Scott Steiner was always one who could look like a million quid but talked like £2.50

Cant agree with you on Luger. I loved his promo's..particularly as a heal.

I was at this show....the Flair v Von Erich was nice.....everything else was pretty average or worse. WWF @ London, England - Wembley Arena - October 4, 1991 (12,000) Tito Santana defeated the Barbarian Jim Duggan fought Typhoon to a double count-out Shawn Michaels & Marty Jannetty defeated Hercules & Paul Roma when Jannetty pinned Roma The Big Bossman defeated the Mountie Ric Flair pinned Kerry Von Erich with his feet on the ropes Davey Boy Smith (w/ Andre the Giant) pinned Earthquake after hitting him with Andre's crutch The Undertaker defeated Roddy Piper via disqualification when Piper used the urn as a weapon WWF Tag Team Champions the Legion of Doom defeated the Nasty Boys when Road Warrior Hawk pinned Sags

Im with Mr Shot on this one - love this place. It has fully re-ignited my love for the old wrestling I grew up watching and the seemingly endless list of matches I have not seen. Fantastic.

Hansen v Luger and Steiners v Nasty Boys from 1990

This match is so hot. I bet that you can watch it 100 times and see something different every viewing. Fantastic match.

Honestly, its a really fun show to listen to.....sure the sound is a bit suspect, but it was the first one I listened to and I was hooked and its the reason I have on this forum now.

I have always loved the Flair v Race match, but I have not seen it in some time, and I fear that the passing years may not have been kind. I do have to confess that I was amused by the opening match....but not means a match of quality, but I have a soft spot for faces who can get a reaction by simply doing a stupid dance or wiggling their arse about.

This is my favorite match of all time.

I thought P&G were going to be the best team ever when I saw this! They wernt ...but they probably still are a guilty pleasure for me.

Understood...

Hi, My name is Karl, I am 40 and am from a town called Bedford, about 40 mile north of London (UK). I have been a wrestling fan since the late 70's/early 80's (give or take), watching British wrestling on ITV's World of Sport. I can remember the very first American wrestling match I ever saw...it was the Hart Foundation vs British Bulldogs from (I believe) Boston, shown in place of the British wresting one Saturday afternoon. It wasn't until the late 80's when my family got Sky through Satellite TV that I became fully exposed to WWF and there was no turning back! Although WWF was the king of TV wrestling in the UK, we were lucky enough to get some NWA, AWA, USWA and Global thanks to Screensport. The next real turning point for me was WCW TV starting on ITV and AAA on Galavision in the early/mid 90's and then WCW PPV's being shown on German satellite channel DSF. This exposure to Lucha and greater coverage of WCW in partnership with magazines like Superstars of Wrestling (later Powerslam) wheted my appetite to what else was out there and eventually lead me to UK tape trader, Rob Butcher and my addiction to AJPW. I spent small fortunes on any Japanese wrestling I could get my hands on, but AJPW was the be all to me, followed by AJW and then NJPW.....FMW and W*ING lagged behind. Anyway....I waffle on. As with most good things, they come to an end eventually, and by 2000 my interesting in wrestling as a regular viewer and buyer waned. The end of WCW had a role to play in reducing my viewing....I always preferred that to WWF, despite its often very obvious flaws. Getting married put the nail in the coffin....no more £££ to spend on Puro and everything else. From there, I just drifted away.......kind of. I would still read books about wrestling, occasionally sign up to WON to see what was going on and every now and then watch WWE TV, but that was about it. Then I found this forum via the podcasts and my interest has been re-ignited....we shall see where that takes me.

Hi...I am new here, so I hope this isnt a really stupid question, but what is the deal with the password protected forums? Ta Karl

I think this was the first WCW PPV I saw as it was the first VHS released here in the UK - alas the VHS seems to have left off half the card, which was annoying. To me, it kind of summed up WCW - a lot of good stuff tempered by the likes of Robocop to damped the overall mood. Great show guys.

I would like to say a big thanks for taking the time to do something like this. As a former hardcore who essentially fell out of love with wrestling at the turn of the century, listening to these podcasts and reminded me how much fun wrestling was back in the day. Brings back a lot of ready good memories.
