[1997-07-28-WCW-Nitro] Randy Savage vs Scott Steiner

[Loss]

Talk about it here.

[Loss]

Last few minutes. Scott pulls off a top rope Frankensteiner. Hall and Nash end up jumping the Steiners from behind and the crowd pelts the ring with garbage in a great beatdown. The Giant ends up making the save and clears the ring. Giant wants Nash to get in the ring. They are about to get it on when the show goes off the air. We close out with a replay of Giant giving Nash a chokeslam earlier in the night.

Damn, this must be the first Steiners appearance. NWO runs down to take them out but the Giant makes the save. Doug Dillinger is way ahead of the times by wearing the big beard. NWO take big about taking on the Giant but in the end want nothing to do with him.

Top rope frankensteiner was crazy. Liz looks really good in this segment and we get a great beatdown from the outsiders with trash getting pelted. Giant runs out and wants a go at Nash as we fade to black.

We close out with a replay of Giant giving BISCHOFF a chokeslam earlier in the night.

 

Corrected. And that was one hell of a chokeslam, after Zbyszko dragged Bischoff's ass to the ring. Before that, Savage got a decent little match out of Scotty, who's heel turn is a long time overdue, as the Steiners were dull as fuck by this point, especially with Rick already being really bad. Liz looks great playing human shield like only she can. Good beatdown. I always liked the Outsiders/Savage connection in the nWo.

Decent enough match and nice to see something different ending Nitro besides some combination of Hogan, Luger, and Sting. Credit to WCW: they did go out of their way to make Giant's chokeslam of Bischoff really feel like a big moment.
