[1997-04-28-WCW-Nitro] Wolfpac promo

[Loss]

Talk about it here.

The NWO take over the broadcast booth. Scott Hall is back from rehab, and they have new shirts -- same nWo logo, with "4 Life" added right below. Hall has fun heeling on Flair and Piper in front of this Norfolk crowd. Nash insists that at Slamboree, they get 75% of the gate.

 

Nash keeps throwing in a "Hollywood, we miss you" line at the end of his segments, which I'm thinking might be an inside joke.

Hall is back. Heenan has the fastest 0 to 50 when bolting from the announce desk when the NWO always shows up.

I don't know why Tony and Co didn't make a bigger deal out of Hall being there unless we missed something. We also get some Hall and Larry Z teases. This was one of my least favorite NWO stuff with too much inside lingo like talking about the gate.

Scott Hall was back the previous week already.

Cool to see the Wolfpack together. Them and Hogan should have been the nWo.

Nash and Hall blow off Flair and Piper's challenge for that night. Little else of substance is said. Actually, one other reason Raw has been the better show of late is that WCW is starting to get plagued by the same problems hitting the WWE now: segments are starting to feel very scripted and planned, and the spontaneity and unpredictability of '97 Raw and '96 Nitro just isn't there anymore. People come out, hit their spots and catchphrases, and go home.
