Rodman and Hogan don’t, though, and they do this weird thing where they press the wolves’ foreheads together and kinda interlock their ears. You know, that loving gesture where New World Order types (or their Kliq ancestors) make wolf hands and make them kiss another dude’s wolf hands on the mouth. They announce that Rodman will join the nWo later in the show, and celebrate with a Too Sweet. Worst: Hollywood Hogan Is A Dork Who Doesn’t Know How To Too Sweet Presumably this is to top Ric Flair getting a cuckolded football retiree and Big Bob Probert to join the Four Horsemen. Here, it’s used as a vehicle to preemptively announce that Dennis Rodman (and sadly not Van Damme, or Mickey Rourke) has joined the New World Order.

Yes, that’s the poster for Double Team, the seminal 1997 Tsui Hark classic in which Bloodsport star Jean-Claude Van Damme and NBA star Dennis Rodman team up to kill Mickey Rourke with a combination tiger/land mine attack in a Roman coliseum and save themselves with a Coke machine. To show you how ridiculous these Nitros are, this is the opening shot: Bonus points if it unlocks a Scott Hall palette swap that vomits all over itself.

I love these dumb things, and Spring Break Nitro is my dream arena for wrestling video games.

Welcome to the first-ever Spring Break edition of WCW Monday Nitro, coming to you live 19 years ago from Club La Vela, a Panama City drink-and-fuckery advertised as, “the largest nightclub in the USA and Spring Break headquarters of the world.” Once a year it transforms into a wrestling ring surrounded by a bunch of pools and hosts 2-3 hours of televised pro graps centered around (1) wrestlers in Hawaiian shirts, (2) everybody slumming it because they’re either already drunk or about to be, and (3) somebody getting thrown into the pool. These things keep getting more and more traction, and I want them to be the most popular wrestling column on the Internet by the time we get to Jim Duggan as a Benedict Arnold janitor who becomes champion by fishing title belts out of the garbage.Īnd now, the vintage Best and Worst of WCW Monday Nitro for March 10, 1997.

He found a boxer, a kickboxer and John Tenta. Previously on the Best and Worst of WCW Monday Nitro: Rowdy Roddy Piper orchestrated a series of increasingly naked, increasingly embarrassing street fights to see which three of six create-a-wrestler templates would be on his team against the nWo at Uncensored.
