C. K. Punk: Another enjoyable WCW nitro. My thoughts:

  • Macho Man sitting in the ring was humorous to an extent, but lacked a realistic ending. Sting being able to shove him around with the bat and then both just walk way doesn’t make a lot of sense to me an was anticlimactic.
  • When Stevie Ray came out announcer made comment:” didn’t this guy just get beat up…oh this is the other one”. Funny moment, and he was obviously referring to the “other” tag team partner, in today’s politically correct culture, I doubt a comment like this would fly well.
  • Commentator made a reference to a “bogus Sting” when the nWo Sting came out. I am new to WCW and am not very familiar with this story line, but, it is apparent that there is the real Sting and a fake Sting. The commentators have been playing along as if they believed Sting really did join the nWo, or at least were not sure. This comment seems out of place, so I am wondering if commentator slipped up here?

C. K. Punk: I first got into wrestling back in 1997, watching primarily Monday Night Raw. I am surprised to see how “raw” (no pun intended) the production quality is on this compared to what I remember for the RAW is WAR format. I suspect that this will improve a lot when RAW goes to 2 hour format and especially the RAW is WAR theme. For right now, WCW has a large edge in production quality over WWF.

I must say that I am overall impressed at the production quality of WCW, especially when considering its WWF counterpart. There is a good balance of drama and matches, as well as match variety. This is literally the first time I watched more than a couple minutes of a WCW Nitro episode, let alone the full two hours. Some various thoughts here:

  • I find Rick Flair very annoying. His “woooooo” every few words is obnoxious.
  • Commentary was overall good, but it did get a bit silly towards the latter part with the bickering and the intentional long, convoluted statements.
  • Surprised to see Hulk/Hollywood hogan as heel. Also, does he paint his unshaven portion of his beard black?
