They run down the entire Bash card, which was highlighted by 21-year-old Rey Misterio Jr. vs. Psychosis, Dean Malenko vs. Disco Inferno for the Cruiserweight Championship, Konan vs. Ric Flair for the U.S. Championship, and the Hostile Takeover match featuring Sting &amp; Lex Luger &amp; \u201cMacho Man\u201d Randy Savage vs. The Outsiders (Scott Hall &amp; Kevin Nash) and the \u201cthird man\u201d which turned out to be Hulk Hogan. Many topics are discussed including match placement, gimmick and filler matches on this card, the effectiveness of the announcing (especially Bobby \u201cThe Brain\u201d Heenan), the overall legacy of the NWO, and the artistry of what took place in the main event.<\/p>\n<p><strong>DIRECT LINK:\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/android\/legacyuploads\/wp-media\/2021\/08\/20210806WWETN.mp3\">VIP AUDIO LINK<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>NOT VIP?
