November 4, 201410 yr Author comment_5637931 I'm not really a Kiss fan, but even if I was, why is this on a wrestling show? Oh yeah, to debut The Demon as their own wrestler! WCW ...
November 4, 201410 yr comment_5637988 Not sure when Peter Criss's book came out, but that book made me a fan of the band. I have heard of KISS before and I have heard KISS's biggest hits, but didn't really follow them. KISS appearing on Nitro was a big WHY moment for me. WCW was trying its hardest to be WWE in 99 and 00 and everyone in charge was taking Vince McMahons' 'sports entertainment' stuff seriously and I honestly believe there was an honest attempt of doing Rock N Wrestling part II for the 2000's. Master P, KISS, the Nitro DJs, James Brown, etc. KISS was a big waste of time and was one of the signs that WCW had lost COMPLETE focus on its product.
May 31, 201510 yr comment_5671482 I like KISS but this just felt like a waste of money. I wonder how the KISS demon would have been if Brian Adams had stayed with the character.
September 22, 201510 yr comment_5699807 Kiss could've had Sting up with them on stage, the look fits. Instead they've accompanied by a Canadian soft rocker. Yeah this was a waste of money, but it was one of the few times Shuhvonney sounded genuinely enthusiastic about something on Nitro.
January 20, 20169 yr comment_5721985 Don't like KISS but I guess this was produced ok. Still, wrestling and concerts can be a nice added thing to the show but certainly shouldn't be a main focus.
October 5, 20177 yr comment_5815954 Someone on VH1's old show Rock of Ages described Kiss as "They took professional wrestling, and put it on stage"--so in some ways this is a better fit than Master P. Now, I hate Kiss, both then and now. But as a high school senior in '99 I thought the Smashing Pumpkins were the peak of musical and poetic excellence...and I wouldn't have wanted to see them on Nitro or Raw, either. And putting it in the main event slot seems particularly galling.
June 7, 20205 yr comment_5919408 I’m a huge KISS fan, definitely one of the best live acts I’ve ever seen. It is impossible not to have a huge smile on your face while Paul Stanley does his schtick. The Network cut this from Nitro? The episode was already 2 hrs 7 minutes, did they go over? Does WWE not want to pay KISS royalties. The KISS Demon wrestler is very Gene Simmons.
