January 24, 201114 yr Author comment_5462806 Hogan, Hall and Nash are somewhere in the arena sitting on a couch doing an interview that's not that great. Hogan is awesome here, talking about how he doesn't like the look of the belt and suggests redesigning it or melting it down. Hall and Nash are okay, but Hogan is the highlight here, as Nash tries to use one of Hogan's old "Whatcha gonna do?" lines and Hogan is so committed to reinventing himself that he corrects him.
March 7, 201411 yr comment_5592530 Yeah, kinda half-ass promo, and Hogan shines more than the other two here. You can see he was already having a blast working heel at this point.
March 19, 201510 yr comment_5659360 I thought Hall and Nash singing the praises of SENIOR REFEREE Nick Patrick to be really funny. Hogan is great here, and Hall & Nash are fun in this casual environment for a wrestling promo. The 4th man is ostensibly here, but is told to stay off-camera.
September 9, 201510 yr comment_5697909 Enjoyed this but it does show the early stages of the program as a whole as they were still trying to hammer out the amount of edge and insider nature of each of the promos in the NWO.
May 5, 20223 yr comment_5980648 The Flair/Savage match from this Nitro was really strong in the ***3/4 range. I will re-watch and make a thread for it. I didnt like this segment. This felt like it normalized the NWO. The subsequent got the feel back that the NWO were Outsiders/Invaders that dont belong on the show. This one show made them feel like they were WCW wrestlers. I am glad they turned the ship around in the weeks after this. Hogan's promo with Mean Gene also was a problem. Mean Gene interviewing Hogan made it feel too normal. Thankfully Mean Gene has not interviewed them since. It just felt like Gene was out there with anyone else. Yes Hogan as a heel has novelty but it still was too much normalization. On top of that, the big climax of Flair being a "stupid little man" was so bad. This type of stuff doesnt make them feel special. On top of that the content was not great, Hogan's complaining of the belt weight, the awkward exchange between Hogan & Nash over Hogan's catchphrase was so weird.
February 24Feb 24 comment_6028012 I'll third (or whatever) Hogan being the highlight here. And I agree with Sleeze. This is too normal WCW for the NWO. If you get a chance to watch the full Nitro, the crowd is awesome and well worth watching the whole show for.
