Loss Posted January 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2012 Last few minutes. Pretty okay action with lots of good selling. There's a ref bump and then we get TONS of run-ins. We start with Jimmy Hart. Savage manhandles him, and Flair comes behind and decks Savage with brass knucks. Luger is covering Savage but the ref is still out. Hogan catches Flair on the way back. He can't touch anyone because he's on probation. He's about to hit Luger, Sting comes in to calm him down, and he ends up accidentally punching Sting instead and they start fighting with Savage trying to make piece. Sting says Luger is just mixed up in the head and as his best friend, he's trying to help him get his head on straight. He says that they didn't give him a chance, which is why he turned on them. Some version of this plays itself out every week on Nitro for the rest of the year. Sting was already established as so dumb by this point that I guess making him dumb with Luger wasn't hurting anything that wasn't already established.

Tim Evans Posted September 2, 2012 Report Share Posted September 2, 2012 So why is Jimmy Hart managing Luger? I mean Luger helped Sting try to eliminate Giant in the battle royal. LOL at Bischoff getting shots in at Vince over HBK. Talking about how WCW wrestlers fight through injury even though Savage admitted he was injured at the ppv.

El-P Posted November 25, 2013 Report Share Posted November 25, 2013 The match was actually really good. Simple as hell but very efficient, with Savage trying to injure Luger's right arm. Luger's selling was excellent. Flair's run in was pretty damn funny, and this is the first step toward a renewed Flair vs Savage feud. The post-match arguing worked well, I didn't think Sting came off dumb here, more like really faithfull to his old friendship with Luger to the point of finding him excuses. And since Savage is basically a psycho and Hogan is an asshole, well, why not ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteF3 Posted December 5, 2014 Report Share Posted December 5, 2014 Pretty decent action down the stretch, with Savage doing a great job of selling the arm (ALL PART OF THE PLAN, BROTHER). Finish is a clusterfuck but it looked for a few seconds like they'd actually put the title on Luger. Then some intrigue as Hogan--on "probation" for clobbering a ref last week--puts his hands on Randy Anderson to break up the count. The crowd is once again not appreciative of Hogan's involvement but he's a little more justified this time--his buddy was down 3 to 1, after all. Then Hogan accidentally punches Sting(!) in the process of going after Luger--I had no memory of this so that got a big "oooh" from me. Once again we get the babyfaces bickering with each other. This is something that as mentioned, happens a *lot* on these early Nitros, but this is still pretty compelling stuff with guys being remarkably consistent from week to week (Hogan points out that it was Savage who had Luger pegged correctly from the start.) HUGE missed opportunity not to run the MegaPowers vs. Luger & Sting on PPV. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
