#Watch wrestling wcw nwo souled out 1997 full show tv
I will touch on this again when I get to Nitro, but the TV Title has certainly seen better days.As Lodi distracted the referee, Glacier’s former tag partner, Ernest Miller, entered the ring and nailed the Sub-Zero wannabe in the face with a brutal looking karate kick. Confusingly though, he lost to fellow heel Kidman. Glacier’s heel turn must be complete because he has reverted back to his natural hair colour.Lodi’s attempted interference failed but Riggs tripped Jericho to hand the advantage to Saturn. Saturn defeated Chris Jericho, with a little help from The Flock.Ted DiBiase felt Meng’s Tongan Death Grip after getting in Jimmy Hart’s face over his interference in the Steiner’s match with The Faces of Fear.Apparently this was enough bait to make people ring the premium rate number this week. Namely, The Four Horsemen and an old friend of his. Attention Hotline fans Mean Gene has made a list of things he wants to see return to WCW in 1998.Curt Hennig’s nWo team mate, Rick Rude, watched DDP’s win over Road Block from the aisle while smoking a cigar.Page also mentioned that he has only been wrestling for six years, which is kind of mind-boggling because he was 41 years old here. DDP said it would have been a genuine honour had he been offered the position, but interestingly stated that he would have graciously declined it. Speaking of “spots”, Page referenced Hennig taking, and abandoning, Arn Anderson’s ‘spot’ in the Four Horsemen. On the subject of this change to the card, DDP said that he is not taking Flair’s spot because they are friends – because they are not – instead he wants the match because he feels that Flair has been disrespected and wants the nWo, specifically Curt Hennig, to pay for trying to end The Nature Boy’s career.No word on if this will still be a cage match though. Diamond Dallas Page was also announced as Ric Flair’s replacement to challenge Curt Hennig for the US Title at the pay per view. The Steiner Brothers and Ray Traylor is now official for Starrcade next week. The most newsworthy part of this segment was nothing Bischoff said about ‘The Living Legend’, rather he promised the nWo’s fans a “holiday treat” on Nitro. The show did not end with this match, instead a generic Eric Bischoff promo on Larry Zbyszko ahead of their match at Starrcade next week ended things.This angle started three weeks ago when Luger defeated Bagwell by disqualification, so it is really 3-1. For storyline purposes Bagwell is now 3-0 against Luger in recent matches, but that depends how you define the term ‘recent’. His prophesy came true when the usually composed Lex lost his temper in the main event when first he refused to release Bagwell from a choke before throwing referee Nick Patrick across the ring when he tried to restrain the Total Package. Shortly after bragging about his recent victories over Lex Luger to Mean Gene (he won by disqualification and count out), Buff Bagwell announced himself to be “The Real Total Package” and claimed he would extend his record to 3-0 against Luger.This is as close as Hogan has come to appearing on WCW Saturday Night in years
