WCW: Monday Nitro (10.26.98)

WCW: Monday Nitro
October 26, 1998
Phoenix, AZ
America West Arena

The current WCW champs are as follows:
WCW World Champion: Bill Goldberg (7/6/1998)
WCW U.S. Champion: Bret Hart (8/13/1998)
WCW World Tag Team Champions: Rick Steiner & ??? (10/25/1998)
WCW World Television Champion: Chris Jericho (8/10/1998)
WCW Cruiserweight Champion: Billy Kidman (9/14/1998)

We start the program with EXCITING still shots of last night’s Halloween Havoc. What match were the still shots from, you ask? Hogan versus Warrior – only the BIGGEST rematch in the HISTORY of pro grappling? Nope, think again. Goldberg versus DDP? Good guess, but still wrong. It’s Sting versus Bret Hart. Looks like Bret murdered Sting last night with his own ball bat, which seems pretty important, but a weird way to start the show.

HOUR NUMBER ONE! Your hosts are Tony Schiavone, Mike Tenay, and Larry Zbyszko. Read the rest of this entry →

WWF: Raw is War
October 26, 1998
Madison, WI
Kohl Center

We start the show with all the setup and payoff to the BANG 3:16 moment from last week’s RAW – including the important letter Austin put into Vince’s coat pocket. They repeat JR asking what’s in the letter several times for added effect.

Earlier tonight, Steve Austin showed up to the arena with a big smile on his face.

Milwaukee, WI
Bradley Center

IT’S GETTING HOT IN HERRE! Your hosts are Michael Cole and Jim Cornette. This is Cole’s debut on HeAT as a commentator. They gave Shane-O-Mac twelve weeks and wished him the best in his future endeavors. Cole explains Shane has the “night off”, but I don’t think he ever returns as a regular commentator – only on occasion. Read the rest of this entry →

Does anybody really care if Ric Flair knows one of the owners of the United Center in Chicago? Is that *really* that interesting to the casual viewer?
