[1994-03-06-WCW-Main Event] Steve Austin vs Brian Pillman

[Loss]

Talk about it here.

[Loss]

Gotta love Tony Schiavone's rant about manager's licenses early on. Dustin seconds Pillman, which prompts Larry to question if he has a license to be there.

 

Tony says, "Who issues them? The federal government?" and makes me laugh.

 

Good match, but if you watch their Clash match back to back with this, there are probably more similarities than there should be four months later, but I think this is a tighter match, probably just because they had been working together so much.

 

This gets thrown out when Col. Parker runs in, and Dustin runs in to beat him up.

I don't get why Dustin threw Parker inside the ring. He could have just beat him up outside the ring if he felt like. Decision ends up being a no contest so didn't cost Pillman a loss but still was pretty dumb to me. Good match for what it was. Too bad Schiavone wasn't doing commentary when Jesse regarding the manager licenses as Jesse would have went off on him.

[Exposer]

I thought this was pretty good but the finish sucked. Austin was great bumping around the ring early on. These two should have had better matches.

Pretty good match with good Austin bumping again. Finish was fairly stupid and didn't help Pillman.

I thought this was a very disappointing rubber match after the first two bouts in their series. A lot of stall-o-rama in the early going, followed by restholds. This did get pretty gritty and nasty towards the end, before a cheapo finish. That said, this appears to be the start of the Dustin Rhodes-Col. Parker feud, something I'm greatly looking forward to.
