    Yep. Terrific match, but Dusty was just putrid here. But a terrific match nonetheless. Eddie & Benoit were getting over by the sheer excellence of their in-ring work.

    This Orndorff storyline was incredibly weird and was indeed building to nothing in term of wrestling feud.

    Hello, I am Dean Malenko, I have a thousand holds but no charisma. Nerdy indeed.
  4. El-P
    Well, yes there is : http://prowrestlingonly.com/index.php?showtopic=19237

    If you watch 1999 to 2001, you'll rename that thread "Don't get me started on WCW".

    He was fucking awful in WCW, on every level. Probably the worst all-around worker there with Stevie Ray and Brian Adams.
  7. El-P
    Cool! Indeed.

    Oh fuck, yes indeed it's pretty lame. Pink setup. No Flair. Pre-tape. Arn talked about "Nakanishi", which probably no one understood since he was simply named Kurosawa at the time (Dusty even made fun of it afterward).
  9. El-P
    WTF was this ? And this was used to build to the super annoying use of the roll of tape in upcomings Duggan matches. Yawn. And it was not even the most WTF segment of the show, as Hogan & Savage dressed as grim reapers in a cemetary was even more ridiculous.

    Good little interview by the Stinger. Sullivan is doing a good job making things interesting on top. This was on Saturday Night BTW, not Nitro.

    I couldn't disagree more. Sting made no less than three no-sell babyface comebacks, including no-selling a suplex on the floor, which sucks. Flair showed a little more agression than usual when he tried to use a chair, but transitionned back to Sting with the usual "gets launched off the top rope" bit. I don't think there's any big match more formulaic than Flair vs Sting, and this is my least favourite Flair series because of it. This was every Sting vs Flair match with some nice intensity, but considering Sting said he was gonna kill Flair, I wouldn't call this really good, especially with the no-sell galore. Post match was really good though, especially with Luger's involvement. This was also a complete fraudulent "interactive match" that the fans booked by calling the hotline. Yeah, like there was any chance they would call for Scott Norton vs Dave Sullivan...

    Yeah, Jimmy Hart is very good here. All those years playing Hogan's cheerleader really were a waste of his talents. Anyway, this was a way for Hogan to lose the belt without losing the belt and make WWIII a huge PPV. On paper that is.
  13. El-P
    This is kinda psychedelic. Hogan & Savage wearing the nWo colors together is a cool foreshadowing of what's to come in one year and a half.
  14. El-P
    I dunno, I probably have seen way too much Arn promo's about "Everywhere I go, people ask me when I'm gonna put *this* back together.", and too much Flair going crazy talking about the Horsemen, and Pillman's Loose Cannon stuff hasn't aged very well with me, but this felt very much by-the-numbers to me. Plus there's no clear reason why the band would be back together nor explanation about how Flair & Arn settled their difference. Nor why they screwed up Sting for no particular reasons when the two big rivals of Flair in the past year have been Hogan & Savage. So yeah, didn't do much for me.

    I laughed my ass off re-watching this. Hearing Tony Schiavone say "The Yeh-tay is taller than the Giant, look at the Yeh-tay !" just fucking cracks me up every damn time. I'm cracking up as I'm writing this. Plus he's a giant mummy, he doesn't look like Big Foot at all. And he's fucking Hogan in the ass ! Then he's fucking Randy Savage in the ass ! This is glorious. One of the funniest pro-wrestling trainwreck of all time. The Yeh-tay !

    Total vintage Hogan WCW retardation ! Heenan saying "This is exciting" while not even trying to fake the least bit of excitement tells the whole story. And yeah, Hogan was portrayed as a babyface here, Giant falling was clearly an accident, Hogan simply got out of his grip and the momentum carried the Giant away. This is still making me laugh too, soooo stupid. And now, let's go to Luger vs Savage, because the Giant would have wanted it that way.

    Great angle, great beatdown, great face-in-peril segment, great hot-tag, great double-cross, great Sting fiery comeback, great beatdown again. The fan in the first row going crazy for the Sting beatdown is awesome. So yeah, let's just pretend Arn & Flair made up after Fall Brawl, decided to reunite the Horsemen and fuck around with Sting just for the hell of it.
  18. El-P
    Yeah, went too long, and DDP isn't exactly Pillman at this point, and still far from the worker he would eventually become. Still, hot beginning and once they picked it up again the match got really fun. Maxx Muscle was useless though, and threw a weak clothesline as the finishing spot. Kim was adorable.
  19. El-P
    Excellent match and probably the Blue Bloods' best, although Regal works the bulk of it and Eaton doesn't get to do that much. Regal vs Benoit is always extremely good, and Malenko is better in a tag setting to me.
  20. El-P
    Tony Schiavone (about Sherri) "She's very much in love with Colonel Parker." Dusty Rhodes "I'm telling you, it's so thick." Tony Schiavone "It is thick." This never gets old.

    I was wondering why no one had dropped Lawler yet. I mean, seriously, on PWO it took three pages to drop Lawler's name on this ? I'm shocked. And although I'm not as high on Lawler as a lot of people around here are, he's also the first name I thought about, really, and I think he could have been pretty terrific in the role. Really, instead of going places to meet challengers, Lawler drew almost everyone else to Memphis, so as the King of Memphis he was kinda the touring NWA champ in reverse, and excelled at it.
  22. El-P
    He even calls himself "the bad guy Hulk Hogan". So yeah, he was a gigantic douche, but he was always a gigantic douche anyway, but at least it was fitting his "darkside Hulk Hogan" character.
  23. El-P
    Amazing ! King Curtis live on Nitro ! With a giant iceberg in the arena ! The Yeti is coming ! At the end of the show the giant block of ice would explode and reveal… a mummy. At least Prince Kharis had those offensive James Mitchell promos leading to the unveiling.
  24. El-P
    Usual solid, serious, efficient Arn promo. The 4rsemen will be back. I wonder if back then anyone didn't see it coming.
  25. El-P
    Arn & Pillman bump like crazy for Flair then Sting, making it a hot moment. Sting is so damn gullible...
