21 WTF Moments From WCW Nitro (Jan 12th, 1998)

Flair cripples The Anvil and the nWo implode in Jacksonville, FL!

Back in 1997, the new World order were a happy bunch, taking over WCW, winning all the titles and generally making all the babyfaces' lives a misery. But after the fallout from Starrcade 1997 and last week's Nitro WTF Moments from the January 5th, 1998 episode where Savage inadvertently knocked out Bischoff, causing Savage to slap Hogan for questioning him which led to Nash laying out the Macho Man, this was going to be an interesting episode to view and dissect. On the January 12th, 1998 edition of Monday Nitro we see the new World order try to become a united front again in the battle for WCW. On the debut edition of Thunder, JJ Dillon stripped Sting of the WCW World Title and the belt is vacant until the big grudge match with Sting and Hollywood Hogan to determine the Undisputed WCW Champion. That match will take place at Superbrawl in about six weeks. Can the nWo keep it together? Will Randy Savage be able to control his temper after Big Sexy knocked him out at the conclusion of last week's show? Who will WCW steal from the WWF roster? Let's take a look at 21 WTF Moments from January 12th, 1998's WCW Monday Nitro...

Every week, Mike Tenay and Tony Schiavone rock the black shirt with the Nitro logo, but not big Larry Zbyszko. Larry instead has a t-shirt that looks like he's about to play a round of golf. If only there was a WCW Shop at the time. Those bad boys would've sold out, I'm sure!
