[1998-01-15-WCW-Thunder] The Giant and Kevin Nash

[Loss]

Talk about it here.

[soup23]

The Giant says that Nash will feel the chokeslam at Souled Out. Raven's flock gets completely taken out by Giant. Nash comes out to goad Giant as they were unable to touch until their match at the PPV. Nash throws hot coffee in his face and continues to berate him as they head to the locker room.

If anyone else walked to the ring sipping on a cup of coffee, you would immediately know something was up. Knowing Nash however, it doesn't seem that out of place. Of course, the coffee does end up all over the Giant anyway. We get an early glimpse at the Giant acting emotionally distraught, which we would get a lot more of years later in WWE.

AHH, THE CHOKESLAM! Lodi starts walking around ringside with a Nash Rules sign, which again, if he's not in the NWO really undermines them as this outsider renegade organization. I guess there's only so long that could last anyway. The Flock run in and take bumps for The Giant. It looks horrible because everyone is politely waiting for their turn to take a bump instead of timing it better, Van Hammer being the highlight. Nash comes in at the end and gets in Giant's face in an attempt to get him to violate his restraining order by throwing hot coffee in his face and taunting him all the way back to the dressing room.

Oh come on, who's going to be "surprised" by the CHOKESLAAAAM at this point? Not sure why Lodi is pro-Nash all of a sudden but he's an effective enough sacrificial lamb. The whole Flock gets taken out with Kidman borrowing the Spike Dudley bump over the guardrail from the ring. Nash is out dressed to the nines in pajama bottoms and flip-flops as they push this ridiculous legal angle--to paraphrase a line from The Force Awakens, THAT'S NOT HOW RESTRAINING ORDERS WORK.

Giant gives us his own rendition of the "wrist bone is connected to the arm bone, the arm bone is connected to the ..." song which ends with him gargling the words "choke slam" to finish. Then the emo-spirit squad hits the ring to get taken out. Then out comes Nash, who Giant can't touch before Souled Out, with pajama pants, sandals, a syxx shirt and coffee to antagonize Giant.

 

RATING: Nash antagonizes me just by appearing on my TV.
