It was arguably the most anticipated wrestling pay-per-view of all-time, and it marked the beginning of the end for WCW. The end product looked nothing like what was built up beforehand. The terrible finish, rash of injuries plaguing the roster causing massive card changes, bad timing, bad commentary, bad refereeing, just bad everything happened that night on December 28, 1997. -- Follow us on Twitter [@_piccone] [@VaughnMJohnson] [@theshooterspod] You can subscribe to The Straight Shooters on the following platforms: [Apple Podcasts] [Google Podcasts] [Spotify] [iHeartRadio] [Amazon] [Audacy] [TuneIn Radio] [Pandora] [Stitcher] [Spreaker] [Player FM] and wherever else you get your podcasts!
