We open today’s edition of WCW Monday Nitro with the Giant NOT making short work of Hacksaw Jim Duggan… because he ain’t doing a job without getting his shit in, tough guy! Hey, at least now I know it’s not just a lack of wanting to put over that German kid Alex Wright in ’99; this was fairly consistent behavior for an otherwise swell guy.
Speaking of Alex Wright, he gets beat by Lex Luger in a thing that happened and Hulk Hogan and his band of merry idiots (the Macho Man and the BOOTY MAN… fucking shoot me) overcome the odds… but the most significant piece of business is the return of the STEINER BROTHERS to WCW, where they have a match with the Road Warriors that turns out to be quite a fun spectacle before Rick eats a spiked weapon from Animal and gets pinned by Hawk. Well, that was odd… but then again, maybe it’s odd now knowing which of these teams stuck around and which didn’t.
Yeah, so other than the one tag match, this Nitro didn’t do much for me… but then again, it’s hard to get excited for this show when we’re building towards one of the most worst WCW PPVs to ever be conceived by human hands: WCW Uncensored 1996.
You know… the one with the Doomsday Cage match.
If you don’t know, here’s a refresher.
Now you do.
Fuck.
