30 WCW Matches You Must See Before You Die

By Marcus K. Dowling /

15. Hall, Nash & Hogan vs. Luger, Sting & Savage (Bash At The Beach '96)

While you may know Dusty Rhodes the wrestling commentator as the inventor of words like "plundah," listen to his call of "the NWO formation match" from Bash at the Beach 1996. He's amazing on the call, and the match itself really isn't a slouch either as you're getting Scott Hall and Sting in the prime of their careers. Note how the crowd's complete disinterest in Hulk Hogan sauntering to ringside becomes absolute disgust when he turns. It's a weird blend of "screw that guy" to "no, we actually liked you better when you were irrelevant" to "no, now you're going to still be a top guy but you're bad now...DAMMIT."Of course, by the time Hogan cuts the promo, the people are all back in again like, "okay, this is going to be awesome." Sometimes Hulk Hogan is the best.
