Jericho took credit for issuing the nWo with it’s first defeat when he defeated Nick Patrick at November’s World War Three. Chris Jericho will face Masahiro Chono at Souled Out.The only mystery left is why Nasty Nick felt the need to disguise his identity
To make matters worse, Tony Schiavone told us in no uncertain terms that the mystery ref was Patrick. This was despite being officially outed as a card carrying member of the group last week. More inconsistency regarding the nWo Nick Patrick – as he has done for several weeks – refereed his Saturday Night matches under a mask.His target was Hollywood Hogan, obviously We saw a pre-recorded nWo style promo – complete with nWo music overlay – from presumed former member The Giant.In a theme that will continue, not only did we see plenty of promos for the event – which makes sense in kayfabe because the nWo’s Eric Bischoff is also the boss in WCW – but the WCW commentators kept promoting what is supposed to be a show from another promotion The Giant will challenge Hollywood Hogan for the WCW/nWo Title at the nWo’s first ever pay per view Souled Out.
So without further ado, let’s get stuck into week one of ‘ Meanwhile, in WCW’… If you are wondering why he will not be covering events from the WWF (WWE) it’s because Craig has already done exactly that with his Raw Rewind series. Jamie is still stuck 20 years in the past and shall be following events from WCW through its most successful year – 1997.
Today we continue where our The Way We Was series left off.
