50 Best WCW Moments Ever
7. The Outsiders Arrive
Then, 'Big Sexy' followed suit by bolting from the McMahon nest and becoming WCW's next major hire. He debuted on the 10 June 1996 edition of Nitro, and it started to become clearer what Eric Bischoff was trying to do. The WCW boss knew there'd be significant interest in an implied WWF invasion, but the loudest words went unspoken.
Nash and Hall didn't say they were doing Vince's bidding. Instead, they were dubbed The Outsiders, and everyone skirted around the idea that McMahon had sent two of his biggest stars down to sabotage the competition. It was genius, and there were even better days lying in wait.
Diesel and Razor Ramon were on WCW television. That's how it looked to fans who now looked upon Nitro as the must-see show on Monday nights. It wasn't long before the ratings skewed firmly in Atlanta's favour. The Outsiders arriving in such dramatic, unadvertised fashion should be considered a big reason why.
"Where The Big Boys Play"? Yeah, well they 'ain't playin'! Nash and Hall were there to make money and turn WCW business around.
