    Saw this on SMW set already. Pretty lame segment with some terrible acting.

    After letting the Rumble finish stand as a draw, I think Tunney makes the right call by letting both competitors get a shot at the title at WrestleMania. He spells out the match possibilities pretty clearly. This was more effective than a long promo any current GM would do.

    First time seeing this and wasn't aware of the history of Dave's rating until reading this post after. Definitely a fun match as I enjoy these six man matches. Fuchi decides he needs a bit more exercise and uses Kobashi's face as a step board. Good match but agreed that not five star.

    Top rope Suplex by Vader looked real good. What was the deal with Rude being done? I am not familiar with WCW at this time and he didn't look too bad here as was bumping around. Though I did see him grimace a bit running the ropes. I thought his career ended due to a spot in a match.

    Gene is over the top here. Heenan gets good reaction. As a WWF fan growing up, I had trouble getting use to these guys in WCW. Too bad Heenan can't contribute these days to the Legend Roundtables on WWE Classics.

    I think there has been worse Rumbles than this though there was a lack of star power in the event. Diesel was definitely the highlight of this when he tore through everyone before getting ganged up on. I thought Bigelow also had a good performance lasting a decent amount of time after already having a match earlier and being involved in the casket match. Michaels/Jannetty squaring off was a great little segment in event.

    Well, I was 13 at the time and found the post match supernatural stuff a bit silly. But I did enjoy the heels interfering and beating up Undertaker. More pre match video history before hand. Match is in full which was a surprise as I thought we would just get the post match stuff. Yoko with a chair shot to back of Taker's head that looked like it could have hurt. Match was pretty decent up until the run ins. Jarrett didn't fit with the other guys out there. Would have thought I'd hate this these days but it doesn't age as bad as expected.

    Glad the video history package was included before the match. Well, this is my return to wrestling. I stopped watching WWF (all I watched for wrestling at that time) around late 90. Didn't have cable anymore and being the youngest with only one TV is the household, I didn't get much access to it. A friend of mine taped this PPV and I randomly just watched this the next night after the show. I loved this angle and immediately became a huge fan favorite of Owen and got sucked back into wrestling. So this show has some strong sentimental value to me. I still think this match is very good after these years but doesn't seem as long in time as when I watched it originally. Quebecers do a good number on Bret outside the ring after he injures his knee. Bret not being able to continuing and the ref stopping the match doesn't seem as believable as it did at the time though. This seems too short now and referee jumped to this decision too quickly. But how can you not agree with Owen that all Bret had to do was make the tag. Owen is none too pleased at this result and we get the turn and his wonderful post match promo.

    Fun little match. I didn't know Ice Train was in WCW back in 94. Wikipedia tells me he disappared shortly after this for a while. Simmons pops him good at the beginning. The Boss just doesn't look right to me wearing all black. Train gets some revenge at the end by distracting Simmons.

    Sting and the Nature Boy live nature wide! Vader! Rude! Take you to school. Side by side. Four to start. One to finish.
  11. Kevin Ridge
    Owen will finally get his big break. Him and Bret will finally win the big titles. Water under the bridge. I believe it. New tights for Bret.
  12. Kevin Ridge
    Yoko good, Crush Bad. This sets up the Rumble match as Yoko is deathly afraid of casket matches. Sells is really good when Undertaker pops out.
  13. Kevin Ridge
    Yeah, no big match to settle this fued. Lot of boasting about the Chicken suit match though. This match needed a bit more time in the end.
  14. Kevin Ridge
    First time on this one. Great segment. Just weird to think that Flair is the bad guy once Hogan arrives.
  15. Kevin Ridge
    Prince Kharis! Not that impressive in the end. No fairytales here.
  16. Kevin Ridge
    Cornette is very happy after the board results. His mom is on the board after all. Terry Funk. Cornette's choice here is Terry Funk. Bullet gets rid of his mask if he loses. Some feet kissing here.
  17. Kevin Ridge
    Is Bret standing on a stool like Andre here? Looking many inches taller than Owen on promo. Poor Owen, this was his big opportunity. Quebuequers pretty confident to get titles back.
  18. Kevin Ridge
    I hate handhelds. As a ladder match I was expecting more high spots but we were not getting them here. The commentary did not do it for me. The WrestlemMania match was way better than this.
  19. Kevin Ridge
    I love this match. About ten years ago I picked up the Wrestlefest VHS on Ebay just to see this match. Worth it. Great suplex exchange early between Owen and the Steiners. Screwdriver makes another appearance on this set. I have to personally rank Steiners in top two of my favorites matches in this set so far. Too bad we didn't get an Harts vs. 123 Kid/Jannetty match at this time. Well at least WWE history tells me so. Gorilla going out of his way to call Patterson fat at end of match was funny.
  20. Kevin Ridge
    Afa hit a sweet Samoan Drop here. He looked pretty spry in his brief exchange with the Kid. Second ref running down and changing finish is silly as there is no consistency with this type of stuff. Samu did a great hanging of himself in the ropes off a Kid spin kick. Agree with Gorilla, should have just let the match continue instead of DQ. Fonzie is indeed a goof.
  21. Kevin Ridge
    Fun match. Would have liked to have seen longer runs for both teams during this period. False finish during commercial break was weird. Can't imagine we would get those these days. Jannetty was throwing some bad looking drop toe kicks here. Nice title change if only briefly.
  22. Kevin Ridge
    Yep, Gene was interrupting Flair at times. Putting his hand on Flair's shoulder to try to get him to wrap things up faster. Okerlund named Hogan in here. Was Hogan already in the works to come to WCW at this point?

    Beer Drinkers & Hell Raisers by ZZ Top.

    Hogan's post match pose down doesn't look all that impressive with those skinny arms.
  25. Kevin Ridge
    This has to be the first time I've seen Inoki lose a match. Granted I haven't seen a ton of matches so this was a pleasant surprise to see.
