outshines Flair here.

[tim]

They're really building this to feel like a monumental match. I've never seen it and am aware opinions diverge, so I'm looking forward to it. Good dissention-in-the-ranks story that gets played out all night.

The one thing I was thinking here was that Arn is very soon out of the picture for a long, long time.  And asking myself one question.

WHY?!?!?!?

The man was on fire with his promos.  I know Bischoff wasn't high on Flair and that's an unfortunate thing.  The unfortunate side effect is that Arn is not leading the charge against the NWO with his amazing promos.
