Without knowing that this whole thing was done without Arn's permission, did/do you find this funny?

[CeilingFan]

I found Syxx to be funny in this segment.

I was trying to be angry at it when it happened, but really, I thought the thing was hilarious.

I found it funny for a couple of weeks but I would have liked it if the Horsemen got the win at War Games later that month.

[Allie Kitsune]

Nash was driving me nuts with the constant crappy impressions and creepy make-up jobs throughout that period.

Sucked, unfunny and offensive in places. This only should have resulted in Horsemen full revenge but of course it didn't because Nash/WCW/Ego

And let somebody besides the nWo have a big win? That couldn't happen.

Had the Horsemen tried to stop it, or won at War Games, this segment wouldn't be considered that bad. But the fact that once again the nWo outsmarted WCW, and got no comeuppance, plays a big part in why this segment isn't good.

Yes, I found it funny. But yes, it absolutely needed the Horsemen to tear shit up in response. Preferably that night.

[OVO 40 hunched over like he 80]

The significance of that? It's the hand I opened beer with.

Probably the funniest segment of all time.

The saddest part was that the beer cooler was really Arn's. Arn used to travel with a ref and he gave Nash the cooler.

There was also a 1999 version, but that one only made fun of Flair and Arn (and Piper):

I forget the exact line but it was something like, 'I went by the gym the other day. I didn't go in, I just went by it'

[Citizen Snips]

I bellied up to the bar as only I can, and that's when a fat broad...that's right, a fat broad!

Tasteless? Sure. Funny? Also sure.

[2coldMack is even more baffled]

If the Horsemen had actually wrecked shit in response, it would go down as an all time amazing segment. As it is, Nash's ego just turned it into a terrible segment with a few funny lines that contributed to killing a town for WCW.

The thing I always remember about this is when Nash talked about it on the NWO episode of the Legends of Wrestling and about how bad he felt after when Arn laid into him backstage about it and Nash said a few years later, they did a spot where Arn was gonna hit Nash with a pipe and Arm apparently really put his all in the shot. Nash called it a receipt and the whole panel cracked up laughing.

Everyone involved in it, at least the main players in Nash and Bischoff admit they wish they could take that back so I at least give them credit for admitting they did something in poor taste.

I thought it was amazing, and good on commentary for explaining why the Horsemen didn’t come out to stop it.

It being funny or not has no bearing on long-term booking. As a standalone segment, is it funny? To me, yes. Especially by wrestling humor standards. Wrestling trying to do humor consistently, if not constantly, falls flat. Very rarely do you get an E&C or a Kurt who have good lines, timing, delivery, presence. This clearly isn't as good, but it has its moments. There's some good lines in there and they're committing.

Lol at Schiavone saying we would never see the footage of the parody again, bitch I watch it once a year and still laugh like it was the first time.

It's my spot, not a liver spot, not a beer spot, not your dog Spot, but my spot!!

[Clash, Never a Meter Maid]

Even back then I thought the Arn stuff was pretty harsh, but everyone else was funny. The lack of a proper Horseman butt-kick hurts it.

I thought Arn was cool with it until after they actually did it. Then he got pissed
