I enjoyed Nitro more than RAW tonight. And I *loved* Scott's debut. You
could tell which audience members watch both organizations. One girl
yelled out, "Hey, Chico!" The rest were just clueless. I was ROTFL. I
don't buy that Bischoff didn't know Scott was going to do, but only time
will tell. Hats off to EB tonight. I can't wait to see what happens next.

With this build up, can they be doing anything else than setting Hall and
Nash up for a fall? Why else would they do it?

Just saw Scott Hall on Nitro-gotta admit I
like it-but what's not to like about a heel
character who dislikes and makes fun of WCW
and Bitchoff? The only problem is that I'll
have to waste two hours of tape in order to
fast forward thru the other crap to see my
guy.

Later,

I just finished watching Nitro and for once I liked it. I just have
one nagging thought in my head, what's with Razor? At the end he kept
badmouthing WCW and challenged Bischoff to find his three best
wrestlers. Now, I keep having this feeling that Bischoff will have
this entire angle where some WWFer's battle WCW stars. In the end, WCW
will win and Bischoff will gloat. Someone please tell me I'm wrong.
Please tell me I'm putting too much thought into what happened tonight.

I agree, the angle is really great. Just think of the marks: "Cool, Razor is taking it to the

WCW!!" (thank goodness my mark co-worker is on vacation this week so I don't have
to deal with it.) Actually, even though I like to wear a "I HATE WCW" button, I think
this story is a good, creative, and daring one. Who would have thought they would
make Hall's personna a bad guy (so to speak) from the WWF! I begrudgingly have to
admit it works well. I hope they can keep it up. I, too will watch Nitro just to see Hall.

the Razor Ramon slamming the WCW angle is the best and most original bit
I've ever seen on WCW. wow- this is from the folks that brought you so many
stupid moments in the last few months (remember the Yeti......)

In <4odni8$4...@dfw-ixnews10.ix.netcom.com> mac...@ix.netcom.com(Mark

They are just trying to work the Razor, Diesel, DDP angle.......I was
at Nitro live today it was good. Razor came out before the show and
badmouthed WCW and said the Clique was sick of WCW and were taking
over. He said the boys from NY were coming.

My only question regarding this is who thought of this angle? Do we
have to give credit to Bischoff? I mean, this is the guy who's been
pushing the Dungeon of Dumb for the past eleven months and is now
bringing us Kevin Greene and McMichael vs. Flair and Anderson.. I'm
sure it wasn't the "Bookerman". Is it possible that this idea came
from Billionaire Ted himself?

Frankly, I thought it was longwinded, and handled in arguably the most
hamhanded manner possible. If Eric Bischoff REALLY wants this angle
to succeed, HE has to start selling on it, instead of trying to look
like he's ready to roll up his sleeves and mop up the floor with Scott
Hall himself.

And someone really ought to remind him that brevity is the soul of
wit.

Because they want to make money. Not just for the next PPV, or for
the next year. These guys have long term, big $$$ contracts, and will
be counted on to help WCW turn a profit into the next century. I
wouldn't be surprised to see the "WWF (Hall, Nash, Bigelow?) vs. WCW
(Hogan, Savage, whoever) feud leaving a trail of violent
disqualifications across the Southern US until the Savage/Hogan match
at Haloween Havoc (is Savage a WWF 'enemy' synpatheizer?).
