Are they supposed to be bouncers!? They look like greasy sweat hogs! You would think, NWO would hired bodyguards with some muscle. Yet, I can't say, with the aged dancers that can barely dance, & the three random fat guys, sitting on the stairs. Plus the stage for the PPV was unique, with new light up staircase, trio of titan-trons, and live band. Despite that, at least, the opening video with a dictatorial speech from Bischoff, was kinda cool. Honestly, the symbolic would be, better, if they were riding the semi-trucks! At least, that makes sense with the story, they were originally trying to tell, with the NWO taking over the production of WCW. Why, garbage trucks!? I guess, everybody knew, this PPV would be trash. Taking place at Cedar Rapids, Iowa, at the Five Seasons Center, in the cold midst of the winter, the PPV opens up, with the NWO wrestlers riding the backs of garbage trucks. However, the first missteps in direction, became to show in early 1997, when then-president, Eric Bischoff, had the idea of making the NWO, its own entity or brand, by, giving the heelish group, its own PPV, without much deep thought. It was the main driving forces behind World Championship Wrestling promotion rise on topping the World Wrestling Federation, back in the Monday Night Wars, for a while. The idea of seeing a rebelling stable of wrestlers going against the corporation establishment was entertaining to see. In late 1996, the New World Order angle was perhaps the hottest thing in pro-wrestling at the time.
