Editors’ Comments / Rating
Compared to:Â https://www.ckpunk.com/wwf-raw-january-27-1997/
C. K. Punk: Another awesome episode of Nitro. Superior production to the WWF Raw episode. Good mix of story/drama along with matches. Story line is multidimensional and more going on than what RAW has,
Thoughts:
- Eric Bischoff was playing a jerk boss this episode, and seems pretty reminiscent of how Vince McMahon will end up being on Raw. Very similar angle.
- More example how the 90’s were awesome and we were fine with being politically correct. Commentators comment: “That’s why you should keep them in the kitchen”, if reference to Debra Marshall.
- Rick flair I still find to be super annoying.
- WCW has a lot of championship matches, especially when compare to RAW. Also, WCW has some pretty short matches. I suppose this makes it a bit more realistic.
