>>17636845>but it was still fun to watch up until StarrcadeIt peaks at Bash at the Beach 97 with Luger/Giant vs Rodman/Hogan --> Luger winning the title on the hundredth Nitro.
On paper it makes sense to do a quick title swap between Luger and Hogan while you're biding time for Sting at Starrcade.
But the finish of the match at Road Wild SUCKED. They would just use someone who looked nothing like Sting to interfere, commentary would have to sell it as "is that Sting?!" and then 2 minutes, "Sting" would take the mask off and reveal himself to be Kevin Nash.
Road Wild, Halloween Havoc ("Age in the Cage") and World War 3 all used the same bullshit finishes. By the time Starrcade rolled out around, it was so obviously time for Sting to end it once and for all ... an THEN THEY FUCKED IT UP!
Also, Fall Brawl 97 was bullshit. Hennig added nothing to the NWO, the fans really wanted him to take over for Arn. The 4H/WCW could have used the win and it wouldn't have hurt anything.
