Synchtube is dead, so it is the return of WCW Nitro Gameday threads! To get you up to speed, here is Dave Meltzer's recap of last week: quote:Results from Monday Nitro on 1/8 in North Charleston, SC (about 5,000 in the building; 2,300 paid; $28,000) saw Chris Benoit pin Alex Wright in 6:40 with a dragon suplex in a very good match hurt by the announcers who literally still can't call a match (***1/2). Brian Pillman was at ringside and from the commentary by Eric Bischoff, it sounds like he isn't long for WCW. They kept talking about problems with the Horseman. They cut off the camera mic when Pillman was at ringside and after it was over and Pillman spat on Wright, Bischoff said, "Don't be surprised if you don't see Brian Pillman in WCW a lot longer." The irony on Pillman is that the more out of control he gets, the better he is as a heel and he's probably the best heel in the business right now but everyone is afraid of him because they think he's out of control. Benoit was cheered in this match. Eddie Guerrero pinned Steve Regal with a backslide in 8:08. No heat at all. There was some good wrestling and some missed spots but the storyline they were trying to get over (Guerrero as the underdog pulling a major upset) didn't work either live or on television because 98% of the viewers had to figure going in Guerrero was going to win. Big disappointment (**1/4). Sting & Lex Luger did an interview with Luger acting as a heel and everyone booing him but Sting not figuring it out. Luger asked Sting to form a tag team with him starting at the Clash and Sting agreed. This would have made more sense if they hadn't already announced the match on television two days earlier, but what can be said at this point? Sting beat Dallas Page with the scorpion in 6:20. Not good. Crowd still dead (*1/4). Main had Hogan & Savage over Flair & Anderson in 14:28 when Hogan legdropped Anderson. This was just terrible. The crowd appeared mixed on television but talking to those live said it was decidedly pro-Flair and what sounded like a reaction for Hogan was actually cheers for Flair (hey, that's what I was told from those who were there live). People left the arena really mad because Flair does the exact same spots with Hogan every time out and when you see it three out of four weeks, overexposure doesn't even begin to describe it. It wouldn't be so bad if the crowd was getting off on it, which they don't, or if the wrestling was stiff so there's believability, which it's anything but. It just gets sloppier, slower and more transparent by the week. Before the show, they did a test of crowd reaction because they were going to have Hogan & Savage do an interview to air during "Thunder in Paradise" but the crowd booed the mention of Hogan & Savage's name so much they decided against it. Hogan sold even less this week including popping up immediately from Arn Anderson's spinebuster, this time without even taking a two count before making the comeback. They really need to hide these guys because they're exposing their weaknesses to everyone, particularly Hogan and Savage, whose performances both gave the WWF skits portraying them as has-beens an awful lot of credibility. Pillman & Benoit tried to do a run-in but were stopped by Kevin Sullivan & Zodiac. The Giant then attacked Hogan and Savage and choke slammed them both, but then Zodiac stopped Giant (Hogan wants him back as a babyface with a push with the argument that Eric got his friend Page into a good spot so why can't he get his best friend into a good spot, forgetting that Page may have been given a chance against a lot of people's wishes, but he delivered whereas Zodiac has been given a zillion shots and failed to deliver). (*). So what's on tap for this week? More Hogan bullshit! Ric Flair! Sting! THE PUBLIC ENEMY! It's all LIVE TONIGHT AT 8 PM EASTERN DAYLIGHT TIME! BE THERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xs...-01-15-96_music There's the link, play the video in your browser at 8 PM and post along with all your PSP pals.

Couldn't we do this over Gooble+? Or is that risking exposing ourselves to other goons?
