Miss Elizabeth Run in NWO?

[bluebeach25]

Did she join the NWO because of Macho Man or Lex Luger or what was the Story why? I can't remember? Also did you like her more in WWF or WCW? I say she went huge in WWF but i thought her WCW nice too, she had some heel charisma atleast. She was never a good promo but i just thought her look in WCW overall was pretty amazing.

She made a pretty effective heel in WCW, but nothing compares to her WWF run.

Pretty sure she was in the nWo because of Bischoff and Hogan's influence. Savage came along later.

Not sure on timeline with Luger but I'd find it hard to believe they'd do anything publicly because of Randy's unpredictability.

Agreed though I always thought she looked really uncomfortable being a heel,she was always so natural being good and incredibly likeable a person,her heel antics just looked forced in my book.I didn't think she suited the NWO at all.

I want to say Macho got her to join the nWo -- she didn't fit in there at all imo

the lovely Elizabeth was much better in the WWF

I didn't like it.

Liz just never had the kind of presence to come off as a bad or mean person, and cutting promos was never a strong point for her.

So in many ways, she always seemed like the nice girl who was caught up with a bad boy. You usually felt more bad for her than anger.

She debuted in January 96 with Savage & like 2 weeks later she turned on him costing him the world title to Flair. From that point through August her & flair are flaunting their relationship & spending savage’s money.

In September 96 she randomly starts having feelings for Savage again & begins showing up during his matches and interviews wanting to talk but savage wants nothing to do with her.

It’s revealed her wcw contract is up and implied that it won’t be renewed. Hogan offers her an nwo contract with promises of huge movie roles with love scenes with George Clooney & Kevin Costner. She signs with the nwo but once she’s signed Hogan changes his tune & makes her his slave. He forces her to make videos claiming she still loves Savage. Savage cries alot, runs away and gets his ass kicked every week until losing at halloween havoc to Hogan.

Savage is gone after Havoc. Hogan would force Liz to kiss him & claim their an item. After a few weeks that’s dropped & she just becomes reluctant arm candy for Bischoff.

Savage returns in early January 97 as a babyface aligned with Sting. Savage turns heel at Superbrawl joining the nwo costing Piper the title. The next night the nwo gives him a now happy Liz as his reward. A little over a year later Liz would turn on Savage again joining nwo hollywood & randomly making out with Bischoff in a skybox with Savage watching.

Nothing compares to Macho/Liz in the WWF.

Having said that, her WCW run gave her more opportunities to up her game as a performer, rather than just standing in a corner playing perennial damsel in distress. Yeah, she did look uncomfortable sometimes, but there was some good stuff too. She was great with Luger.

I was going through all the Nitro's starting from the beginning recently and I thought she actually cut a half way decent heel promo on Savage I believe on the night after she turned on him at Superbrawl. She seemed a little tentative at first where it looked like Flair was about to butt in to cover for her but she was able to get her composure and did pretty good. It surprised me because I remember her hardly ever talking during her WWF run and when she did she always came off as so uncomfortable.

However then there was other times where she would screw up just doing the simplest of tasks like putting handcuffs on Hulk Hogan. They were going to this spot where Elizabeth was supposed to handcuff Hogan to the turnbuckle so he would be defenseless while the heels would beat him up. However it was somehow taking her so damn long to put the cuffs on that she still hadn't been able to get them on before other faces had already come out to make the save and the show was about to go off air with Kevin Sullivan having to come over to tell her to not even bother anymore. Like I don't mean to be mean but it's like come on. It's such a simple task I don't know how you can not be able to do that.

I seem to vaguely remember that she initially joined the nWo so that they would stop beating up Savage but Hogan quickly revealed he lied or something to that effect.

I know this is not supposed to be funny, but ... wow. This has to make Liz one of the top-5 most gullible characters in the history of wrestling.

Plus she was a slave in wcw twice. For Hogan & then Russo. Hogan didn’t put her on a leash like Russo did so I guess that makes Hogan a swell guy as slave owners go.
