Talk about it here.

Stevie Ray rallies the B-team troops and promises to smooth things over with the A-team in a series of terribly constructed vignettes where we can barely hear them since they are near a tarmac. It looks like they are about to finally kick the B-teamers out, but instead, the B-teamers are eating each other alive. So Nash felt the NWO should be more elite and took booking efforts in that direction but was afraid to go all the way. Curt Hennig ends up kicked out, but remains a heel upon leaving the group and ends up teaming with the equally heatless Barry Windham. WCW should have made a faction of second generation wrestlers that had been turned to the point no one cared about them. I'm not even sure why the vignettes continued after they kicked Hennig out. Everyone is talking at the same time and there seems to be no storyline purpose. WCW wasn't sophisticated enough to produce these things.

I never understood the point of giving Curt the boot. With how he'd been booked since Fall Brawl '97, there was no way anyone was going to feel a lick of sympathy for him.

A guy like Stevie Ray being in the NWO made no sense to me. Him and Booker breaknig up is like when WWE broke up the Dudleys, it makes no sense. Hogan continues to have a mid life crisis dressing 20 years younger than he really is.

This was crap all around. Stevie cant see the writing on the wall that he is on the B-team. Then Hennig gets jumped when he has been nothing but really loyal and actually put his neck out on the line a lot more than most NWO members. Stevie is wearing a $500 shirt. This felt like Nash booking for himself.

Gee, who do you think Stevie's trying to rip off with the look and all the talk of his "$500 shirt"? The Wolfpac arrive on a private jet and make noise about "trimming the fat," but the only fat that gets trimmed is Curt Hennig. Vincent, Adams, Horace, Norton, and Stevie remain. Then the group arrives in a box and we get an entire segment revolving around Stevie Ray's choice of attire. Fascinating.
