Good afternoon, Freebird Enterprises, could you hold please?

Bischoff in the Bill Mercer put-upon announcer role is pretty funny. He meets up with an almost-unrecognizable, but even better-looking, Precious.

 

I'm not ashamed to admit that I actually liked this. It was over as soon as it began, but Precious reinvented as a no-nonsense businesswoman trying desperately to keep the Freebirds in line and on focus was a gimmick that had potential. For the first time in awhile, Hayes and Garvin actually come across as being in on their own joke.

 

Now, the question of whether they're supposed to be babyfaces or heels remains. They're sort of chummy with Bischoff and have words for Valentine and Taylor, but Hayes is a heel again under Watts, so...who knows.

Precious as the "keeper" of the Birds was nice to see. The rest of this was a cheesier ripoff of the already cheesy Hart Foundation skit with Mean Gene, as stated earlier. It says something about what a joke the Birds were considered by this time that Precious' return at WrestleWar didn't make the set and this stuff did.

 

How far down had the U.S. tag titles slipped by now? No wonder Watts killed them off as soon as he got there. The idea of these particular Birds chasing the DA for the World belts is far-fetched to say the least. Hell, Michael's so dumb these days that he has to be reminded to sign contracts in pen! (Seriously, the money must have been really good in order for Michael to willingly make himself look that stupid.)

I loved seeing Bischoff treated like this too.  We all have our petty moments.  Precious was the best part of this segment by far.

It seems like WCW has lost all direction and is just throwing stuff at the wall and hoping it works.  And then quickly reversing itself in puzzling ways when it doesn't.
