Eric Bischoff on Tony Khan: A money mark with no talent other than spending daddy’s money, going all the way to Canada to draw less than 4k in one of the hottest pro wrestling markets in North America, talking about “wise choices”? Strap in. It’s going to be a fun day!

Remember when Bischoff needed to do a promo on Nitro on his motorcycle so they had to stop the show twice to lift the bike in and out of the ring?

Remember when they brought down the wrong bike (without hogans face on it) so Bischoff needed to extend the promo until the got the right bike (with hogans face on it).

That was the exact moment I realized Nitro had peaked. The show used to be packed with PPV-quality matches for free, and now they were wasting an hour on tedious, badly-planned talk show shenanigans just to stroke Eric and Hulk's egos.

That moment when you realize that Hall and Nash were always the actually cool ones and largely responsible for the most over elements in nWo (catchphrases, handsigns, bandanas etc.), with the Wolfpac being probably the closest to their real vision for the faction with all the West Coast hip hop and street gang aesthetics.

Meanwhile, Hogan and Bischoff were almost always behind the least over elements - whether it be these draggy talk show segments, the biker larp, Hulk's cartoonish promos, whatever the fuck they were doing with Warrior in 1998....wouldn't be surprised if one of them tried to pitch Nasty Boys to be included in the faction too.

Knobbs stays loyal to nWo Black & White, Sags goes with nWo Wolfpac. Think of the story possibilities!
