There was once a time when NITRO had gotten so bad that we added a “NITRO Wishes” section to The Balrog’s Lair! Below, you’ll find that entire section laid out for your viewing pleasure. Enjoy!
Vince Russo’s Crash TV? Didn’t work. Bischoff’s celebrities? No dice. The WWFE? Too early to tell. What the hell is it going to take to get the WCW back on top of the wrestling game? Here are some Turner-owned WCW NITRO Wishes from Dave Talbert!

11/11/98
- I wish the Wolfpac would get some new members. I mean, 3 or 4 people
really don’t get my attention, unless your name is the Four Horsemen. - I wish that Flair would wrestle soon. I think everyone can agree with
me there. - I wish Scott Norton would get on camera more often. He is getting a lot
better. - I wish I knew what Savage was doing.
- I wish that Bill Clinton would interfere in Hogan’s next match and beat
him up. If that doesn’t get ratings, nothing will!! - I wish Goldberg would do more on camera interviews, because believe it
or not, that’s who most everyone wants to see. - I wish that DDP would take some time off. I am so tired of seeing him.
Oh wait…he is taking some time off!! Oh yes!! Whoooooo!!
10/17/98
- I wish that NITRO would get insurance policies, like the WWF did with
Rick Rude and apparently now the Big Boss Man. - I wish NITRO would do in depth interviews with some of the wrestlers,
for example the Goldust and Mankind interviews on RAW! - I wish at least one of my wishes would ever come true.
- I wish Michael Buffer would stop wasting his time with WCW. Its like
Jimmy Johnson coaching my high school’s football team. - I wish Buff Bagwell would get in the ring soon, or at least do more
interviews!! That guy is great!! - I wish the Cat, Ernest Miller, or shall I say the PussyCat Ernest
Miller, would get off camera and stay off. That guy isn’t getting a
pop, he never has recieved a pop, and he never will get a pop!!!!!! - I wish the NITRO Girls would…..well nevermind, they are doing just
fine!!!
10/10/98
- I wish the Wolfpac would open up their own body shop. I could see it
now,”Ladies and gentlemen, now for today’s shop talk, here is Sting. - I wish NITRO would have more Mexican 3 on 3 matches. I like to see
those little guys fly around the ring. - I wish Rey Mysterio Jr. would get back in the ring. I don’t care what
federation it is. - I wish Flair’s kids would wrestle Hogan’s kids in the main event some
time. - I wish the Steiner feud would hurry up already. WCW, again, ruined a
decent angle. - I wish Flair would do more interviews with Mean Gene. “Meeeeaaannn
Whooooo Gene.
9/29/98
- I wish Hurricane Georges would have left me the hell alone.
- I wish the Giant would stop pissing and moaning about how he isn’t
getting a push. He isn’t the only one that isn’t getting one. - I wish WCW would make up their mind if the want Bret Hart to be a heel
or not. - I wish Kidman would get the push that he deserves. Oops, he already
has. Yes!! - I wish Flair would get back in the ring as soon as possible. Whoooo!!
- I wish the NITRO Girls would wrestle in the main event. Let’s see, a
triple-threat match between Spice, Whisper, and Kimberly. Oh yeah!
9/8/98
- I wish that Hall would go to an AA meeting.
- I wish someone could get chokeslammed from the top of the steel cage.
Oops, wrong fed. WCW isn’t that creative. - I wish Balrog’s knee would get better so he could kick some more ass on
the football field!!!! - I wish the King, Heenan, and Vince McMahon could announce at the same
time. - I wish the Warrior would start using a more profound entrance.
9/1/98
- I wish the Disciple would go back to Brutus the Barber Beefcake, I
mean, hey it couldn’t hurt. - I wish that WCW would put on a good NITRO this Monday. I happen to
be going to it. - I wish they would give Nash a belt. His pop is second, only to
Goldberg. - I wish Piper would get a life.
- I wish that Dusty Rhodes would please everyone, and retire from WCW
booking. - I wish WCW could put on a ppv at least half as good as a WWF ppv.
- I wish WCW could borrow SCSA and DX for a couple of weeks. Well,
nevermind, they would probably ruin them too.
8/19/98
- I wish Eddie Guerrero would get an Oscar for his performance on NITRO.
- I wish they would give Nash a big push!!!!!
- I wish the Warrior would have shook the ropes!!! That’s all I wanted.
- I wish “The Living Legend” wouldn’t keep thinking that he is over with the fans.
- I wish the Balrog would get in WCW and give Goldberg his first loss!!!!! Everyone agree???
- I wish Stone Cold, Shawn Michaels, and Vince McMahon would jump Bret Hart when he comes down for his next match. That would be awesome!!
8/12/98
- I wish my computer would have not recieved a virus!!
- I wish WCW would make up their mind on what they want to do with Sting.
- I wish that WCW won’t let anymore celebrities wrestle at pay-per views and on NITRO.
- I wish DDP would get a hair cut and shave!!
- I wish WCW would kid-nap Stone Cold and bring him on NITRO, then again, they would probably do the same thing to him what they done to Bret Hart.
- I wish WCW will put on a good NITRO on September 7, since I will be attending that one, although the chances of a good NITRO are not possible.
- I wish the announcers would not treat every NITRO like the best NITRO ever or the biggest night ever in our sport. It gets old after a while.
7/21/98
- I wish Rick Rude and Chris Jericho would shave.
- I wish Buff Bagwell would make up his mind if he is paralyzed or not.
- I wish “Eazy E” would drop his “NWO Nightcap”. To me, that show cries,”Please RAW, WIN the ratings war.”
- I wish Goldberg would do an interview!!!!(As I said last week)
- I wish WCW wrestlers would stop using Utah Jazz players to do cameos. Utah blew it two years in a row. That should give you an idea about WCW!!!
- I wish the Ultimate Warrior would make his debut! I’m getting tired of hearing about how his debut has been postponed.
7/14/98
- I wish Nitro would entertain me for once.
- I wish Goldberg would do an interview sometime instead of just snarl and yell like he usually does. Sting has talked more than he has.
- I wish Dean Malenko’s dad would come back from the dead and kick the hell out of Chris Jericho(tell me that wouldn’t get ratings).
- I wish Chavo Jr. and Eddie would go on Springer to settle their family disputes.
- I wish there were more stipulation matches on Nitro. Something like a steel cage or a triple threat match. I mean, hey, it couldn’t hurt!
- I wish Nitro would go back to two hours. So, during the first of three hours, I won’t have to watch someone like Lenny Lane versus Glacier.
- I wish Konnan, Nash, and Sting would do more interviews. I love those guys when they have the mic. Its better than watching Hogan talk about nothing for 10 minutes.
- I wish they would give Rodman a script before they let him get in the ring and talk in the mic. He really sounded stupid the Nitro during the NBA Finals.
