IвЂ™m not sure he ever figured out what wrestling was. All heвЂ™s got going for him is his height and weight. Creosote version of Triple H (or one of the Gorgs from Fraggle Rock, take your pick) and heвЂ™s spectacularly bad at wrestling. IвЂ™m not sure how much more on the nose you can be. He carries a roadblock to the ring and his gear makes him look like a roadblock. If youвЂ™ve never seen Roadblock, heвЂ™s вЂ¦ literally a roadblock. WeвЂ™ve pretty much nihilistically destroyed this episode in the first quarter hour. The nWo sits in on commentary for the entire thing and Scott Hall does his best to bury everyone in sight, calling referee Scott Dickenson the вЂњtime to make the donuts guyвЂќ and calling Rick Steiner вЂњRobby,вЂќ his actual name.

Meng is just like, вЂњf*ck that Doomsday DDT, pick me up and put me down and letвЂ™s leave.вЂќ The match just sort of ends about five minutes in when Scott tags in and hits a belly-to-belly. So вЂ¦ theyвЂ™re wrestling for nothing?ДЄnyway, the Steiners and the Faces of Fear is always pretty good in that way certain matches are, where you can tell nobody involved talked about the match beforehand and decided to just hit each other in the face as hard as possible. You could say this is to make sure theyвЂ™re the official #1 contenders, but does it even matter now? WeвЂ™ve shown that the guy in charge of the company runs both WCW and the nWo, meaning he has to sanction all the title shots and can reverse them if he doesnвЂ™t like them. He just wasnвЂ™t counting on the Internet turning wrestling audiences heel at the same time.Д«est/Worst: The Faces Of Transitional FearДЄs mentioned, the Steiners now have to open the show in a match against the Faces of Fear. The more I watch these episodes, the more I see Bischoff doing everything possible to turn the nWo into the most hated organization in wrestling history. Nothing makes a hot title change matter less than dulling it down to corporate minutia! They even reference AndersonвЂ™s вЂњrough year,вЂќ aka his battle with testicular cancer, before firing him. Hall wants to beat the sh*t out of Pee-Wee, but Bischoff turns it into a вЂњpayolaвЂќ scandal, saying Anderson got those Souled Out tickets from someone at WCW as a gift and was thereby violating company policy. This weekвЂ™s Nitro STARTS with the nWo in the booth, and Bischoff calling out Randy Anderson so he can reverse the decision and publicly fire him.

If you were hoping someone from WCW would step in, validate the title change and take a stand against the nWo вЂ¦ brother, what show are you watching?

Eric Bischoff immediately insisted that the decision would be reversed, and spent the rest of the night openly complaining about it. In roughly three hours of nWo Souled Out, there was one pro-WCW moment: referee Randy Anderson jumping the rail in street clothes to count the three on Scott Hall and give the Steiner Brothers the WCW Tag Team Championship. The Steiner Brothers ( Rick and Scott) defeated The Outsiders ( Kevin Nash and Scott Hall) to win the WCW World Tag Team Championship.Worst: In Case You Enjoyed That One Feel-Good Moment From Souled Out.Scott Norton defeated Diamond Dallas Page by count-out (9:39).Buff Bagwell defeated Scotty Riggs (13:51).Big Bubba Rogers defeated Hugh Morrus (with Jimmy Hart) in a Mexican Death match (9:03).Masahiro Chono defeated Chris Jericho (11:08).(c) refers to the champion(s) heading into the match.
