HBK gon always be my nikka, Razor/Scott too. I was torn tho, cuz I fukked with Bret and Undertaker. The first HIAC prolly my favorite match ever but it had me :sadcam: cuz LOD 'Taker my favorite wrestling gimmick of all time tied with Stone Cold but Shawn beat him on some fluke shyt. But DX HBK is Top 3 Wrestling characters in history, all that coke with the 5 O'Clock shadow made him a GOAT level dirtbag. The Kliq provided us with so many memorable TV moment. :wow:

Thing is HHH said they had no plan if Bischoff actually let them in. They would've been at the mercy of the WCW locker room

Bischoff should have let them in...who was winning at the time WCW right? I can see a losing wcw allowing them in but if your winning in the ratings you wouldn't want to give your fans a reason to tune in to the competition...although i'm pretty sure everyone who was a wrestling fan switched between and whoever won just happened to keep viewers for longer periods of time in between switches

Just weeks after the whole childish “Vince McMahon versus Eric Bischoff” program took place, WCW took their complaints a step further by filing an unfair business practices countersuit against the WWF, a suit almost identical to the one the WWF had filed against them in 1996 after Hall and Nash jumped ship.

The suit, like that of the WWF, was mostly frivolous, claiming that Vince and his crew had done mean things like saying all their wrestlers were old (and this was hilarious, because on several occasions when announcer Jim Ross made such claims, elderly men like Gerald Brisco, Pat Patterson, and Vince himself were involved in matches as he spoke). They did have one good point, however: that the WWF had falsely claimed on several occasions that WCW was giving away free tickets, when in reality the shows in question were legitimately sold out. When DX invaded the Scope, the WWF even went so far as to digitally insert a graphic on the marquee claiming that tickets to the show were still available (yes, they went to these absurd lengths for a corny skit).

“In the professional wrestling business,” the suit read, “the giving away of free tickets to an event on the day of the show is a response to a failure to sell out the venue, and it reflects badly on a promotion, suggesting that an insufficient number of fans were willing to pay to see the show.” Coincidentally, on Nitro that evening, Schiavone claimed the Raw show in Hampton was not sold out when, in fact, it was.

Bischoff ended up making Vince look like a chump by not showing up at Slamboree.
No one believed Vince was going to accept his challenge though especially on a WCW ppv :russ:

If I remember correctly, Vince did challenge him to a fight at any parking lot of Eric's choosing

Precursor to TSCMania :ohhh::youngsabo:

McMahon's only public response to Bischoff was in a public statement released on America On-Line in the middle of last week. Said McMahon: "I consider Bischoff's 'challenge' a cheap and desperate tactic to increase WCW pay-per-view buys. I will not do anything to help WCW increase their PPV buys. Therefore, I will not appear at Turner's next PPV as invited. However, if Mr. Bischoff is hell bent on fighting me, then such a fight can be arranged at any time, in any parking lot in the country, void of television cameras, photographers, and public announcement." Bischoff has yet to publicly respond to that specific statement by McMahon.
