Nitro - The Outsiders vs. Mortis & Wrath September 15, 1997 | Approx. run time: 6 mins.

Catch the early stages of the New World Order’s roots as The Outsiders take on the bizarre duo of Mortis & Wrath on Nitro. Would the nWo continue to wreak havoc on WCW, or would the monstrous duo pull off the upset?

 

I just finished watching this and it was pretty depressing sitting through it. All throughout the spring and summer, Mortis and Wrath were getting a very nice push. Then, it was all squandered as they were treated like WCW Pro jobbers by The Outsiders. Outside of a couple decent moves by Mortis, the Outsiders completely dominated and mocked two of the most unique and original gimmicks in WCW (I know, not saying much). Just awful.

There was a Smackdown show in Anderson?! Goddammit! I had no idea. Smackdown is surprisingly pleasing since I've started watching it again ('round the start of the summer).

I can't catch a break with WWE's on demand services. First I get my credit card stolen and am unable to start a new account with 24/7 Online, and now I get 24/7 on cable and Cogeco doesn't have all the shows that it should. I still love it, but the fact that I'm always missing events from "The Big Ones" is somewhat annoying. This is starting my 3rd week with it and I'm missing more content than usual - the new NWA show for the week did not appear, and as usual I am missing all PPV events. The really weird thing this week is, since TBO for me is usually just house shows (the first week it had SummerSlam 92 and a Meadowlands show from 88, second week it just had the house show), I have Boston Gardens 86 and MSG 91. That MSG show was not supposed to be on 24/7 for another 2 weeks, and the description for the Boston show is actually for ECW Barley Legal (which should be in the section along with Starrcade 85, The Wrestling Classic, and ECW ONS 2, but isn't).

And about one year later, Nash ended Wrath's singles push as being undefeated.

yeah i remember Nash ended wraths run. Mortis was one of the coolest gimmicks around at the time with the cool outfit, dark organ music and Mitchell as his manager but as with most things not labeled NWO it was barely given chance to get off the ground.

 

On another note, anyone remember when Kanyon tried the gimmick out on a WWE dark matches a few years ago?

Related to Melina?

[Guest DRH 502]

yeah its her half brother from Puerto Rico who used to work for Carlos Carlon. He had a long fued with Carlito before Carlito got called up. Word is here are bad feeling between them

[Spaceman Spiff 0]

He's really good in tag teams and since SD is approaching an actual tag division, if they can get the right player with Palumbo, that'd really boost the show and the tag division.

Bring back Stamboli to team w/ him. Stamboli has a goofy sort of charisma that can get over in the midcard (he & Nunzio were starting to get good reactions right before they released Johnny). Tweak the FBI gimmick by making them bookies/gamblers (I know it's a retread of some stuff they did before, but they really didn't go all out w/ that idea).

 

Or, as I'm watching Rob Conway job to Snitsky on Heat, move Conway to SD to team w/ Chuck.

To all my respective fans in WWE/ECW,

 

The letter you are about to read is not from WWE, nor from my agent, but from me- Kurt Angle…to my all fans.

 

This is my personal ‘Thank You’ straight from my heart, to all my fans for being here with me and providing me with the most honorable privilege to perform and entertain for you. Thank you for tuning into your TVs weekly, for visiting me at hundreds of house show chanting ‘You Suck’ (I love that phrase), to every single good, bad or indifferent e-mail I’ve received over the past 6 years and continue to receive daily.

 

Thank you for being there and making my life truly blessed. When I came to WWE, many fans had doubts that an Olympic Gold Medalist in Amateur Wrestling could turn and master the art of Sports Entertainment. To my humble surprise, God graciously granted me the gift to make this exciting transition in my life. Coming into the WWE, I had one goal in mind...to be the VERY BEST! Many say I am; some may say I'm not. But I want you to know with over six solid years of non-stop wrestling action under my belt from all the shows to the world tours...I treated every single match as if it were my last!

 

I’ve never known a time in my life from training, competition or entertainment that I have not tried to give over 100%. I honestly do not know of any other way to wrestle or perform, and I have always wanted to give YOU, the fans, what I would expect to see. From the entertainment standpoint, (good guy or bad guy), it’s been truly exciting, but I know in my heart that I have not reached my peak. Critics have compared me to very honorable wrestlers like Rick (sic) Flair, Bret Hart, Shawn Michaels and the Undertaker, all of whom I value and truly respect. But there is one BIG difference between us. I am by far the most aggressive and intense athlete of all on the mat. When I step into the ring, I treat it as real, it feels real and then I play it like a real shoot fight.

 

As an amateur wrestler for 23 years and a pro for 6, unfortunately over the past 4 years I have suffered many injuries. I broke my neck twice and had two major neck surgeries. I’ve fractured my ribs, hip, tailbone, fingers and toes while also tearing almost every major muscle at least one time or another. Injuries have always been a natural part of the business and my life, but where I have failed is not taking the time off to recover. When I’m off the mental stress, sitting back becomes worse than the physical pain. Something tells my inner soul to go back regardless of the condition. The funny thing is, this obsession is what the industry loves, but this obsession can also be my destruction.

 

Week after week, day after day, 250 days a year on the road can be a living hell for anyone, especially when you're in daily pain for months on end. It was at home when I began to realize how severe the problems were- when a simple task like taking out the garbage is like a full workout and I needed Motrin in order to get up and do it.

