WCW Monday Nitro Live Watch-Along: From the Beginning

Also, I found out that guy that I commented on basically was stealing stings aesthetic but instead of a scorpion he had a cobra on his pants. Well apparently he continues to bite sting because that is the fake/NWO sting Jeff Farmer lol

 

[Tremendez]

Again, you notice Sting's blond hair starting to dissipate

It’s very much intentional. Because this is right around the time that Lex Luger has turned heel and he’s trying to corrupt sting to the dark side.

It's actually kind of wild how in 96 we get that weird middle ground of Surfer sting and Crow sting

They were very much toying with the idea of turning sting and they came very close to doing it.

 

[Tremendez]

Way too convoluted of a reason to do this match though.

We could’ve just did what we do after this year and just they got a title shot at Super Brawl guys.

Jimmy should get his lawyers out here because if the contract said what it said Giant should still be the champion.

 

[Tremendez]

Fuck Nick Lambros.

 

[Tremendez]

I get it though. They needed a reason for people to tune in for a first time pay-per-view.

to be fair that's not what he said. he said Hogan would lose the title on DQ. Not that Giant would WIN it

 

[Barry Poppins]

I still love that they actually got Turner's legitimate lawyer to come in and do that

 

[Tremendez]

Imagine though coming up with the yeti character seeing how badly it was perceived at Halloween havoc and still thinking that that would be a draw to order this pay-per-view.

I mean for all of wrestling history if you lose a title versus DQ the other guy wins it.

 

[R-Troop]

so the crowd doesn't give a shit about the show and is doing the wave lol

 

[Barry Poppins]

Mars still probably unnerved by no-moustache Hogan

According to Jimmy Hart all that happens is Hogan loses the title. Also to be fair you can argue that Hogan shouldn't have been DQed as the person who caused the DQ was actually working for Giant
