We’ve pretty much nihilistically destroyed this episode in the first quarter hour. The nWo sits in on commentary for the entire thing and Scott Hall does his best to bury everyone in sight, calling referee Scott Dickenson the “time to make the donuts guy” and calling Rick Steiner “Robby,” his actual name. Meng is just like, “f*ck that Doomsday DDT, pick me up and put me down and let’s leave.” The match just sort of ends about five minutes in when Scott tags in and hits a belly-to-belly. So … they’re wrestling for nothing?Īnyway, the Steiners and the Faces of Fear is always pretty good in that way certain matches are, where you can tell nobody involved talked about the match beforehand and decided to just hit each other in the face as hard as possible. You could say this is to make sure they’re the official #1 contenders, but does it even matter now? We’ve shown that the guy in charge of the company runs both WCW and the nWo, meaning he has to sanction all the title shots and can reverse them if he doesn’t like them. He just wasn’t counting on the Internet turning wrestling audiences heel at the same time.īest/Worst: The Faces Of Transitional FearĪs mentioned, the Steiners now have to open the show in a match against the Faces of Fear. The more I watch these episodes, the more I see Bischoff doing everything possible to turn the nWo into the most hated organization in wrestling history.

Nothing makes a hot title change matter less than dulling it down to corporate minutia! They even reference Anderson’s “rough year,” aka his battle with testicular cancer, before firing him. Hall wants to beat the sh*t out of Pee-Wee, but Bischoff turns it into a “payola” scandal, saying Anderson got those Souled Out tickets from someone at WCW as a gift and was thereby violating company policy. This week’s Nitro STARTS with the nWo in the booth, and Bischoff calling out Randy Anderson so he can reverse the decision and publicly fire him. If you were hoping someone from WCW would step in, validate the title change and take a stand against the nWo … brother, what show are you watching? Eric Bischoff immediately insisted that the decision would be reversed, and spent the rest of the night openly complaining about it. In roughly three hours of nWo Souled Out, there was one pro-WCW moment: referee Randy Anderson jumping the rail in street clothes to count the three on Scott Hall and give the Steiner Brothers the WCW Tag Team Championship.

He competed in New England and East Coast independent promotions during the 1980s and 1990s, most notably as a mainstay of International World Class Championship Wrestling, where he wrestled as "The Rochester Roadblock".
