[1997-07-14-WCW-Nitro] Lex Luger, Sting and the NWO

[Loss]

Talk about it here.

Luger is over huge coming off the Bash at the Beach win. He challenges Hogan to a title match at Road Wild. The NWO sans Hogan (but including Muto and Chono) surround the ring. It looks like they're about to take him out. What appears to be a fake Sting comes out, but it's the real deal! He stands next to Luger and is ready to fight off the NWO as the show goes off the air. Good stuff.

Luger is hyped up about his win in the tag match. NWO surrounds Luger in the ring. But fake Sting shows up but he's is wearing a mask and is the real Sting. Nice play off all the previous stuff.

I liked the visual that this Sting looked completely fake at first but turned out to be the real one. Luger gives a very good face promo challenging Hogan beforehand.

A fake fake Sting. Ok, they're gonna run out of ideas soon but this was a nice touch coming off the PPV. Luger is probably hotter than he's been since 1990.

I wasn't all that inspired by Lex's long entrance or promo, but a WCW guy closing Nitro out at least changes up the formula a bit. Sting disguising himself as a fake Sting is pretty darn clever.
