[Ill Lou Malnati]

Memories: that first Nitro, Sabu debuting, the early nWo days when they were actually cool & dangerous and messing people up every week, that summer run at Disney World, Luger winning the belt, Goldberg beating Hogan, Jericho/Rey/Eddie/Malenko running the cruiserweight division...

When Sting's Army came down to save DDP and Piper was dope, it really was a fukkery moment, Sting was on top of the world in 97' he was like a superhero

Those 97 Sting appearances were absolutely crazy...Goldberg vs Hogan in ATL was legit too even though they through some trash in the ring too.....the Nash "My Spot" promo about Henning and the 4 Horsemen was comedy personified....Rick Rude appearing after Survivor Series 97 was excellent(He murdered Michaels for the hell of it)..Steiner shooting on DDP and Flair. Didn't get any better than that. He got on Kimberly's ass in a REAL way

 

[Hoss]

Goldberg knocking himself the fukk out when he speared Bret with the steel plate under his hockey jersey in Toronto.

Now that was Excellently Executed.
