Road to WMX8 was such a crazy one. Not even at No Way Out yet and the build for the NWO is funny in hindsight knowing what we know now about the politicking (I'm sure it was known back then, but not by as much of the audience). Flair basically begging Vince not to bring them in, but it sounded more like he was saying that because he knew what those guys could do behind the scenes. They even showed the fingerpoke of doom on the "NWO highlight reel"!
And during this same time, we have HHH/Stephanie renewing their wedding vows. Say what you want about "sports entertainment" and the over the top soap opera nature of stuff, but many times that's what makes watching the shows that much more fun than just wrestling.
That whole night was crazy. Them getting ready to renew their vows, HHH finding out Stephanie isn't pregnant, and the crowd and tv audience all know going into this segment that HHH knows, but Vince and Stephanie don't know he knows.