 

It’s time to rest! After 6 long years, I looked into my wife’s eyes and finally saw that she, too, was severely stressed and worn out due to my livelihood that she had to endure. My 3-year old daughter Kyra basically became my nurse, thinking she had to put ice packs or heating pads on my neck, back and legs because she could see the pain her daddy was in.

 

At this point, something happened that made me realize that wrestling wasn't the most important thing in my life. I sat down with my wife Karen, who had tears in her eyes. I could see in her face how concerned she was for me. She said, “I love you. I didn't marry you because you were a WWE Superstar. I married you before you ever joined them. Kurt, I’m so worried that if you continue going at this pace, something bad is really going to happen and I don't want Kyra and Kody (our unborn son) to grow up without their father.”

 

I did take this all to heart, but then, as usual, a couple of days later, I went back on the road, wanting to electrify my new ECW fans.

 

My last event was at the Westchester Arena in White Plains, New York. The show was sold out. The main event was me against RVD. I had a great match against RVD as the fans were cheering for both of us. The more we wrestled (Rob and I wrestle more of a realistic shoot style), the more I wanted to give them. Ten inutes into the match, I severely pulled my groin. Most wrestlers would have quit right on the spot. But the fans were chanting louder and louder "THIS MATCH RULES!" continuously, so I kept going. Compensating for my groin injury, I pulled my lower abdominal muscle off my pelvic bone. Now, I was in trouble, but I looked up at the fans and they were screaming louder than ever.

 

So Rob and I started into our finish, false finish after false finish, back and forth. But the one thing the fans noticed is that I was doing half of the match on one leg. That made it feel even more real for the fans. I can only thank God and the fans for keeping me going, as I was in so much pain. And at the end of the match, I had the opportunity to beat RVD. I set him up for the Angle Slam and Rob countered with a flying DDT. My hamstring blew out. The fans cheered and I could not move in the ring. As the agonizing pain grew greater, I could only look around. Every fan was on their feet giving me a standing ovation. And this was at a house show, not a PPV. My only regret was that I could not stand up and thank them all for it.

 

To the ones who love me, the ones who hated me and even the ones who loved to hate me- You were and are my inspiration. God was and is my strength and so is my family—my Mom, sister and brothers, my father (God rest his soul), my Manager Dave Hawk and most especially, my wife Karen, who went through hell during my career. She has never given up on me.

 

Fans, thank you all for the memories. It was quite a ride. I would not trade any of it for the world. As I sit here a bit teary eyed, I do want all of you to know, I will be fine. I will finally get to spend some real quality time with my family… time that is much, much overdue. My plan and goal is to become stronger mentally, physically and spiritually. I, Kurt Angle, will be back! That’s a promise. And that’s DAMN TRUE!

 

Vince, if you happen to read this, I want to again say thank you from the bottom of my heart. You are a great man!

 

When we get together, the next cup of coffee is on me. ; )

 

God Bless,

 

Kurt Angle

The thing about the daughter got to me. Some here probably understand that too. If he wants to see her grow up, graduate, get married and have kids of her own, he needs to think twice about coming back.

GODDAMN!!!!!

 

I hope Kurt takes a MINIMUM of 18 Months off

[The Buzz 0]

I would hope he won't rush his comeback. Take a year or two off. People aren't going to forget about Kurt Angle now. He's made an impact on the business. I'd even go as far as to say he doesn't need to come back fulltime at all. His body sounds like it doesn't need it.

Latest observer newsletter states that Psychosis (SP?) was buried by one of the agents recently at a booking meeting and he could be on his way out soon...

Disappointed to far in the History of the WWE championship DVD.

 

Only on disc one still but many things are clipped, quality is horrible on the Morales vs Koloff match.

[DrVenkman PhD 0]

Damn and I thought a title match from 1970-whatever would look awesome when transferred to DVD.

 

Anyway, I saw bits of a movie on TV last night about a Japanese man that decided to move to America and become a cowboy. Wonder if that is the basis of Jimmy Wayne Yang.

"IndiaEnews.com is reporting that Great Khali has been suspended from his job in India, where his is an assistant sub-inspector with Punjab Armed Police (PAP). Why? For the most logical of reasons, he hasn't reported to work because he has been in the US working for WWE"

I have heard that Angle may also have a fractured vertabre.

Is the main feature in documentary style? That could be why its clipped, or is the clipping in bonus matches? (Is Morales vs Koloff a bonus match?)

Hooray, Cogeco finally put Starrcade 85 up on 24/7 today. Maybe they got my e-mails about the line-up being incomplete. I just watched a bit (the opening) - man is it funny when that Johnny Weaver guy is on camera. He looks out of it and confused.

[DrVenkman PhD 0]

They did announce Undertaker vs. Kennedy on 10/7, which tells you how far in the doghouse Terkay has fallen

. (from the ongoing SD spoilers)

 

Did I miss something about Terkay?

[Guest Hotbutter Spoontoaster]

Terkay is in the doghouse? I haven't heard anything about that either.

Oh crap I remember that I think the fed was called IWCCW or something like that. I totally didnt remember styles being the announcer, but thats where I first saw Tommy Dreamer and Taz on TV

[DrVenkman PhD 0]

The deal is the channel is not a "soon to be" former WB, it is a former WB. MNT (MyNetwork TV) launched officially launched on Monday (and many channels had dropped their "brand" programming prior) but the CW launches later. If you have a UPN that isn't part of the CW network, SmackDown is gone and/or displaced on a soon to be CW until the network launches.
