    They missed my favourite moment of the intro: Xpac walking alongside the garbage truck, WALKING ALONGSIDE. He puts his arms in the air and says: 'Wooo! lookatme!' Summation of Sean Waltman's fucking character in one clip.

    Bryan mentioned how cocky Bischoff was then commented how only four years later WCW was dead. This is true. But the rot set in earlier than that. About a year after this Raw got ahead in the ratings and never looked back. The WWF ran a marathon. WCW thought it was a sprint

    The problem with the VR review is that Bryan did it with Dave Meltzer right after the PPV on Observer Radio and that review is nothing special really. That's why Bryan and Vinny didn't do a full review on the following B&V Show. The only thing they did, was Vinny giving some thoughts on that horrible PPV ;)

    Never seen this PPV. I think it was a good idea having an NWO PPV because it sold further them as a separate entity as WCW. And I guess it shows their growing power and ego, but sounds like they pulled it off really bad.
    I disagree with them on a couple points. Firstly why are they knocking Bischoff for being cocky? He's a heel! He's supposed to be cocky! And the other thing I like the detail of the NWO ring annoncer burying the WCW guys. That makes perfect sense to me on an NWO event.

    WCW PPVs were always garbage, but the reality is that WCW was crushing WWF for all of 1997.
    Thunder was not a bad show at first, but it turned into a jobber fest when they didn't really have the roster for a 3 hour show and a 2 hour show.

      +Alphonzo316 I agree that overall the wrestling in WWF was better at this point, but I don't agree that WCW sucked wrestling wise. The Cruserweight division was very strong with some great wrestling, the mid-card guys like Melanko and Benoit had some great matches. I think this was one of the best periods in wrestling history. I think both companies were going strong creative wise and in ring.

All I have heard was Bryan calling the main event -*****; although I would love to know what Bryan gave Jake Roberts Vs.Jim Neidhart on Heroes of Wrestling main event because Jeff Hardy Vs. Sting cannot possibility be worst than that one.

    • @CCLonYT
      @CCLonYT 6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Not sure what Bryan gave Roberts vs. Neidhart, but he gave The Bushwhackers vs. Iron Sheik and Nikolai Volkoff from the same Heroes of Wrestling show "minus more stars than there are in the universe, and the universe is infinite". Dave Meltzer gave the "slightly better" rating of absolute zero.

    Great concept but Bischoff basically phoned it in, it felt like the WCW guys didn't give a shit what was happening, like they were on vacation. There was even a contest to find a nWo girl and it was the ugliest women taking part of it. Like EB made a point to sink the show. But by doing that missed his chance to have a genuine nWo show after Nitro. This showed signs of the beginning of the end. Worst PPV show of all time. They were G I L *N* F. !!!
