Loss Posted May 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2011 I guess I don't have to say too much about this, do I? I'll just say Sid being unphased while Flair and Sting both audibly groaned when he fell is something that should be praised. Sid actually did an okay job of covering.

Dooley Posted May 25, 2011 Report Share Posted May 25, 2011 Yeah, Sid saved this segment on the mic. Add that to the list of sentences that have never been said before. Bulldog cracks me up during this. "Everybody's cooking! The Clash is cooking! Flair for the Gold is cooking! Sting's cooking!" ....I saw Emeril, he was cooking! My wife is in the kitchen, she's cooking! I turned on The Food Channel, they were cooking! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zenjo Posted October 13, 2012 Report Share Posted October 13, 2012 If he'd have just fallen over it wouldn't have been that memorable. What made it was when the Shockmasters blue jellyfish helmet came off and he had to put it back on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El-P Posted October 23, 2012 Report Share Posted October 23, 2012 This segment is famous for all the wrong reasons, but what I think we overlook is how bad this entire thing would have been anyway. I mean, you've got the Bulldog cutting one of his typical stupid promos (up there with the "I'm bizarre" line at the Royal Rumble), you have Harlem Heat showing up behind Sid without ever being introduced on TV before, and not being introduced on the segment either, and you are supposed to be excited about a fat guy with a glittery stormtrooper hat talking like the Black Scorpion being Sting and the Bulldog's partner at the up coming War Games match, which nobody even talked about before. WTF ? It was terrible anyway, easily one of the worst Flair for the Gold segment, and it says a lot. The fact the Shockmaster fucked up badly kinda make it better actually, and it saved WCW from having fucking Typhoon pushed to the main event scene by his brother in law. What were Ole and Dusty smoking ? And yeah, bless Sid for doing his best to cover up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolfman Posted April 26, 2013 Report Share Posted April 26, 2013 WWE cut out Jesse Ventura laughing. That was my favorite part! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karl Posted October 20, 2013 Report Share Posted October 20, 2013 I had forgotten all about this until just now....so painful in every single way. His falling over is not even the worst part. It's probably the most embarrassing thing I have ever seen in wrestling - worse then Robocop or the Gobbledy Gooker. What were they thinking....

Kevin Ridge Posted December 31, 2013 Report Share Posted December 31, 2013 I think about how non fans make fun of why wrestlers are shouting during their promos. You had some over the top yelling by Bulldog and Sid during this. Anyways, Sting and Bulldog have themselves a tag partner for War Games and introduce the Shockmaster. The crashing through the wall, falling over and losing the glitter stormtrooper helmet is hilarious. But what put it over the top for me was the really awkward and long pause as he got to his feet and waiting for Ole's voice over promo to kick in. Then you had very audible "Oh, Gosh" while all this was going on. Fun to look back at now but I can only imagine how I would feel if was watching this live at the time.

PeteF3 Posted January 18, 2014 Report Share Posted January 18, 2014 I'm surprised the voiceover intro didn't blurt the identity of the mystery guest off the bat. Like all Flair for the Gold segments, this is a total mess--even discounting the infamous debut of the Shockmaster. Everybody's screaming over top of each other, and it's all--in the immortal words of James Brown--"people talkin' loud and sayin' nothin'." Also get a load of everybody in the fucking room standing with their backs to the camera--except for Sting, who's naturally completely blocked out by Davey Boy. Shockmaster makes his grand entrance, and whatever was left of the segment completely dies. He cuts his promo and then we just awkwardly fade out with Sid screaming.

Loss Posted January 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2014 What an utter disaster of a wrestling promotion. Seriously. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajtroma Posted April 13, 2014 Report Share Posted April 13, 2014 If I recall correctly, Harlem Heat had been on TV prior to this (I want to say on Main Event) but they were relatively unknown. I chuckled at the time that a mere three days previous WCW was in Linton, Indiana at the un-air-conditioned National Guard Armory (Chris Benoit put Erik Watts over clean that night). Anyway, yeah, this was really bad. WCW, at the time, had this horrible habit of throwing us head first into programs that nobody knew were going on. Not one person on WCW had so much as mentioned Fall Brawl much less the War Games or that their would be a mystery partner to War Game with.

Karl Posted October 11, 2014 Report Share Posted October 11, 2014 I have been thinking about this....Im pretty sure that this is my cut off line for WCW...past this point I no longer have any interest. This is the straw that broke my back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soup23 Posted September 23, 2015 Report Share Posted September 23, 2015 Not much more you can say to this. Quite the wrestlecrap moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DR Ackermann Posted November 13, 2015 Report Share Posted November 13, 2015 All around trash segment. Bulldog always seems like a complete muscle head moron stereotype when he talks which is supposedly not far from the truth. Was he already doing crack cocaine with Neidhart at this point? I dont remember the timeline on that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garretta Posted October 26, 2016 Report Share Posted October 26, 2016 I don't have a hell of a lot more to add to what's already been said. How many different ways can you call stupidity stupidity? There wasn't a thing good about this in either conception or execution, and how Ole thought he could get away with using the Sonovox again when everyone who'd watched wrestling for longer than a month knew exactly what his voice sounded like, I can't even begin to say. I don't have a problem with Ottman being in a match like this, or even possibly getting a push against Vader had it come to that, but to use this gimmick to do it? I'd have rather seen them use the Tugboat gimmick in some form or other. Incidentally, I heard Bruce Prichard on a podcast the other day say that Ottman/Tugboat was going to be the original recipient of the Iraqi sympathizer gimmick that Vince ultimately gave to Slaughter. It seems that either way, Fred Ottman just wasn't meant to have a long wrestling career. Given the choice of what gimmick I would choose to kill my career between those two, however, the Shockmaster wins in a landslide. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zep81 Posted May 6, 2017 Report Share Posted May 6, 2017 "He fell flat on his fucking arse" I know Davey was unprofessional with that line being picked up on the mic, but I couldn't help but laugh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
