This is exactly what Meltzer was talking about a couple weeks ago in regards to the nWo making WCW look uncool in that storyline. You have the biggest main eventers in the sport coming to the ring with the biggest rock star in basketball fresh off winning the championship and the crowd going apeshyt.

meanwhile WCW had Karl Malone to counter :francis: someone who was uncool at the time let alone now
But WCW WAS uncool :heh:. If for this conversation we pretend that kayfabe is real and nwo isn't a part of WCW, yeah, them dudes are not cool. Wcw was always viewed as some southern hillbilly shyt to me for the most part until like 96. I still watched because of Rick Rude or Steiner bros or Sid, but WCW still has fukkin col parker and the faces of fear and bullshyt all thru it.


Nwo didn't make WCW look uncool. Their presence MADE THE COMPANY COOL.

I'm talking about within the context of storyline/kayfabe only. Obviously the nWo is what made the WCW product cool/relevant, but just within storylines nWo were supposed to be heels and the WCW side of things just looked like chumps most of the time. In hindsight they should've just went all the way with it and had the nWo take over the company but the one episode they did a full nWo takeover of Nitro didn't do what they were hoping for in the ratings and it scared them off entirely of that idea.

Savage smokin the stogie on the hood :wow:

Honestly surprised no one else has come out to Voodoo Child, not even the Stevie Ray Vaughn version.

fukk hogan but this was the GOAT nwo moment to me. Of them ALL.

Underrated: NASH's swag with the cigar and the title :takedat:

I might be mixing this up with a different Nitro, but I think Syxx had a match this same night and Hall and Nash were putting cigar ash on whoever he was facing.

Exactly, if you tell that company they could be as poppin as ever but need to sacrifice the image of their old guard, they do that 10 times out of 10.
