Another video package that hardly excites me for the match. Hey look, it's Tank Abbott. Sting seems to try but this feud is a losing proposition. Chris Jericho is at the WCW.com booth this late! Wow. They brawl into the back, where Tank Abbott chokes Sting out and a group of actual rabid dogs are turned loose on Sting. Security runs in to help and the camera cuts away. If you're going to do this angle (even though I think it's stupid), you can't just leave people hanging like this. Then the Steiners hit the ring and bully the ref. They're upset because the match was stopped and this was supposed to be a Falls Count Anywhere match. Scott claims that Rick did pin Sting, even though they didn't show it, and demands Mickey Jay raise his hand. The Steiners as out of control heels would have been better a few years earlier when they were already sort of irrelevant. I like the idea of using something like this to build up a new team, but it wasn't to be. WCW had no clue.

You don't like me, Bite Me. Man did I fucking hate Rick here. Clips of the match and Sting suplexes Rick on the ramp. I too couldn't believe Jericho was still hanging out as I can only imagine that broadcast. The dog stuff has sucessfully suceeded the Nash/Savage shit as the worst thing we have seen this year and that says something. Just a completely dreadful stuff with Dillenger running with security as they cut to the crowd taking a big shit on this. Steiners promo isn't as bad but this was SO AWFUL.

Hahahahahahahahaha. Oh my God. That's--that's...HAHAHAHAHAHA. Six days after the funniest angle of the year, WCW tops themselves. Tony gamely attempting to put this over as the most heinous act he's ever seen just adds to it. The shot of Doug Dillenger and his track meet security team...I'm literally almost falling out of my chair here. I've heard of both of these angles but never seen them. They're more hilarious than I ever could have imagined. On a less happy note, this is now the birth of Rick Steiner being possibly my least favorite worker of all-time, certainly the worst of this time.
