Loss Posted September 17, 2013 Author Report Posted September 17, 2013 Last few minutes. Giant is selling an injured hand at this point. Hall works over Giant's hand. Nash is doing commentary. The NWO attacks when Hall goes for the chokeslam. The WCW locker room clears to start beating down the NWO. Cool moment, but Nash seems unconcerned and they are putting way too much heat on the NWO at this point. But I guess they are building to Starrcade when surely this will be blown off for good. This really does feel like the type of booking a promotion does that sincerely thinks the gravy train will never run dry. Quote
Kevin Ridge Posted September 30, 2013 Report Posted September 30, 2013 Full NWO run in to attack The Giant. WCW guys respond to this and go after NWO. Nash who is on commentary should be selling this up more since WCW has been so poor fighting off the NWO. Quote
soup23 Posted June 25, 2014 Report Posted June 25, 2014 We get our 4th NWO attack on the night and this time it is interrupted by a litany of WCW cruisers and lower level guys to build up the WW3 PPV. Fun episode of Nitro with the NWO looking really strong. Quote
El-P Posted September 20, 2014 Report Posted September 20, 2014 Good match with nice psychology and selling on both part. The WCW locker room emptying to jump on the nWo guys is fun until you realize it doesn't mean anything and it's rather just a way to show a ring saturated with bodies and remind that WWIII is the following Sunday. The nWo really has obliterated WCW during that show (and the previous ones) to a ridiculous degree. Quote
PeteF3 Posted March 10, 2016 Report Posted March 10, 2016 Welp, 6 days away from the afterthought that is World War III, better start hyping the show. Giant's hand looked impressively fucked up. No one, least of all Bischoff and WCW, and probably not the WWF either, has any idea what's to come for this promotion--so without hindsight it's hard to blame them for thinking the gravy train wouldn't run dry. That said, Bischoff's constant statements in interviews of "If it ain't broke, don't fix it" were probably a bad sign. Even the WWF had the sense to take McMahon off television after Fully Loaded '99 and freshen up the direction of the company despite Austin still going strong. Quote
