[1997-12-08-WCW-Nitro] Kevin Nash promo / Interview: The Giant

[Loss]

Talk about it here.

Nash calls himself the best big man wrestling has ever seen and I now remember him forcing the announcers to bill him that way when he had the book. This is a good promo to set up a match that will surely happen with Nash putting Giant over.

 

This is followed by Gene Okerlund interviewing The Giant and he looks inebriated in every segment he's in. AHHHH THE CHOKESLAM

That cast should at least be slowing The Giant down from double fisting beers.

Nash challenges the Giant to a match at Starrcade. Giant is out to respond and says he is bringing a surprise, THE CHOKESLAMMMMM.

[El-P]

Problem is with these two promos : Nash looks cool and kinda has a point about Giant challenging him while he was out injured. Meanwhile, Giant looks like a giant sweating goof. CHOKESLAAAAAAM !!! Yeah, I had to do it too to underline the fact Nash looks a lot better here.

Good enough promo from Nash, but why is the heel talking about coming back from a knee injury and issuing a challenge to the babyface? Giant responds and sounds like Shawn Michaels with the amount of downers he seems to have in his system. Nash points out that Giant is one-dimensional and only has the Chokeslam, so Giant's response is that he's bringing...the CHOKESLAM. What a rebuttal. Okerlund trenchantly points out that this will be WCW vs. the NWO. I'm pretty sure this segment didn't accomplish anything than a straight-up match announcement wouldn't have.
