Reliving The War might be over, but I'm still playing catch-up with PPVs missed during the initial run. This time we're going back to 1996 for WCW's Great American Bash, a show that sets the tone for what's to come in the years that follow.

The main event features Lex Luger getting a title opportunity against The Giant. The Semi-Main features a match that had no right being as good as it turned out being - Ric Flair & Arn Anderson vs Kevin Greene and Steve McMichael. However, we get a real glimpse into the future when Kevin Nash and Scott Hall appear to speak with Eric Bischoff. Bischoff informs these "Outsiders" that WCW have agreed to give them a 6-man tag match at Bash at the Beach, but it all ends with Eric feeling the wrath of the former Razor Ramon and Diesel.
