blueminister Posted January 10, 2017 Report Share Posted January 10, 2017 make it a rule to limit yourselves to one show audio clip per week, the weird fascination with the nitro party and goldberg-liz skits didn't translate at all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willninho Posted January 12, 2017 Report Share Posted January 12, 2017 So what specifically happened in the Ogawa/Hashimoto match? I saw the match and thought it was all a work and people in the yearbook thread thought so too. Bix was calling it a double cross but wasn't clear what he meant by that? It was planned all until the end when Ogawa went harder than planned so they called it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrisZ Posted January 12, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2017 It was a work in the end yes but at the time everyone was confused Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyPulis'Cap Posted January 16, 2017 Report Share Posted January 16, 2017 Really enjoyed the show this week - a pretty monumental one when you think of all the stuff that was happening all over the wrestling world at that point. Wrestling is full of 'what if's' but the Finger Poke of Doom is a pretty big one, and I've always wondered where they could've gone, if they'd gone down the route of a face Nash vs heel Hogan rather than what we got. Hindsight shows that there was probably a lot more juice in the streak and Goldberg title run, but if you watch the Starrcade match, Nash is really over coming into the match and there's a pretty sizeable face pop when he wins the match. Given the aftermath and this Nitro is so soon after that match means that isn't really discussed. Nash/Hogan was something that had been teased throughout 98 and while I'm not sure a prolonged Nash title run was the answer to combating the WWF at the time, you do just wonder how things would've played out if they hadn't gone down the finger poke route.

Matt D Posted February 8, 2017 Report Share Posted February 8, 2017 This is where I am now. As a teenager (I was ~17 when this happened), I was kind of frustrated that I couldn't talk my dad into taking to me all the way to Worcester for that Raw taping. I've been to 3 or 4 PPVs and a share of other shows in my life but I've never actually seen a title change live and that would be a big one. It probably would have been the most special moment I'd seen live in wrestling, even now, but between Foley's stock as a general human being dropping somewhat in my eyes over the years and listening to this show, I think I've finally exorcised that from my past. There is just so much reprehensible Russo crap on this show and the idea of sitting through it with my dad and trying to rationalize and explain it all to him is mortifying in retrospect. No, I'm ok I didn't go to that Raw. I'm good. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
