Hogan is calling Nash "Kevina" for some reason. Hogan repeatedly calls out Nash until he interrupts with Rick Steiner and Sid at his side. Hogan is ready to take Nash on and they go for it. The heels triple-team Hogan until Sting makes the save with the baseball bat. Memphis crowd is hot for these guys, but they really need new faces in the top mix. Still, Nash's role is being phased down and the booking has at least improved to the point that it's more consistent.

Yeah, this is pretty underwhelming build to a potential match that would have been red-hot 8, 10, or 18 months prior. We got a bizarre three-man heel tandem of Nash, Sid, and Rick Steiner. Clearly this "each of us pick a partner" challenge was a rather desperate and transparent attempt into getting people to think Scott Hall was coming back. Hogan is still in black and white but is otherwise back to his 1996 babyface self. Sting makes the save--in another world, coming down to the ceiling would have been a more effective visual, but, well...you know. Sting and Hogan stare at each other as Nash basically dares them to team up. Things are left ambiguous. I'm with Loss--this is not a great segment but it's 1984 Mid-South compared to some of the other angle and match set-ups we've seen on this show in 1999.
