That sucks to lose Scott Steiner for over a year. I guess the bright side is that we may get to see what Rick Steiner can do to break out on his own (or maybe him & RVD become the hot new babyface tag team). I'm sure you'll find something interesting to do with them. As for the Tag titles, I wouldn't be too afraid to put the belts on the Outsiders. If they do pull out all the stops in refusing to drop them down the road, you can always do a one-night substitution so some fill-in can eat the pin. Ouch on that Piper/Hogan match and angle. Looks like those two are the old guys that need to get put out to pasture. Nice to see Randy Savage bringing the goods, though. That match with Jericho would have made for a great main event. Personally, I love the music video angle you did to just get people on the card who weren't otherwise appearing. Nothing wrong with giving folks the night off (sort of), to give the show room to breathe. When you're trying to advance every single storyline on every single show, it can get cluttered, and things can blend together. Rotating guys through keeps things fresh. I thoroughly enjoyed this episode. Unlike real-life WCW in 1998, I'd actually tune in on a Monday night to watch THIS Nitro.

Wow, that final paragraph is certainly a compliment. Thanks. To be honest, Rick wasn't someone I was looking to put, but I'm not shutting him out completely either.

Oh no! No Scott Steiner for over a year!? Ouch! And a high risk of further damage if surgery is done? Talk about insult to injury! Good to see a decent rating for a Bret Hart promo. Ok, hes not exactly known for his mic skills, but any kind of promo he's asked to do, recorded, with the right road agent; i always thought he was decent and be able to make the point that needs to be made. Good to see! I wonder if Jericho if ever fought savage on Nitro in 98? I could imagine the two could put on a hell of match, just like they've done here! Hogan and Piper deserved better, dont know what went on there. Are the two involved in a storyline? Again, a better show than what the score would suggest!

Hogan & Piper not involved in a storyline, they are both aging which may have had an impact. The Steiner thing is cruel. I was stunned. Savage and Jericho would have been fire!

Oh yeah that one on Scott Steiner is nasty. Shinya Hashimoto got it on my save, he retired and now does colour for New japan Also, 66 for an angle between hogan and piper??? Have you set those guys on entertainment? Because that's very weird to have these ratings for those angles, normally it would be 90+
