20 WTF Moments From WCW Nitro (Feb 2nd, 1998)

11. Piece To Camera Post-Match Promos

As soon as Booker T got his title belt and the referee raised his hand, he walked right over to the camera and talked trash about him being the TV Champion, how he'll defend it against all comers and how nobody will be taking the belt from him. These spontaneous 'to camera' promos are a unique twist that as far as I know, no other wrestling company on mainstream TV has used since. They're really effective and make you, the viewer, feel like the wrestler is talking to you at home. I'd like to see WWE, TNA or ROH implement this in 2016.
