If I'm correct, Lex Lugar's theme was also used for the Bash at the Beach promos.

[@brandonpage7087]

Hey, that's nothing. In June of '96, the music used for the Great American Bash promos would end up becoming the entrance music for Konnan. Also, the music used for WCW's Powerplant promos would end up as the entrance music for the official "chairman of WCW" himself, La Parka!

Dammit, i knew that Hogan & the Booty Man were gonna cause Nitro to lose this week, lol. I gotta say, i completely disagree with the Road Warriors vs Harlem Heat match being disappointing.

I always love hearing Al Snow Explaining how the Avatar gimmick worked back to the person giving it to him and Al clearly confused at the dynamic. "Like I'm Avatar (an Avatar) a character/persona adopted by a person to take on a challenge or such thing, but I come out in the mask then take it off to wrestle?? That should be reversed a Mear man comes to the ring; then puts the mask on thus becoming an avatar in order to fight the match, but no you want the opposite. Mask for entrance, mask off for match??
