Instant depression. Doesn't feel that long ago.

All I remember is that Bash at the Beach was the first WCW PPV I really really really wanted to buy (I was 12). The Outsiders gimmick had me hooked.

I was 16, and expecting Bret Hart to be the 3rd guy since he was off TV at the time lol

That's kinda interesting. The Bret Hart of that era would've been perfect to lead a faction like the NWO what with him starting to come off as the embittered, hardened superstar who was tired of seeing the "old order" of the wrestling world changing around him.

I feel like no one could've done that role better than Hogan. So so glad that they didn't go with Sting.

He wasn't bitter enough yet I don't think. Maybe late 97 Bret.
