The whole Renegade is kinda fascinating, as this guy was basically asked to ape a shitty worker. For all weknow, maybe he had some potential, he sure was a better athlete than the Warrior, as showed by the way he jumps over the tope rope to the floor. And he's got a great looking top rope splash. Of course, the match sucks, Renegade is green as hell and no sells left and right. Arn doesn't exactly works his ass off here, who could blame him. Another major Hogan brainfart and a slap in the face of WCW fans. The Giant looks so young here. That was quite a find for WCW.

Schiavone's disgust with Renegade is absolutely palpable, to a degree that I'm not sure Tony approached even during the Russo Era(s), and this a solidly pro-Arn crowd. Arn guides Renegade through the most bare-bones basic match layout you'll ever see and despite being incompetent, Renegade manages to get through without fucking anything up too badly. Naturally this crowd still pops for the title change. That's Dayton for you. Everything wrong with Big Two wrestling in 1995 is summed up in one match.

 

Renegade was a better athlete and probably a better worker than Van Hammer. He was just given a gimmick that was death and a monster push he was nowhere close to ready for.
