Unfortunately, I wont be around tomm, thats why I posted today. April 4, 2000. Boy do I wish I could go back to then, but who doesn't lol. Anyways, I remember watching this my last semester in highschool, And it got me really excited again for WCW on top of all the obvious exciting things obviously going on for me at this time.
The New Blood angle. Where do we start? This had the potential to be really good. You had Vince Russo showing his mug on TV for the 1st time, and does a "shoot", by mentioning how the young guys have been held down. Then Bischoff returns, and shockingly, they join together. So starts the New Blood vs Millionares Club. Basically, almost the entire roster vs. Sting, Luger, Hogan, DDP, Flair, Sid etc.
This monday I remember because all the young stars took on the older guys. Like guys you would never expect to be huge stars went after the big stars. The big fued was Kidman vs Hogan. Yes, let me say that again. BILLY F'IN KIDMAN vs Hulk Hogan. People can say all they want about Hogan not putting people over, but this is one of those times he tried. Another fued was "Franchise" Shane Douglas vs Ric Flair, and Jarrett vs DDP. These all started out really good, but just fizzled out after a short time. All the titles were declared vacant, and the young and old guys were given there fair shots on the titles. This angle went on for a few months, with some insane moments like the return of Savage, Hart, and a heel Goldberg, which was a failure. However, this Angle made some big stars, like Scoot Stiener, Jarrett, and Booker T finally reaching WCW ME status and winning world titles. However, eventually the Angle just fizzled out.
I don't want to go into details, there was so much going on, it was crazy. This Nitro also had the debuts of Shawn Stasiak, attacking Henning, Lance Storm, and Mike Awesome, who was the current ECW Champion at the time attacking Nash, which was absolutely shocking. This show had so many twists and turns, it was complete Chaos.
I wanted to get your thoughts on this angle, and that Monday Night Nitro in general. It may have been one of the most exciting and crazy shows in a long time, i was constantly marking out and having holy shit moments, I loved it. As far as the NB vs MC, it was good for a short period of time, but I think the problem was that there was too many guys trying to take out the old guys, so some younger guys, Like the MIA jumped to the Millionaire side. There also weren't a ton of guys who were ready for that spotlight. Notice how most of the Millionares are still around today. Look at the New Blood, how many of them are relevant? I think it was too much too fast, coupled with the things i mentioned that led to the downfall of this angle.
Thoughts?
PS> If anybody hasn't seen this episode, I suggest you check it out youtube. Its crazy!
