The biggest problem the nWo had was the other channel had Mr. McMahon vs. Steve Austin. The nWo story was the same old thing while WWE felt fresh every week.
This NWO was the Best Faction and Storyline Ever ❤
I like Eric being honest about Hulk/Hall/Nash getting "comfortable" (lazy) a year and a half in to the NWO storyline.
One of the biggest problems was over-saturation. In 1998 Nitro expanded to 3 hours and Thunder added another 2 hours. The pacing of Nitro suffered, and the addition of another prime-time show stretched creative pretty thin.
Did you ever think of using Hart, his brother-in-law's, and Jericho, as a new faction to take on the NWO?
Growing up I didn't like eric, but now I respect this man. I was and am still a huge sting fan. Who else would want to meet eric
I clicked in when it said 83 seconds ago. Awesome.
The end of the NWO should have been Hogan turning face again.
I think the thing is, they kept dominating instead of building a lot of people up, making it even on both playing fields.
Nwo had two many people in it
I was always a hardcore WWF guy, but I must admit, that first yr or so of the NWO storyline had me flipping channels every couple minutes... Back and forth, back and forth, back and forth all Monday night! Such a fun time in wrestling... When me and my buddies would get to school on Tuesday it was all wrestling talk, 3 out of 7 of us was WCW all the way, and all we heard was how it was over for WWF now that the NWO was hot... They gave it hell, but couldn't put Vinny M in the dirt! Needless to say, by 1999 my buddies were no longer foreseeing the death of the WWF... LOL. Such great memories
Luger beat Hogan on nitro.
I have never really had a very high opinion of Eric. When he is being seemingly honest and introspective he’s absolutely riveting. Love this episode.
I've listened to 83 weeks so much that I can tell 5 minutes in advance when bischoff is going to bring up the Nitro book by Guy Evans, and whenever Conrad rocks in his chair it reminds me of Jesse Ventura
It seemed like it started going downhill when Bret came over. Maybe not because of Bret but it definitely started to get crunchy.
The biggest problem was Hogan having to come out of promos, segments, matches (even the ones he lost), looking better than everyone.
Scott Hall & Kevin Nash's invasion was epic, and the perfectly executed invasion angle. The Main Event of WrestleMania V (Hulk Hogan & Macho Man Randy Savage) executing the Hulk Hogan heel turn made it even more epic. Many of us fans couldn't wait for next week's Nitro to see who the nWo brought in next. So, while this was discussed with such a negative tone during the discussion, many of us enjoyed & looked forward to the next nWo member reveal. The WCW Nitro era was a lot of fun.
I enjoyed the original version it felt fresh and cool especially when the group was smaller,then it was like everyone was was a part of the story.
Great episode. Souled Out wasnt that bad, and agree with building a brand. I caught it on accident one night on my girlfriends parents chipped cable box late night and was hooked. The looks, style, throwing of the trash, everything just screamed....new. I never missed an episode of Nitro or Thunder until the end because of that PPV.
Goldberg Vs Hollywood was one of the biggest nights..... EVERYONE was talking about that short build up...what a night
