i think the winner is definitely nwo taking over nitro and changing the set for a half hour
but s/o to modern classics, like the dallas cowboys cheerleaders dancing to an ac/dc song followed by the rock lighting his name on fire and then taking about 15 minutes to say "lotsa people here folks"
i don't think he buried the wyatts at all, but everything that happened until they came out was just outrageously dull

The Impact after Bound For Glory 2010 began with a 45-minute segment with Immortal that lasted through TWO commercial breaks. Then it was followed by a non-match with Tara laying down for Madison Rayne, then more talking. This for me, by a landslide. I've seen WWE segments that dragged on too long, but that was one of the few times I can recall honestly feeling insulted and drained after one. Also in retrospect, the Impact where Hogan debuted is mostly two hours of old dudes talking about crap only a select group of diehard wrestling fans would even remember or care about, with one great main event match with Angle and Styles that doesn't really make up for it. And that episode ended with a camera shoved up Hogan's nose.

Randy Savage and Elizabeth getting married at Summerslam '91. At least those who bought the Colliseum release got the added bonus footage of Jake Roberts crashing the ceremony, but the poor souls who bought the PPV got absolutely no payoff to the painfully boring wedding segment. Did anyone actually care for this? A couple already married getting 'married' as part of a wrestling angle is hardly compulsive viewing even if it was one of the biggest stars in the sport. Does anyone know if Savage or Elizabeth had any reservations about doing it? If it had been me, I'd have felt awkward.

Any extra, non-match segments at PPVs seem to be long and boring (pose down as mentioned and Luger's posing definitely).
The summerslam wedding meant something considering it had started playing out at WrestleMania and continued in storylines with Jake and Flair. I'm sure it would've gotten more steam in future storylines if they hadn't divorced in real life. Maybe it would've given Macho more to work with aside from being a commentator.

Also I'm sure that there are rumours indicating that their real life relationship was becoming very turbulent around this time. But yeah, I remember watching it for the first time thinking, "when is something going to happen?"

That was pretty boring lol Piper: "You used to have all these warts all over your face. Big nasty green ones! The only thing you could go out with was a guy who rang bells going hello a nice to see ya. What happened to the warts? Downey: "I gave them to a homeless warthog." Piper: "I didn't know your girlfriend was homeless!" I don't know whats sadder. The fact I have that exchange memorized, or the fact I found it funny. That's not bad, but I've been puzzled for many decades over another insult from that segment. Piper asked Downey why he called himself Morton Downey Jr., and Downey said, "that's the name your mama wanted to call me from the the husband that reared me." What does that mean? Is he saying that he and Piper were brothers?

whenever someone dresses up as another wrestler, DX as the Nation, NWO as the Horsemen.
The whole of the "DX Invades WCW" storyline, were one week we were treated to DX in a jeep driving round and walking through a crowd of people waiting to see WCW and also they knocked on a garage door. Then the week after HHH wrote "WCW sucks" in the sky with some smoke off a jet.

Didn't some Nitros not have any wrestling at all in the first hour? Probably some segment on one of those. Just one. An episode in February 99 featured no wrestling with the first hour featuring tons of Hogan and Nash segments filmed by a handheld in the nWo style. Wasn't as bad as people say (Still bad though) and Nash explained it later on by saying he wanted to make the first hour a pre show with hours two and three being the main show. It lasted one week and the ratings dropped so poorly during that first hour that they never did it again.

The episode Impact after Bound For Glory has already been mentioned but I remember a similar thing happened on WCW Nitro in 2001 with a very long opening promo with Ric Flair, Scott Steiner, Lex Luger, Buff Bagwell and others hosting a 'funeral' for Goldberg after he lost the night before. The likes of Kevin Nash and DDP get involved and the whole thing just seemed to go on forever I want to defend this segment. I thought it was f***ing hilarious. There was a spear and a jackhammer in the coffin!

Only because I was there: At a Smackdown taping, Eddie walks to the ring (no music) with something in his hand. Proceeds to stand there and stare at - a ha! - Rey's mask. Says nothing, then leaves. No one in the arena had any context on why or how this furthered the feud (Eddie vs. Rey in the Summer 2005 "Dominic" angle). Killed all the heat in the building (though technically I think the A/C was on~). So what your saying is. You couldn't feel the heat?
