    All the legend segments really made this show drag and drag. Especially with all the fuck ups and disapointments already on the card.

    The whole Dos Hombres gimmick really kills the heat until Austin decides he'll kill himself bumping off the cage. Hot finish, although with a major screw-up, and Zenk just is no Douglas and it shows.

    Benoit vs Scorpio again, something we could have seen a ton of in 1996 if WWF hadn't wasted Scorp. I love the idea of Bagwell trying to dance next to Scorpio, he looks like a dork. Really good match, Eaton & Benoit could ahve worked well if Benoit didn't go back to NJ.

    Seriously, whose idea was that ? Who thought for one minute it could work ? As babyfaces nonetheless, when Roma is a natural heel. They couldn't find anyone on the roster or someone with a history in the company instead of a WWF branded JTTS ? Never saw that before today either, and man, it sure made Flair look like an idiot. I would say poor Roma, but he was an asshole anyway, so fuck him.

    Why the japanese theme ? They don't plant any seed for Flair vs Rude in the future, but hey, Rude and Arn were friends in the Dangerous Alliance after all, and Rude has no issue with Flair, so why not. Fifi doesn't speak this time.
  6. El-P
    Well, Cornette is still a great bumper.
  7. El-P
    Pretty much the best I've seen Brian Lee look. He's still a pretty bad worker though, but Eaton can do wonders. Eaton is out of SMW and back to JTTS in WCW.

    Indeed. God awful production values. The piped crowd noise is unbearable and makes the thing even worse. At least nWo Nighcap was in front of the audience. As far as Austin and Pillman goes, they looked like the future here. WCW is gonna work that passing of teh torch angle and in a matter of a few years, Austin will be WCW champion and the new big star of the company. Or not.

    This match in full is actually really good, and Rude looks perfectly fine in it. The botched spot is more because of Dustin to me, who was coming off a shoulder surgery. I don't like that finish at all. The US title was stripped from Rude after he held it for a year, then DUstin got it after a tournament, and in the blow-off match between the two we get this and a title held up again ? (I saw the Power Hour version of this, and the announcing team of Blakjack Mulligan and Bischoff is rotten. At one point Mulligan refered to Shane Douglas as Shawn Michaels !)
  10. El-P
    Good angle. Rude bashing Dusty was a nice touch, and Dustin is intense here. Way to build the long awaited match between the two.

    The Avenger is of course Candido under a hood, before he debuted under his name.

    Nice way to get Tammy some TV time before she really get into serious stuff. It's kinda bizarre to see her so young and natural and fresh these days though.

    Love Sullivan in SMW. I'm repeating myself. The beauty of it is that is totally horror flick from the 70's like Loss said, yet he makes a point to hit everything there's to know about the upcoming cage match. Watch and learn how to do a promo people.
  14. El-P
    Money promo by Cornette and Bullet Bob. Holly shit, wrestling seems so simple and efficient with these two around. Must-see segment.
  15. El-P
    I fucking love Sullivan's promos in SMW. Insane and funny as hell. Dutch is great as always playing the straight and slighty threatened guy to Sullivan's maniac character.
  16. El-P
    Yep, really good TV match. Scorpio is the biggest missed opportunity by the big two of the decade, seriously, he blows away guys like Malenko or Booker who got a rep for being featured during the MNW era. Bagwell has developped into a decent blowjob (straight or gay, I couldn't say) tag-team babyface, and the Blonds really got out of their shell teaming together. Amazing how Austin has improved in two years. The towel strangulation shot is brutal.
  17. El-P
    Arn is decent there, but yeah, Flair is goofy as all hell here, and really, after not being his old self for most of his WWF stint, this kind of stuff does him no favour. So bad it's good stuff. In a way, this was really nWo Nightcap a few years before the fact (and I like Liz better than Fifi).
  18. El-P
    The production is hilariously bad. Bad directing, people talking over each others in a messy (as opposed to organic) way. Oh man, I never knew Fifi actually spoke French ! Awesome ! Anyway, Vader is really good here though, he makes the whole segment valuable. I'm waiting for him to smack Flair like he would a journalist from Koweit...
  19. El-P
    I don't know if he was a great promo, but Blackjack Mulligan sure was unbearable doing color leading to Slamboree 93. Mulligan/Bischoff = horrible combo.
  20. El-P
    I had no idea the Blackharts worked in WCW for a while. It's a shame these guy were never pushed, they had a cool little gimmick and look, and could work pretty well. Actually I think I just witnessed the first ever pedigree, or at least some form of it. No idea if that's Gangrel or his partner who did it though.
  21. El-P
    Completely random ? I wouldn't say that. PN News was feuding with Austin at the time over the TV title, and Eaton & Taylor were orbiting around this title too. The Southern Boys were feuding with the Freebirds for quite a while if I remember right (or was it still the beginning of their long feud ?). Ricky Morton vs Roberts Gibson was the logical follow-up tp Morton turning his back on the fans and joigning the York Foundation while Gibson was injured. Nikita Koloff vs Sting had been built well on TV too. Now, there were random, useless match up and down the card, but I'd say 2/3 of the card made sense. The card was still a disater though with nearly no good match, and the infamous Flair debacle. WCW really crumbled after Flair left and things really got interesting again only once Rude showed up at Havoc and the Dangerous Alliance was formed. 1991 is an odd year anyway, as the world title picture really is mostly fucked up all year long by terrible booking : Flair vs Gigante ? Flair vs Fujinami, who no one knew in the US ? Then Luger winning the belt in the worst case scenario with the most anticlimatic heel turn ever against a former heel working face for no reason; the first Ron Simmons push to main event (actually worked better that the second time to me). The main things I liked that year were the York Foundation and Steve Austin in the mid-card.

    Really odd to see a 19 year old, adorable looking Tammy Fytch in the lights of the latest events. What a dark path this girl took.
  23. El-P
    Getting even sadder, which didn't seem possible. John This sounds really bad. The depressing thing is that you can follow the downward spiral just watching the shoot interview she did over the years. A few years ago, she was talking about that great man she was dating. Few years later she said he was an asshole, was abusing and hitting her, was the reason she got hard into alcohol. She was then going into rehab (a few montsh ago I believe), was dating a younger guy, who happens to be the wrestler mentionned in the article, get clean and try to have a family when she would get out. Apparently things didn't quite work out this way. Totally depressing, as she looked quite okay a few years ago when she was inducted into the HoF. This girl needs help big time.
  24. El-P
    Yeah, Flair dating Fifi seems so nice and romantic now. It gets better and better. Too bad Russo isn't booking TNA anymore. Just picture the great angles he could get from this real situations;) (that Bubba guy seems to be a complete dipshit)
  25. El-P
    The clip is pretty funny. I love how he claims it was no big deal since they were swingers. Well, the guy wasn't exactly in the room with them on that tape.... Anyway, now we know the *real* power of Hulkamania.
