Loss Posted December 26, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 26, 2010 Short match, kinda Russo-ish in booking, but still really fun, with a really good build to Savage decking Flair, getting a huge pop for doing so. The Flair/Savage feud was going well, but dropping the title to The Giant and the NWO coming in kinda killed it in its tracks before they could pay off the feud.

El-P Posted January 29, 2014 Report Share Posted January 29, 2014 Yeah, Savage vs Flair was really getting super hot at this point, with Savage totally on the edge and Flair trolling him to no end. Fun match with some cool dynamics between the partners/opponent. It's obvious Eddie was getting over already too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteF3 Posted February 1, 2015 Report Share Posted February 1, 2015 Eddie should stick out like a sore thumb here but he acquits himself nicely with some fun stuff. Arn DDT's Eddie, thus solidfying himself as a walk-behinder 4 life, giving Flair and Savage the win. Then an awesome post-match beatdown, complete with Liz slapping Savage and Arn dropping him with a DDT on the floor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyonthewall2983 Posted February 13, 2015 Report Share Posted February 13, 2015 So weird to see Ric running to the ring during his entrance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soup23 Posted March 23, 2015 Report Share Posted March 23, 2015 This felt like the continuation of the Abby/Sting partnership from Starrcade 91. I never think these matches are good from a quality standpoint but they do provide fun storyline vehicles. The post match here was the highlight with Liz slapping Macho and Arn giving a nasty DDT on the floor. *1/2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMJ Posted June 26, 2015 Report Share Posted June 26, 2015 Just saw this for the first time as I'm watching Slamboree 96'. The poster above gave it 1.5 stars and I can totally see that when looking at this match out of context, but as someone watching the show from beginning-to-end, I'd notch it up to an 3-stars compared to the other Battlebowl matches (which are all really short and save for a move here or a move there or a short segment [for example, the Steiners facing eachother], mostly atrocious). This match, though, is interesting and engaging from even before the bell rings as Flair refuses to come out until Savage has already made his entrance (and been jumped by Double A). From there, the match just never slows down, contradicts itself, or betrays the blood feud that Savage and Flair were having at the time. So many little things executed properly and so few things to criticize aside from the match being very short (which makes total sense). When I rate matches, I tend to think anything 3.5-or-higher is something worth revisiting and while I won't put this match up at that level, it is, by a wide margin, the best thing on the show up to that point.

tim Posted October 29, 2017 Report Share Posted October 29, 2017 Fun segment. Cool to see Eddy working exchanges with Flair. Flair/Savage continues to be a very good program. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
