Wasn't Shamrock close to Bret? I think Shamrock trained with Bret in early 97.

Thanks, fixed. Mutoh vs. Tenryu (6/8/01) is wrong as well.

Financially I guess it wasn't: It drew the second lowest buyrate of the year (Slamboree was a bit lower) and one of the lowest in WCW history. I remember the whole thing just beeing so uneven: on the one hand you had the really different feel of the show (production wise etc.), on the other hand there were these endless Miss nWo segments, a pretty bad show wrestling wise and a bad crowd. The WCW guys getting screwed was almost comical, but I guess that was the whole premise of the show. It might have been better if they did a nWo Clash of the Champions followed by a normal WCW PPV instead of the other way around like they did.

I'll give this one a try. The link for Akiyama vs. Kobashi (12/13/00) in the Excel file is wrong as is Kobashi vs. Takayama (5/26/00) and Akiyama vs. Kobashi (8/6/00).

Back in 97 I thought they screwed up the elimination order a bit and "Diesel" was supposed to be eliminated before Austin, but watching this back it is obvious that he is there for Bret to be distracted. I guess the rationale for having a final four instead of a final five is that Jacobs was eliminated by Bret and not by Austin.

In this case "never" lasted longer than the average Terry Funk retirement. Had they any immediate plans for Funk back then? I would suppose not with Funk being ECW bound at that point, but still. I remember reading in Foley's first book that he suggested a hardcore series against Funk, but I think that was 98, not 97.

Is there a list for the songs used on this set?

Shawn's a bad face promo, as a heel we was usually pretty effective (might be reflective of his real-life personality ).I have to agree with the assessment that Sid's promos are carrying the fued at this point. Shawn did not seem interrested at this feud anyway, maybe he was already looking past that at a Bret Hart fued.

Shotgun might have run longer if they only did one episode a month as some sort of special.
-
I am a bit surprised that Marlena taking off her top is not on the set as I think that is the most memorable thing on the first Shotgun episode.

I did not know anything about backstage politics at all back then but even I thought it was strange that this was the fifth WWF belt that Shawn did not lose in the ring (his 2nd and 3rd IC title, both tag titles with Nash plus this). Two more were coming up in the following year.
