1. Warriors Mind Games Backfire - 5th October 1998
One of the worst wrestling rivalries in living memory, the feud between Hulk Hogan and Warrior has to be one of the most excruciatingly awful things ever seen on a professional wrestling show. Barely memorable for Warriors alleged magical powers, the build to their rematch in 1998 featured the man appearing and disappearing in sinister explosions of smoke, and even displaying the ability to possess others. So far, so Undertaker but the worst moment was yet to come. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=78XbX5tVFeY Retreating to the locker room with Eric Bischoff, Hogan finds Warrior staring back at him from the mirror but Bischoff cant see him. Thats right Hogan can see Warrior. The live audience could see Warrior on the screen, as could the television viewers. The announcers could see Warrior, and comment on his eerie appearance (although one seems to think that hes inside the wall). But poor Eric couldnt see anything there at all. What should have cemented Warriors mind games against the Hulkster inevitably made Bischoff look like he was losing his mind. As if the awful parlour tricks and terrible special effects hadnt messed up the angle enough. Whats your favourite WCW Monday Nitro moment?
