How many of you still get chills around 0:27-0:37?... I do. When Bobby "The Brain" Heenan says "We are at war!" at the height of that song, that's what really gets me, in my opinion...
THE REBOOT. Very nice. Thanks for uploading these, I was following krazeman's Nitros from 95-98ish, now we have these Russo era ones that are the worst of the worst for some finality.
What I learned from how Russo and McMahan ran their respective companies is this: For a pro wrestler and your boss's first name is Vince, RUN! RUN AND DO NOT LOOK BACK! Because, more likely, they will be horrible at their job.
This is the reason Mark Madden announced to the world that no one tunes in to see DQs: Russo got sick and tired of everyone telling him that DQs suck and there were too many on the show. So he fed this to Madden, followed it right up with three straight DQs, and laughed his ass off all night. The jackass deserves no sympy.
So in just this month alone we had all the titles vacated, 5 different world champions (Sid, Vacant, Jeff Jarrett, DDP and David Fucking Arquette) Hulk Hogan vs Billy Kidman, Babyface Scott Steiner and blood falling from the ceiling. Goddamn it Russo.
I often wonder if when Russo finished writing one of these shows would he actually sit back and think "There, all done" and be satisfied like he thought it was good?
*Regarding Awesome jumping to WCW from ECW, WCW actually paid a fee to ECW as he DID in fact have a valid two year contract with them. It was a six figure fee and then WCW did virtually nothing with him.*
@@EvanSchatz *Good point, though with Awesome they signed him in a fairly unique way in that they bent over backwards to sign him, it wasn't just a generic signing of a free agent.*
They didn't pay anything until Paul Heyman produced the contract. WCW was told by Awesome that there was no valid contract, signed him and then found out there WAS a contract, and there were rumours the Fat Chick Thriller persona was punishment for the trouble he caused.
I know for a fact that Russo came out to “Iron Man” without watching this Nitro because Cornette references it in that infamous shoot interview in front of his fireplace.
As Craig said, it wouldnt gave been "good" but it would have been better if Bischoff took the millionaires club and Russo took the New Blood. What they did made no sense.
Exactly. Bischoff could have said hey these are the guys that built this company and you're coming in here with your mid card jabronis trying to take their spots or whatever and maybe have a 5 on 5 elimination match at Havoc or BATB if the angle isnt planned for that long and have big stakes on the result

I like that Hogan hated when people mentioned his bald spot, yet he was fine doing it in 2002 with Kurt Angle.
In fairness, Kurt Angle was also balding. From one baldie to another, ya know?
Fair enough.
sweet!
have a few hours of work to do, now i got something to listen to while i do it.
thanks for these!

*Red liquid falling from the ceiling. Turner Standards and Practices would not let them call it blood. Seriously.
Awwwww here it goes
"Daisy Chain with a furry"
I'm a furry myself, and saw this ep myself. How Vinny describes it was not wrong.
I often wonder if when Russo finished writing one of these shows would he actually sit back and think "There, all done" and be satisfied like he thought it was good?
Course he did, man. That's the kind of guy he is.
Good review
Road warrior Vince

To be fair, WCW gave out six figures plenty of times to get absolutely nothing in return

56:17 I laughed way harder than I should have at Hogi-Wan Kenobi lol

Can we have March 2000 please?

Do you have any WCW 99 like June or July?
I have everything from March 98 up to February of 2001.
