  1. Was Larry's back hurt again that he went back into announcing after this? Are any of the Larry vs. HHH matches any good?
  2. I love that Arn all but tell Rhodes that he's turning heel and Rhodes is all too willing to take him as a partner anyway. Rhodes was looking chubbier than usual.
  3. Very paint by numbers and poor Sting had spent the last month being an after thought to Hogan vs Flair.
  4. The WON from the time says that WCW Saturday Night was half filled with plants for Hogan's first appearance in order to make sure he'd get the desired reaction.
  5. http://culturecrossfire.com/wrestling/wcw-clash-of-the-champions-27-hello-hogan/#.VaDeTflViko The first WCW megacard with Hulk Hogan under contract. Can you guess who gets all the hype in between Sting battling Flair, Cactus Jack and Kevin Sullivan brawling with the Nasty Boyz, Steve Austin grappling with Johnny B Badd, Lord Steven Regal testing the mettle of The Living Legend plus more action. Some interesting WCW backstage notes from the period are covered as well!
  6. http://culturecrossfire.com/wrestling/kayfabe-lies-and-alibis-eric-bischoff-shoot-interview-part-one/#.VZ0jJvlViko Eric Bischoff covers his days as a fan, learning the martial arts, his early business failures, starting with the AWA, his early WCW run, signing the WWF's big guns and much more!!
  7. http://culturecrossfire.com/wrestling/wcw-spring-stampede-1994/#.VYAldflViko Ric Flair and Ricky Steamboat try and capture magic in a bottle one more time as they collide for the World title, Cactus Jack and Maxx Payne brawl with the Nasty Boyz in one of WCW's most violent matches ever, Lord Regal tries to ground Flyin' Bryan, Muta tries to out wrestle Steve Austin, Dustin Rhodes and Bunkhouse Buck bleed all over the place, Rick Rude and Sting meet in their final PPV encounter and Vader collides with the Boss! One of the best WCW PPVs ever!
  8. This scored a full ratings point higher than Flair vs. Steamboat that was held that same weekend.
  9. Probably shouldn't have followed a double juice brawl with a more joint torture oriented one. Funk warned Rhodes he was coming for him earlier in the night and then had no back up plan when it went down. Nice storytelling in both the match and the angle though.
  10. I was really surprised at how little offence Blanchard got. Overall I was a little underwhelmed since I had 21 years of anticipation about seeing this match. PWI made a big deal about the brawling and "We want blood" chants in relation to ECW IIRC.
  11. http://culturecrossfire.com/wrestling/when-sht-got-real-incidents-of-pro-wrestling-becoming-a-shoot-vol-6/#.VXmWk_lViko This volume features New Jack wrecking jobbers, Death Matches gone horribly wrong, an MMA star learns pro wrestling isn't always "fake", The Nasty Boyz beat up jobbers and legends, and an all time Japanese legend chokes some respect into a young punk!
  12. IIRC Buck was mad at the Rhodes Family because Dusty through a towel on him in the 80's in a gym or something like that...does that ring a bell to anyone?
  13. Steamboat used two superplexes which I would like to think is a call back to Vader injuring Flair with a pair of them a few months earlier.
  14. http://culturecrossfire.com/wrestling/wcw-superbrawl-94/#.VXLIS89Viko Dual Thundercage matches headline as Ric Flair collides with Vader, Sting,Dustin Rhodes and Brian Pillman brawl with Rick Rude, Steve Austin and Mr. Wonderful, The Nasty Boyz try to eviscerate Cactus Jack and Maxx Payne, Arn Anderson faces Lord Steven Regal in a marathon of a match, along with an embarrassingly bad undercard full of roided up rookies.

  20. http://culturecrossfire.com/wrestling/kayfabe-lies-and-alibis-jj-dillion-and-jim-cornette-go-back-to-the-mid-atlantic-territory/#.VVSTp_lVikq Jim Cornette and JJ Dillon cover the whole history of JCP, from the humble beginnings, to the rise of Ric Flair, to the era of expansion in the 80's and ultimately cover why they were forced to sell out to Ted Turner.
  21. http://culturecrossfire.com/wrestling/wcw-battle-bowl-93/#.VVTCX_lVikp WCW puts 40 of their top names into random pairings, and forgot to book a good card along the way. A series of bad matches lead to a battle royal, all of which are part of one of the worst drawing PPVs in history and one of WCW's low points from a creative aspect.
  22. http://culturecrossfire.com/wrestling/kayfabe-lies-and-alibis-back-to-the-territories-the-uwf-with-hacksaw-duggan-and-jim-cornette/#.VUzCB_lViko Jim Cornette and Hacksaw Duggan take us back to the gravy days of the Mid-South/UWF region and cover the big angles, the bar fights, the drugs, the travel, the sex, the Wrestling War and much more!

  24. Sid and Flair vs, Vader and Austin did happen, as it was taped before Sid stabbed Arn. The match doesn't start and Sid gets laid out.
