10 Best WCW Nitro Moments

6. Lawn Dart!

Following their formation at the 1996 Bash at the Beach pay-per-view, the New World Order were just about unstoppable. 

Hogan, Hall and Nash ran roughshod over WCW in the aftermath, doing what they wanted to do, when they wanted to do it. 

The Order are remembered as a kickass unit who made WCW cool and helped to keep them ahead of WWE in the ratings. 

You know, before they welcomed every from Virgil to…well, that’s bad enough, isn’t it? 

The episodes of Nitro immediately following the Bash at the Beach showed the nWo at their best, and perhaps none were better than the July 29th edition, where the trio took apart the WCW roster. 

First they got to Arn Anderson, Marcus Bagwell and Scotty Riggs with a baseball bat and stage light, before Rey Mysterio attempted to crossbody Big Sexy and got thrown mask-first into the side of a television truck like a human lawn dart.  

And I, like you, probably only know what a ‘lawn dart’ is because of this moment. 

Randy Savage then attempted a rescue, only to get driven away while dangling from the nWo limousine’s sunroof. 

Everything about the angle and its aftermath was game-changing television and also happened on the same show as the first nWo paid advertisement, which gave us the debut of the nWo logo and entrance theme.
