It ain't the '97 ones that are the problem... it's when you get to around '99 and they still doin' that shyt, and now it's way less exciting to watch cause they've been doin' it for three years, broke up, got together, now Brutus Beefcake and Dusty Rhodes and Mike Rotundo and everybody's in that shyt...

You don't even have to get to 1999. shyt immediately falls off a cliff at the start of 1998. Everything had built to Sting killing the NWO at Starrcade, and then he didn't, and there was no more story. So they did the split, which went on for like 5 months but nothing really happened from week to week.
Low key, perfect and rude were amazing heels, maybe the best in WCW or a period of time because they really didnt need the nWo rub at ALL but it made them bigger a$$holes somehow.
Held the midcard down...nWo A- squad, NOT b-squad

Truth is WWE has never been shyt when it's had to stand on its own with stealing talent or ideas from competition
Watching Royal Rumbles prove how far someone can come in a year or two...sometimes you'll see someone who didn't appear to be a future main event talent, and then by the following Rumble they're one of the stars of the show. The Rocky Maivia who entered the '97 Rumble did jackshyt, he was the biggest heel in the '98 Rumble. Austin was brand new in '96 and didnt even have the Stone Cold persona yet... wins the whole damn thing in '97. Cena's rap gimmick was still rough around the edges in '03, but he was one of the favorites in '04. Ziggler and Miz got tossed out their first Rumble in like 10 seconds, both were in title matches by 2011...
makes me wonder, who right now that doesn't seem to have a chance, probably gets tossed in this year's Rumble with no fanfare, but ends up super-over by the time '18 rolls around...

WAAAAAAAAY TOO MUCH Comedywatching 97 raws

NWO Souled Out is one weird fukking ppv. I hadn't seen it before.
In some ways I like it....it seems pretty ahead of it's time and it's doing something genuinely different with the ppv format The entrance set up was sick. But mayne there is some awkward ass moments on this show. The whole Ms. NWO is just
Bischoff tonguing down some hideous meth head looking biker rat
WHAT THE fukk
He's a legend but Ted Diabese was fukking garbage on commentary. Like embarrassingly awful.
Bubba running over Hugh Morris with a Harley
Straight up drizzzling shyt matches like Buff v Scotty Riggs
Eddie v Waltman was the only decent match on there but still nothing special really for a ladder match.
Bizarre show.
Wrestlers don't get over organically like Rock and Austin any more though...so in answer to your question, probably no one.

Monday night raw starts, stonecold getting the new belt, stunnering vince, etc...a GOAT SEGMENT
Nitro opens up 9 oclock with...Prince Iueka vs. Glacier
Wow.
This is the same WCW that would have a full hour of unopposed air time against Raw and not only wouldn't put a single match on, but they wouldn't even have a single live shot for the whole hour. Putting HV vs Beverly Brothers against the Raw after WM (which wasn't nearly as big of deal then, to be fair) seems pretty reasonable.

Yea these 3 hour Nitros are damn near impossible to sit thru 
its just a whole lot of trash. By 98' things were a complete clusterfukk, and the 3 hour format really exposed them. There are some episodes that Bret Hart are not even on at all or he'd have a 5 minute interview spot and that would be it for him the rest of the night. this is coming off him being the hottest wrestler in the business a couple months before. Meanwhile Bischoff would have like 3 in ring segments, then you'd have Wrath, Glacier, and Horace Hogan hogging screen time ..just inexcusable shyt
