Match # 106: Scott Hall/Giant vs. Sting/Kevin Nash (Nitro 7/20/98) This match exemplifies the reasons I began to hate WCW in 1998. I’m not even talking about the match itself, but simply the contextual set up. Nash and Sting come out. They’re the WCW tag champs. Champs despite the fact Sting was the resistance to [...]

Match # 68: The Giant vs. Curt Hennig (Nitro 9/29/97) Bischoff is on commentary and by this point he’s pretty bad. He was better as an in-ring promo with Hogan. The smarminess just sits there and he has little to say. This is not the Hennig I grew up with, this is “collect-a-check” Curt, but [...]

Match # 36: Scott Steiner vs. The Giant (Nitro 6/17/96) Steiner is taped up at the ribs from a Harlem Heat attack, so that should factor in. The Giant was pretty bad ass in 1996, and he was the champ at this point too. The Giant is the WCW Champ too. If Steiner is motivated [...]

Match # 25: Sting/Lex Luger vs. Ric Flair/The Giant (Nitro 4/15/96) I have no idea why Flair and the Giant made friends after their match (Match # 23). I guess there just that much of bad guys. Sting and Luger are always friends no matter what. I’m not expecting to much out of this, aging [...]

Match # 23: Ric Flair vs. The Giant (Nitro 3/25/96) Elizabeth throws Savage’s money to the crowd as they come down the aisle. She’s won a lot in the settlement apparently. You would too if the stories about her treatment are true.
