Talk about it here.

NWO picketers come out of the entrance way, followed by Hall, Nash and Syxx. Hall says this Saturday, the NWO is taking over the Cable Ace Awards.

 

Hall says he has been watching Larry since he was a kid, the start of another long angle.

 

Hall also plugs the new NWO website. Nash tells Larry his shirt is nice and asks him if he got a cup of soup with that, which makes Tony legit start laughing on the air where he can't hide it.

 

Nash says they aren't content with just having Saturdays. The NWO wants Nitro. Nash suggests Tony and Larry sell their houses and get double wides because they're about to be out of jobs.

for those keeping track that was a Caddyshack reference from Ol' Kev. I wonder how much of this went over the head of the WCW audience at the time. I loved it but maybe some would say he was making too many archaic references

Tony cracking up was pretty funny.

Public Enemy hawk some Sting merchandise. Timely.

 

Hall, Nash, and Syxx are out with NWO picketers, and Hall promises that the NWO is going to crash the Cable Ace Awards this weekend. Hall quite reasonably credits the NWO for the success of Nitro. Nash isn't satisfied with one segment on Saturday Night, and declares that Hogan is going to help convert Nitro to an NWO program, based on the stipulations from winning WarGames. I'm not sure if this actually went anywhere.

Ah, the beginning of the unsung year-long feud that was blown off at Starrcade '97.

That Sting shirt was awful and $22 plus S&H? Yikes.

 

THe highlight here for me was Tony cracking up at the NWO hijinks Fall Brawl 1993 style. This was a really long term angle but one I enjoyed most of the way through and Larry was presented well.

Tony cracking up at the Caddyshack joke was pretty great.  Hall and Zbysko feuding was weird at the time, but by the time we get there I have the sneaking suspicion I'll like it more than a lot of the other nWo stuff going on.
