March 18, 201312 yr comment_5539413 I don't get the sense that even Nikita believed in his character at this point.
March 25, 201312 yr Author comment_5539892 They show a clip from the Meadowlands of Luger vs Nikita, with Nikita getting a pin after a ref bump and a chain-wrapped Russian Sickle. I agree with Childs that he seems to be going through the motions here.
March 31, 201312 yr comment_5540496 Meadowlands highlights--Nikita wraps a chain around his arm to deliver the Russian Sickle, but mistakes Bill Alfonso's crawling for a three-count--this apparently, if I'm interpreting Nikita correctly, results in a held-up U.S. title. Nikita promises to break Luger's back, his neck, and then his spirit. I wish they would decide if Missy was a babyface or a heel already.

June 26, 201312 yr comment_5548994 After a hot start to the angle, the stuff with Nikita since has been lackluster minus his belt destroying feat. This was the worst of the bunch so far and I agree with everyone else that it felt pretty hollow.
May 13, 201510 yr comment_5668090 Nikita looked and sounded really stupid here. Once someone sees the footage, they're going to wonder how he can have any claim to the belt whatsoever. And even if he thought he did right afterward, you mean to tell me he didn't see the footage at some point and know exactly what Fonzie was doing? The only thing this does is provide a reason (at least in Nikita's mind) to destroy the US belt. You can tell that Dusty had no confidence in this angle to help out pay-per-view sales; this was supposed to be one of WCW's hottest angles of the year, and yet less than three weeks after this at SuperBrawl, Luger would be teaming with Sting against the Steiners, while Nikita would be relegated to the second match on the card against Tommy Rich. Coming out of SuperBrawl, Nikita would be working with Sting instead, at least on TV. Talk about a waste of time that ended up going nowhere. I forgot to add that he's starting to lose his accent noticeably here. In a way, that's understandable since he's been in the U.S. for so long (in character), but it really takes away from his menace. I think that Missy's still a heel except when she's around either Heyman or Ron Simmons (if the angle where she's supposed to advise him hasn't been completely forgotten by now).
