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!

Savage jumping on the limo was NUTS! My son and I were ecstatic when we saw that live!
Bischoff probably doesn't know why but I remember TNT switching to TCM in The Netherlands and us losing Nitro that way, I can still find nowhere why this was done. Not sure if it was all over Europe but at least for The Netherlands it was a blow for WCW.
This show has inspired me to start watching Nitro from the moment Hall returned. One thing I immediately notice is how everyone takes everything serious. It's serious competition, talking about how they could do ring tactics and moves better etc. Everything is really presented as serious competition. From the matches to the commentators on down, plus while things are polished they are not over polished so that it comes of as fake or acting, it feels more raw to pardon the pun.
Great but i'm spoiled on those 2hr plus episodes
Very boring show this week
so put nitro online live or radio live
There is no way the Disney brand would want anything to do with WCW after this night. WCW might not have needed them, but the Disney brand being what it is wouldn't want WCW anymore either.
Don't listen to Bischoff. Revers searing is the stupidest thing I've ever heard. The purpose of searing is to make sure the juices stay inside the meat. You sear the outside to make a crust so the juices won't come out, that is the entire purpose of searing. Doing after it's already cooked, and juices have already escaped, is pointless and you end up with a charred dry piece of meat. Unlike Bischoff, I made a living cooking steaks for years when I was younger. He is absolutely clueless about how to grill meat. I will say if you are cooking something in the wild game category and it's properly marinated this method could work fine, but do not cook your steaks this way. It's criminal to do this to beef.
I appreciate the production talk
A classic nitro that I will never forget
