Loss Posted July 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2013 The NWO supply this footage to prove that they aren't responsible for the Steiners car accident everyone is talking about. Hall, Nash and Syxx stalk the Steiners at a gas station, try to run them off the road, they end up distracted and the car flips! I always hated this angle, because that's criminal behavior and I think it's stretching things to say that the Steiners would want to just settle this in the ring.

Zenjo Posted August 6, 2013 Report Share Posted August 6, 2013 They'd probably just hired someone in Creative who was used to working in Hollywood and this was his most sensible suggestion. Ideas in wrestling need to have at least a loose connection to reality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soup23 Posted August 8, 2013 Report Share Posted August 8, 2013 This seemed like it wanted to again take a memphis trope and amp it up. I will say the editing job on the footage is well produced as we get a closeup of Ricks face right before the car flips. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stomperspc Posted August 20, 2013 Report Share Posted August 20, 2013 I agree that this probably went over the line from acceptable pro wrestling violence that can be solved in the ring to downright criminal activity. I did think Hall and Nash did a good job selling the seriousness of the situation when they saw the car flip over. Their tones immediately changed from flippant to serious as they scurried to drive away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajtroma Posted August 22, 2013 Report Share Posted August 22, 2013 Why they would deliberately give the tape of this to run on live tv is one that I never could wrap my head around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Ridge Posted August 26, 2013 Report Share Posted August 26, 2013 This feels incredibly dangerous with them doing these stunts while driving. Not the smartest idea for NWO to be taping themselves being involved in this incident. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El-P Posted May 17, 2014 Report Share Posted May 17, 2014 I thought it was really well done and produced. Found footage segment ! But yeah, it goes a little bit too far off wrestling for me too. "You drove us off the road and nearly killed us, we're going to beat you in a wrestling match." Ok, it was an accident, but it was still the Outsiders fault.

PeteF3 Posted July 19, 2015 Report Share Posted July 19, 2015 This is technically executed well but is just way too ridiculous as a wrestling angle. There were issues with the follow-up to the Gilbert-Lawler car angle but that was set up very organically and came off realistic. And AJ's question is a sound one, especially considering how quick they were to tell Syxx to shut the camera off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raul Posted August 13, 2016 Report Share Posted August 13, 2016 one of the funniest segments i've ever seen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KB8 Posted February 26, 2019 Report Share Posted February 26, 2019 This was obviously too daft, with too many plot holes even for pro-wrestling, to be anything more than dumb fun, but dumb fun it was. Production on it was clearly really well done too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
