wwf had interesting segments, and then you could switch over to nitro when it turned to shit (and vice versa). for example I never would have watched a triple h segment, but the rest of that is stuff I probably wouldn't have switched out of unless there was a rey mysterio match going on

I watched RAW because I thought there was a chance I might see tits. Otherwise I was Nitro all the way.

X-Pac was a huge get in 1998. The '98 Raw After Mania where an nWo member came out, joined DX, and shot on Hogan and Bischoff was HUGE. It facilitated the need for nWo Wolfpac when X-Pac rolled back the curtain to reveal that the nWo weren't actually friends and Hogan held down his own stable. It was what elevated DX from gay tag team to marketable stable (as well as making their goons the New Age Outlaws into full members instead of associates.)

X-Pac heat starts when people realize he stopped giving a shit about working a match that captivates a crowd and tried to get over by spamming those spin kick leg lariats he loves so dearly. He went from the reliable hand you could put with any new hotshot to show them how matches work in WWF (which was also an Owen Hart role) to the guy where it felt like someone was being punished by forcing them to have a fake ass karate match that would feature a grease ball slamming his crotch into your face.

The new logo stage with the stars and void backdrop era was shit. Vince Russo being the unseen new writer was shit. Vince Russo being an on air authority figure was shit. 3 Count vs Jung Dragons in lieu of an actual cruiserweight division with the best juniors in the world was shit. It went from the show I looked forward to (I was also a huge Hogan mark and could shut down most smarks with 'Do you really think Chris Benoit could outdraw Hulk Hogan?') to the show that made me wonder aloud why they threw away their competitive advantage to be an imitation of a grotesque parody of pro wrestling. Losing the Radicalz also hurt, NGL. It really made Shane Douglas look like a bitch when his entire stable ditched him.
