This match was the best match of the night.īret Hart countered virtually everything and never let Ric have any offense unless Ric cheated.
Hopefully they built up to the PPV with promos, but instead WCW made it seem like the Internet fans built this one up wondering… who’s the best wrestler. This match seemed to have no build to it… just thrown out there cold. Also Bobby Heenan wasn’t convincing me of the sevarity of things… Having no music to go out on would have been nice. The powerbomb was just a botched spot and doesn’t involve the finish… therefore they didn’t care.
They also have officials rush out to help the Giant… but not from the powerbomb. It was interesting hearing the commentators say Paul Wight is 500 lbs yet he’s much slimmer in WCW than WWE. Legend has it that Nash was told to work out in the gym to powerbomb the Giant, but he said he’d powerbomb him anyway. The card really just flew by in a haze of meh… Hogan and Bischoff were out there for Nash. – This is the infamous match where Nash dumped the Giant on his head. There’s nothing spectacular about this match other than it happened 2 hours into the card. Its interesting though how WCW slow built the Scott, Buff & Rick love triangle over a 6+ month period. If he doesn’t trust his brother HIS OWN BROOOOTHERRRR!!!! why not just tag him in and let him get beat up? This was… uh not good. The story of this match was that Rick Stiener didn’t trust his own brother Scott… So he wasn’t letting Scott in the ring. NWO BUFF BAGWELL & SCOTT NORTON & KONNAN vs STIENER BROTHERS & BIG RAY TRAILER The tag team champs weren’t defending their belts on this card… Larry’s moves were also outdated and just didn’t look right. You’d think he was the biggest heel and he was the face in all of this! There was a lot of stuff toward the end that made no sense, which seems to be on par. They worked the best match they could, but wow was the crowd against Larry. – Wow another match… There was a notable swerve in this match. The work was memorably bad like when the Quebec Crab was put on Booker… Booker ‘s body and legs were straight out…. This was a dull and awkward match that I had no interest in, nor did they make me want to watch. Why did Scott Hall get a title shot months earlier at World War 3 and have to wait 3 – 4 months before getting a title shot. Why do 2 men need to announce a match for 2 men to have a shot at a 3rd man at the next PPV? Why did 2997 Starcade end with the belt being held up after Sting & Hogan. JJ DILLON & RODDY PIPER make an announcement with SCOTT HALL, STING & HULK HOGAN Jericho worked the injured leg of Rey and Rey… jumped and springboarded and did everything he normally does. – This was a good match, not the greatest. I hate to say it, but this was like watching 2 corpses wrestle.Ĭruiserweight Champion CHRIS JERICHO vs REY MYSTERIO JR What’s bad is there were 2 standing 10 counts in a row. If anything Raven was the star with Benoit just selling. They kick off this match by banning the flock from ringside. Sure there were botched spots, but this was the best opening 8 man that there could ever be!
It was Lex Luger vs Randy Savage.ĬHAVO JR, JUVENTUD GUERRERA, SUPER CALO, LIZMARK JR vs LA PARKA, PSYCHOSIS, EL DANDY, SILVERKING Just hearing the title of the PPV… WCW, NWO and SNICKERS present… Souled Out! Without the title on the line… I thought that Ric Flair vs Bret Hart was the main event… because that’s what they talked about all night. This PPV was when the NWO was still one single faction and it was 1/4th of the company of wrestlers. This show took place right after the Sting vs Hogan match at Starcade 1997 that had a shit finish where the championship was held over… for 2 months… 2 dubmass months. 1998 was a time where I was all gothed up and going to college. Hopefully I won’t give anything away with my review of this card.
