If more shows like tonight happen by both feds you're going to see ratings go
down in a hurry for both shows.
Nitro what worked: The four way tag match. As great as it was it was WAY TOO
LONG. Instead of going 20:00 it should've gone 14:00 and it would've made for a
mauch better match, probably in the ****1/2 star range. For the last 7 seven
minutes the crowd died and the pace really slowed. There was no pop for the
big moves at the end and no pop at all for Psycosis winning the belt. I gave it
*** 3/4. Everything else was mediocre to bad.
Nitro what didn't work: Roddy Piper enough said. This guy just sucks. He can't
get big ratings anymore, he's not over, not funny and what's worse.....we have
to watch him wrestle on another PPV. Ugh. There goes the streak of good WCW
PPV's.
Raw what worked: The destruction of the Ministry. The backup plan (Shane) is
already over and a better idea. Shane has taken over the Corporation better
than he has any right to given his lack of experience. He has more charisma in
his pinky than David Flair.
Raw what didn't work: The Ministry. Thank God it's over. Everything else was
mediocre to bad.
When both shows are bad like tonight it hurts WCW more because they're playing
catchup. This is magnified even more with only two more Nitro's before the NBA
playoffs.
