Now we have the famous and also horrible old vs young feud WCW tried to do in 1999 and they picked Bagwell to build around. Piper asked how many times Bagwell has fought at Madison Square Garden, and Bagwell says "I wasn't born yet", so I guess Bagwell wasn't alive in the 1980s. Pretty flat, although Piper tried for once.

What the fuck was this mess. On any other show, this would be the worst thing happening. Here, it is just a confusing segment. Piper buries Bagwell and WCW by not ever wrestling in the mecca of pro wrestling despite being in the biz for 8 years. I don't really know what giving the ball to him implies at GAB. Also, they are running Piper vs. Flair again???? WHY?

Yeah, the idea of Piper vs. Flair AGAIN for control of the company AGAIN is just flabbergasting. Piper chastises Buff for not main eventing MSG, because there's nothing like outright telling your audience how much better and more prestigious the competition is. WCW is turning into TNA by the minute. I suppose I should be thankful that there's *some* attempt at using Piper to try to put over youngish talent--I wouldn't necessarily do it with Buff, but I'll chalk that up as a simple difference of opinion. No, the execution is where this really fails. On its own, this is a bad but not horrible segment that I suspect is going to lead to much worse things.
