83 Weeks #14: Monday Nitro from 7-29-96


Hulk Hogan is officially a bad guy and WCW is now in the driver’s seats for Monday night ratings. The angle they did on this show created real-life chaos and was masterfully done. Of course Hog Wild was the next PPV but they were really building towards Clash of the Champions with Hogan vs. Flair and what many believed to be Horsemen vs. nWo at War Games in September. This week Eric explains the difficulties of shooting outdoors, why it was done here at Disney, what restrictions they had on WCW, why Turner couldn’t care less during this month, and specifically what challenges were presented with doing production for WCW shows. And of course, everyone has to give “props” to the “Macho Man” for committing to a scene the way no one ever has before on this show!

  1. Macho Man jumping on that limo was PRICELESS. My Mom was not a big wrestling fan but when she heard Macho jumped on top of the limo,she was like "WHAT THE HELL?!!"

  2. bischoff explaining the bbq story at the start but can't focus on it listening to hacksaw's great theme song lol

  3. It cuts off before the Blue Chew add even ended.. ironically right after Eric says "it's all about timing"
