It's another bonus show! This time, we're going back to the summer of 1998 where WCW pulled an about face, having the undefeated United States Champion, Goldberg, take on Hollywood Hogan for the WCW World Title in the main event of Nitro. We discuss whether this was a panic move and whether it paid off or turned out to be dumb in the long run. There are quite a few other matches on this show with most not amounting to much. WCW is heavily building up the main event at Bash at the Beach with DDP and Karl Malone making their presences felt throughout the night. Scott Hall makes a surprise return to run defense for Hogan halfway through the night. Buff Bagwell address the crowd after nearly breaking his neck and becoming paralyzed. There's also so much more! In the news, we discuss the fallout from WWF King of the Ring, Ken Shamrock still being contracted to the UFC, ECW's growing pains, drama with the NWO Hollywood and Wolfpack backstage in WCW, and an infamous Japanese wrestler retiring after a career littered with assaults, shoots, and firings.
