Pre-Show Stalwart
I just watched this PPV again, and holy fuck, were Hogan and Bischoff two pieces of dog shit. I never realized it as much back then as I was so young and it was exciting. But watching it again made me go Wow lol these guys just don't give a fuck about anybody else but themselves.
For instance, US title finals. Eddie vs DDP. The storyline going in was DDP refusing to join the nWo. Even had Hall and Nash help DDP advance to the finals. Fine, it was a good storyline. But then end of the match came. Instead of letting these two have a great match, and further the storyline on Nitro, you have Hall cost DDP the match and Eddie wins. Then Hall, Nash and Syxx proceed to beat up Eddie, where Xpac would challenge for the US title in the future. Plenty of ways to execute that storyline. No reason to kill Eddie's biggest title win at the moment.
Then came the HUGE main event. Piper vs Hogan. Hyped since Halloween Havoc. Title wasn't on the line. Want to know why I despise Hogan and Bischoff sometimes? This shit. Why would your so called biggest match of the industry not be a title a shot? Would WM end with a non title match? Oh yeah WM 8, Hogan and Sid..... Which bombed...hrmmm.
So Piper wins, after a a run in by Show, which led to Piper slapping the sleeper on. So the PPV ends with Piper celebrating in the ring right? Of course not.
Hogan stays in the ring, asks for his belt and the nWo music hit. Hogan then proceeds to stand in the middle of the ring and pose for a couple minutes. He just lost, and the PPV just ends with Hogan posing in the ring. If you turned on the tv at the last minute of the PPV you would NEVER know Piper actually won the match. So instead of letting Piper have his moment, Hogan has to celebrate a loss? Unbelievable. I don't think in my lifetime have I seen the loser be the LAST guy on a major PPV and celebrate his loss.
So the question is, Was The Monday Night Wars REALLY, that good, or was I just young, and would buy anything.
Hrmmm
