[Loss]

Talk about it here.

DiBiase looking sinister in a suit was awesome. He starts listing a set of demands if the NWO wins War Games.

 

Nash does a funny Ric Flair impersonation.

 

Hall creates the NWO 4 Life hand signal for the first time.

I love that when this was filmed they apparently didn't even know who the 4th man was. Just saying "Man I can't believe they didn't know it was gonna be him!"

Excellent vignette. I wonder how DiBiase would have carried on as the boss of the nWo if Eric hadn't been thrown in the mix, as he was really good here. 4 Life gang style hand-sign, yet another brillant gimmick for the nWo.

I do like the idea of DiBiase as "The Boss," but I question if he really fits in with this group. No Giant, which of course is a faux pas and a sign that the booking was both brilliant (the fake Sting angle) and chaotic at the same time. Also in an old-school touch for a new-school angle, this is naturally cut behind a steel cage, as all pre-cage-match promos should be.

DiBiase fits here and looks cooler at this moment than any previous time of the 90's. He speaks well and doesn't intrude on this vibe that these guys wouldn't mind being shown the way by big Teddy.
