I really liked Sting's part in this. And I agree that Savage looks really horrible just kowtowing to Hogan after all he endured during the initial part of the nWo angle. I take Bischoff and Hogan's bravado about Schiller as more of a heel lie than any kind of truth.

I was wondering why they had a bunch of no-name guys the crowd had no interest at all in come out for this. I will admit that it is indeed ballsy, as was most of the early nWo stuff. This seemed like a stinker from conception though. They really did kill a hot crowd.

I really enjoyed this, but I thought Schiller was the wrong guy for it. You can literally see he doesn't want to be on TV. The idea behind the segment is solid and Bischoff really carried it.

LOVED the Lawler vs. Heyman stuff. The match is fine for a garbage match.

I also did not get the finish. Looked like a Roadies squash to me from the get-go.

Fun TV match, I liked the banter between King and Heyman a lot.

I'll agree. Lawler showing his ass made this for sure.

What a great segment. Bischoff is slimy, Luger is both smart and into it. Sting is mysterious. Wonderful stuff all around.

I love the way the announcers put this over. They leave no doubt that the nWo is stronger than it has ever been. I'd say it also freshens up the nWo as well as Savage.

What a great start to a feud. I barely remember this stuff, so I'm very much looking forward to it.

Faces of Fear are all-time favorites for me and this match showcases why. They are huge, powerful monsters who know how and when to show ass just enough to let their smaller opponents look good. I really wish WCW had put them in more matches like this.

I can see all the explanations making sense. I can also see this actually putting more questions about the Sting character in the mind of viewers despite him not being around for this specific finish. Either way, they could have done way more for letting people know what happened. Not a great finish.

I feel like tomorrow night Bischoff will take the titles back for Hall & Nash. And probably bitch a lot about Lex. I did like the way they did this a lot and it is easily the best of the 3 matches as far as a satisfying finish for the crowd.

I thought this was one of Malenko's better PPV matches since early 96. Syxx really brought a lot of good stuff here (from what little I saw) that covered up some of the thigns Malenko has not gotten right in the past. Finish is iffy at very best and probably woefully bad.

Much better match than I expected with Bret working on top in a very believable way against Sid. The finish was obvious from the booking of the earlier parts of the show, but it doesn't distract from the match.

Lawler and Heyman actually do hate each other from my understanding. Didn't that stem from Lawler always putting down ECW?

How soon before hey lose Gorilla? He absolutely does not fit. Austin fixating on Bret is leading us down a glorious road.

Good promo from Marlena. doesn't seem like Goldust has figured out how to do the gimmick and be a babyface yet. Chyna sure did rough Marlena up.

I have really come around to Hogan as a promo. He's got that coked out, 1980s style that Piper has but with enough discipline to make it work in a shortened amount of time.

This made no sense at all. Wouldn't you destroy that tape???

This was a great segment for so many reasons. The pyro for Randy Anderson, the chants for him, the knucks thing, Bischoff's bullying. So great. There's really no payoff???

Crazy Piper promo that sounds legit, check. But the whole Alcatraz thing is super weird and completely unbelievable. Still, Roddy can sure cut a (not a) promo.

Obvious copy of the Rock thing in the WWF and I agree that it was a dumb thing to do. Raw is a mess and they are throwing everything at the wall in hopes that something sticks. Why copy that?

I have no memory of the Mongo/Jarrett match coming up at SuperBrawl, but I haveto think there is some sort of ulterior motive for HughMorrus to be working over Mongo's leg. Not a great match, but probably Mongo's most coherent one to date.

Sid also looked really tepid out there. Kind of a mess of a segment and I'm happy I didn't have full Raw's for the last few weeks. Does not look like much good is going on at the high end and midcard has been a mess on Raw for a while.
