[1998-05-11-WCW-Nitro] Dusty Rhodes promo

[Loss]

Talk about it here.

Larry Zbyszko points out that Dusty's so big he could be in both NWOs at the same time. Now I wish I had counted previous segments on this show, because Larry for some reason has been on quite the fat shaming kick all night. Dusty is upset with Bischoff for phasing out the Wolfpac, taking Scott Hall off of TV and firing Syxx. He defends Nash over Hogan but says that Savage needs to stop bitching. So he's criticizing both sides. I love Dusty and he has some great lines, but there is no real focus to this.

This didn't make sense at all. Dusty seemed to be dissing Hogan, but then he went after Savage for bitching. Was this a roundabout plea for NWO unity? Why was Dusty in the NWO again? Argh.

Good lord, this was a mess. Dusty comes out and shits on everyone in the NWO essentially. I almost felt like they told Dusty to just go out and filibuster (his words) for a few minutes. This was a good snapshot of the lack of focus going on right now.

This might be the worst Dusty promo I've ever seen. More self-indulgent, overlong, and rambling than his most egomaniacal WTBS stuff. Even the "Shelter from the Storm" reference he loves to make so much seems tired. The only highlight was this being about the closest thing to honesty anyone in WCW has publicly been regarding Scott Hall's whereabouts.

Quite often while going through this yearbook i think to myself that I should just write, "Ditto what Chad said." We always seem to be on the same page.
