Ideally he would do what he did to Kidman and "lose" a match that made Sting look like poo poo, followed by a couple of PPV matches where he beat him clean despite having the odds rigged against him.

Kirios posted:Can someone point to me the right time the nWo should have broken up? I listed about 3 points where the Hogan nWo group should've broken up on the last page. Gonna kinda exclude the Wolfpack from it, because they were at least babyfaces and had good music. Sting beating Hogan at Starrcade and the nWo disbanding after a rematch would have been great. At the very least it should have disbanded after Goldberg destroyed them in the Georgia Dome and won the title. Perfect moment to signify you're now moving into the Goldberg era and away from Hogan. Then the night after Starrcade, it really really should have ended. Flair challenges Bischoff for control of the company. Despite the best efforts of all the heels, WCW and the babyfaces succeed and Flair wins control. All 3 moments should have ended with WCW finally winning and the nWo just going away. Instead we got... Instead Sting wins, but because the ending was hosed up, he gives Hogan a rematch, which ends up in another gently caress finish and a cheap promotional ploy to watch the then-debuting Thunder. No resolution until Superbrawl in February, for an angle that should have ended at Starrcade in December Goldberg winning would have been an obvious demarcation but gotta keep Hogan strong. Finally breaking the nWo stranglehold on power? Let's follow that up by the fingerpoke of doom, and 2 months later by a double turn before Goldberg could get his revenge on Hogan and Nash.

In hindsight I appreciate Tony Schiavone as a play by play guy. Sure he was a jerk and power hungry and held a grudge and had a stupid mustache in 1983 and called moves wrong and wasn't liked by anyone he worked with, but he REALLY sold the big moments well.

If you want to see bad announcing just listen to Bob Caudle on the NWA Starrcades because he sounds half asleep all the time.

Did Tony ever have a truly great announcing partner? He was either working with Larry Zbysko (insufferably smug), Bobby Heenan (they hated each other, plus Brain phoned it in towards the end), Mike Tenay (pretty bland when there are no luchadores in the ring to talk about) or David Crockett on the old NWA show (sounds like he's on Quaaludes half the time).

The phrasing of this question implies that Bobby Heenan wasn't great. This is a bad question. Even phoning it in Bobby was still better than Tony.

Tony Schiavone was a fine commentator, until he was passed over for the WCW executive producer job for Eric Bischoff. Then he just kinda went on auto-pilot and stopped caring that much.

Heenan could also kill the heat of a midcard match by being too jokey and just not giving a gently caress. That said I did love when Heenan and Rhodes were both on commentary and relatively sober.

Brain sold the gently caress out of the nWo after that one show where they laid out a ton of guys in the back it I'm remembering correctly. He sounded legit afraid when he's talking about his bad neck.
