Hey are you the same supersonic on ROHworld? if so i love your reviews
Yeah those matches stand out and im buying for those three.
Hey Thomas…news flash…nobody cares…I will be buying this set on blu ray. FIRST DAY PURCHASE. COME ON AUG.11
I will not be buying the WCW Monday Nitro Volume 3 {3 dvd set} at all.
What I liked about Vol 2 was there was 1 repeat match from the entire set while all the others were carefully chosen whereas the matches here are not really the best and the repeated matches don’t mean too much. I might pick it up when it’s in the bargain bin.
3 matches repeated in this post;
— The New World Order kicks out The Giant
December 30, 1996 • Knoxville, TN
— WCW World Tag Team Championship Match
Scott Hall & Syxx vs. The Steiner Brothers
October 13, 1997 • Tampa, FL
— nWo Takes Over Monday Nitro
December 22, 1997 • Macon, GA
Not sure but if you’re meaning those ones are listed twice in the above article – yes, because the top bit revealed the new nWo themed content for today, and the big list at the end is every match/moment revealed in Nitro Week.
If you’re referring to the Steiner’s match, that’s not the same one. That was Hall and Nash, that’s the one that’ll be on the Kliq set.
First day was cool. The rest of the week which includes 3 repeats even one is on an upcoming set, the kliq, and its no go for me
Thank you for letting us know your plans…wow! three repeats! out of 20+ matches really is a deal breaker…damn you WWE!
Thank you for posting some of the content. Can’t wait to see what the rest will be. Also, for some there may be repeat matches, but for someone like me who doesn’t own a lot of WWE DVDs, and loved Nitro, it will be great to see them again, or for the first time.
Lol! What if WWE released a Deja Vu set of nothing but repeats? Shawn vs. Razor from Mania X; Hogan vs. Andre from Mania III; Rock vs. Austin from Mania X-Seven; etc. 3 discs of nothing but re-runs.
