[1999-06-14-WCW-Nitro] No Limit Soldiers announcement

[Loss]

Talk about it here.

Gene Okerlund announces the Master P signing at a press conference. Yeah, that's a cool guy to make an announcement like that. Bischoff is there to represent WCW. WHY? HE HAS NO STORYLINE POWER. Konnan and Rey are in attendance. The No Limit Soldiers are in WCW, which isn't a bad idea. Bischoff talks about the positive approach they have, and I guess he's on board with making 'em say uhhh.

Please stop beating the table Konnan. Gene saying homies makes me laugh. This feels ridiculous even though P was a big name around this time. P says THE WCW too. Swoll is here too.

[Tim Evans]

HOOTIE HOO. Mean Gene introducing Master P is a trip. Rey Jr tries to utter a sentence but doesn't know what to say. Bischoff comes out like your dad trying to be hip.

[Zenjo]

Master P is coming to WCW because he loves his rasslin. They're probably paying him millions as well.

Swoll is being put over already. My past shame is that in high school I was an obsessive Smashing Pumpkins fan and a regular reader of their old Usenet newsgroup, on which a quasi-feud erupted between Pumpkins fans and Master P fans because both of them were releasing albums at the same time and both fanbases wanted to be #1 on the Billboard charts. And that and his work as a sports agent is about my entire familiarity with Mr. P. Again, hitching onto him isn't a horrible idea in the abstract but this is carried out in about as uncool of a manner as possible. Chad is right about Mean Gene--"...of such hits as 'I Miss My Homies'..." was an LOLworthy moment in a veritable sea of LOLworthy WCW moments these past couple of weeks.
