dopper Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 You know on the old intro for all the WWE shows? Like the one before the current one? What event is JR describing when he shouts "My God what a night!" I've always wondered. Â This reminded me of one I've tried unsuccessfully to track down. Â J.R., in full hype mode, yelling "STONE COLD! ... IS THE TOUGHEST SON OF A BITCH!! ... I EVER SAW!!!" Â It must have been 1998/1999 because it's on the "Austin 3:16 Uncensored" video/dvd, but I can't find the actual footage of when he said that. Â Anyone remember that?

KingOfMetal Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 What is Rhino up to these days? I was watching Invasion yesterday and it got me thinking that I haven't heard anything about him for a ages  He was in ROH at some point in 2012, but I think he mainly just does the indies now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dai Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 Speaking of the nWo, who takes the credit for the actual naming of the group? Id assume it was either Nash, Hall or Bischoff, but I've never heard anyone take the credit for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Id assume it was either Nash, Hall or Bischoff, but I've never heard anyone take the credit for it. Â Bischoff's initial idea, basically a rip off of the New Japan vs. UWFi feud, but will have been a bunch of others contributing also, i.e. WCW Bookers at the time Terry Taylor and Kevin Sullivan (maybe Paul Orndorff too?)

Dai Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 I'm speaking of the actual name. Im just wondering if it was thought up by Bischoff at the same time as the angle, or whether someone else thought of it down the road Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members WWFChilli Posted January 15, 2014 Paid Members Share Posted January 15, 2014 (edited) What was the reason storyline wise for the Fingerpoke of Doom occurring. In fact just some general information about the whole thing would be grand. Edited January 15, 2014 by WWFChilli Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Power Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 (edited) From my limited knowledge of WCW at the time, the NWO split into two factions over Summer/Autumn 98 - NWO Hollywood led by Hogan and NWO Wolfpace led by Nash. The two groups feuded for a while and it all came to a head in January 1999 when the two head honchos faced off. Of course it was a set up all along as Nash laid down for Hogan after Big Terry had poked him in the chest with one finger. The two groups were reunited and there were collective groans heard around the world. Â EDIT: Hogan may or may not have disappeared for a while towards the end of 98 as his contract was up and he was running for Presidency. This might have been one of his first matches back. Ian is probably your best bet for answering this actually, so I don't even know why I've written this.

MungoChutney Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 What is Rhino up to these days? I was watching Invasion yesterday and it got me thinking that I haven't heard anything about him for a ages  He worked for ICW in Scotland last year at their main show Fear & Loathing. He was in a 3 way dance with Jimmy Havok and James Scott and looked in great shape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members ColinBollocks Posted January 15, 2014 Paid Members Share Posted January 15, 2014 (edited) Nash was supposed to face Goldberg that night. Sadly, Goldberg got nicked by the cops because he'd allegedly speared Miss Elizabeth without her consent. Â Later in the show Hogan returned for the first time since retiring a few weeks earlier. Nash told Hogan he could have Goldberg's title shot instead. Which led to the main event and the merging of the once warring Wolfpac and Hollywood factions. Â Goldberg did not rape Miss Elizabeth.

Paid Members WWFChilli Posted January 15, 2014 Paid Members Share Posted January 15, 2014 So why did the nWo reform after they split, why did Nash drop the belt he chased etc. Was an explanation ever given? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members JNLister Posted January 15, 2014 Paid Members Share Posted January 15, 2014 FWIW (ie not much) Hogan's book claims Bischoff was pitching the concept to him when discussing the potential turn and went off on a conspiracy theory/illuminati rant during which he repeated (the myth) that the latin wording on the dollar bill translates to "New World Order" and then they realised that would be a good name.

CTXRussomark Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 So why did the nWo reform after they split, why did Nash drop the belt he chased etc. Was an explanation ever given? Not any plausible one, no. It was all a "ha ha, we fooled you!" without any real thought to that actually making sense. It was well established in storylines that Nash formed the Wolfpac because he was sick of Hogan, which was long before Hogan dropped the belt to Goldberg. In fact I remember Nash trying to cost Hogan the belt on at least one occasion. So for Nash to go from that to laying down for Hogan really made no sense at all, and they weren't quick to offer up any sort of logical reason for it either.
