Haha I was 12. Still remember it though mainly because I remember going to the Nitro show (12/21/98) before the Starrcade PPV (12/27/98).

FULL MATCH:

Perfect example of why Nash should never have been given creative control, which of course leads to the fingerpoke of doom.

I hate Nash so much. Him and Hall are two of the most overrated wrestlers of all time.

Punk at least knew how to wrestle though.

Yeah. I think hall and nash fit the NWO invasion perfectly. Big ass dudes, some mic skills, and decent power moves. But without the NWO they would have been career mid carders.

It is because of the Amazingness of the NWO that they are considered greatness.

Career mid carders? They were already a top drop in the WWE before coming to WCW. Razor was arguably their best heel and Diesel was becoming one of their top faces. There's a reason why they had the 2nd biggest contracts behind Sting and Hogan...

As far as their wrestling ability goes, very few guys back then who were top draws could wrestle, because the top draws were usually some huge looking mofo. There were few Bret Hart's during the 80s and 90s. Hall and Nash were big guys with charisma and promo abilities and that was rare for big guys back then. Today, WWE would kill to have a character and promo guy like Hall or even Nash.

They were not top draws. They were top tier mid carders, that were possibly moving to top draws.

Nash was a bodyguard, then tag team. With a "short"(any championship reign is significant) reign at the top. Then became a mid card-top card tweener.

Hall was a mid carder. That had some great matches.

And that they couldnt wrestle very well was a limiting factor to them. Like andre, nash could at least sell no one can cut him down. And wcw did not f**k up there powerhouse characters by having them lose clean to small non faces.

Keep in mind, i am not trying to sell them short. They are the ones that put WCW over. Their mic skills, physique, and wrestling made the NWO. And then hogan joining exploded everything.

You have 3 charismatic, physical bad asses that cheat. the perfect heels.


The whole story was perfectly executed, then they jumped the shark.

Here's a look at the future:

I just read that Nash blew out another quad reading your post.
