[1997-10-13-WCW-Nitro] DDP vignette

[Loss]

Talk about it here.

DDP talks in the Power Plant about how he has yet to reach his goals in wrestling and isn't quite sure what success looks like. He also hypes the Savage match at Havoc. I like DDP, but I was ready for this to end about 30 seconds in.

He made sure to note that Slim Jim is sponsoring Halloween Havoc.

This tried a little too hard. Page tries to present himself as still being hungry but the different cuts and closeup made it too produced for my liking.

[El-P]

Way too many cuts and shots indeed. And DDP isn't exactly cutting a money promo either. B+ for effort though, but those WCW vignettes just don't look half as good as the nWo ones.

This starts off as an NXT-style inside look at a star on the rise, then we make a sharp left turn and get a bunch of clumsy exposition about the DDP-Savage stipulations at Slim Jim's Halloween HavocTM.

 

For some reason the shot of DDP sitting down magically turning into a shot of DDP standing next to the ring, thanks to all the cuts, just cracks me up. It was intentional but it just looked like sloppy continuity. DDP is already well on his way to his motivational career with some of the platitudes he gives us here.
