The revisionism regarding the nWo is funny. That angle had a shelf life of a few months at best if they didn't have Sting as the protagonist. People really pretending that the nWo were interesting enough to carry an 18 month angle with any marginal "star". Like you could have switched out Sting for facking Sid or Giant or whoever and it been just as hot
nWo segments that didn't involve or reference Sting were 90% trash. Those long boring Hogan promos

That's really what people were excited about in WCW in 97
Like, people are REALLY in here claiming that you could have an 18 month nWo vs Sid feud and dominate the wrestling world with that.

My days.
