Loss Posted January 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2012 Not as good as the Nitro match, but still fun. Savage does the worst job of hiding a blade I have ever seen. The dead crowd finally comes alive for the finish in a big way, and I thought with Flair in that the chance of Flair ever winning the title again was gone, and especially by going over Sting, Luger and Savage in one night (albeit in a weak way). And finally, Benoit is SEEN with the other Horsemen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Evans Posted October 7, 2012 Report Share Posted October 7, 2012 Flair hits a gusher. Pillman continues to go after Savage after the match while the other horsemen basically ignore him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El-P Posted November 29, 2013 Report Share Posted November 29, 2013 The last classic Ric Flair title win, and by classic I don't mean great match but as far as booking goes. It's Flair the iron man going through WCW legends Luger & Sting in a very dirty way, then winning the title against WWF legend and classic foe Randy Savage thanks to the Horsemen, with the added bonus of the crimson mask. The crowd gives him a tremendous babyface reaction, like they had been waiting for this since Hogan came on board and ruined the company. A throwback Starrcade ending and a great moment. And yes, one of the most obvious bladejob ever by Savage. And Pillman really acted batshit insane here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BruiserBrody Posted May 20, 2014 Report Share Posted May 20, 2014 Flair's gusher was so late in the match and ultimately pointless. I figured Flair just wanted to look dramatic while winning the title. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteF3 Posted December 16, 2014 Report Share Posted December 16, 2014 Match is a little more focused than Nitro, with Flair focusing more on the arm. Still a dead crowd--did Sting's U.S. title loss to Sasaki have the crowd THAT hyped for the rematch? Clusterfucky finish involving Hart, the megaphone, and all three other Horsemen, but it ends with Arn clobbering Savage with brass knucks and throwing Flair on top for a 12th World title, and this is probably the most shocking Flair title win to this point. I liked how Flair got to the title match, but somehow the "bigness" of his win seems a little undermined. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyonthewall2983 Posted March 25, 2015 Report Share Posted March 25, 2015 Thought it was interesting they had Okerlund set up for an interview with Flair but I guess the blade job was so bad (looked more like ECW than classic Flair-blading) they cut it out.

Superstar Sleeze Posted 18 hours ago Report Share Posted 18 hours ago WCW World Heavyweight Champion Randy Savage vs Ric Flair - WCW Starrcade 95 This is why you should never let someone else blade for you. After the Megaphone shot, Savage futzes with something and then just pounces on Flair’s head and Flair comes up with a Five Alarm Bladejob. That was fucking crazy! Why didn’t Flair just do it himself? Short main event but both had already wrestled on the night. Not one of their classics but still an energetic affair. Savage is nursing an arm injury like he is DDP with his ribs in 1997. Still Savage is all gas, no brakes. Backslide right out the gate let’s you know he wants to win. These are some of the best Macho punches ever. Really awesome stinging jabs. Flair sells them so well. Flair catches Savage in the breadbasket as he is coming off the top. Flair heat segment on the outside is good shit. Heavy blows. Jimmy Hart is with Flair now who the fuck knows lol and he gets a lick in. Flair works the arm like a champ. Savage mounts his comeback with more great punches and a clothesline. The finish is classic 90s but it is a bit too chaotic to really land. As mentioned above the Megaphone gets involved with Savage wresting control of it and then blading Flair and nearly killing him. BIG ELBOW! Here Comes The Horsemen! Savage throws Pillman into Benoit. Double A clocks Savage with a loaded fist and Flair wins his title in anti-climatic. All for some chicanery late in a match but this felt anti-climatic. Flair is clearly fucked up and they cancel the interview so he can get help. Also Mr. Wonderful of all people in a neck brace had sauntered out mid-match because Horsemen had broke his neck. Orndorff getting a main event push in late 1995 is insane. I assume it just got dropped. It is Flair vs Savage everything is scrappy, close quartered fisticuffs and snug work. The finish and length leave something to be desired but it is still good. *** Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
