Loss Posted December 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2012 Don't blink. The story here was that Luger was still injured and couldn't work a full match, but they wanted him to work the show. Sid surprisingly agreed to do the job. Luger is still way too over to fall down the card like this, although he doesn't feel the same that he did before the Flair series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteF3 Posted December 12, 2012 Report Share Posted December 12, 2012 Luger doesn't get a promo nor does he even bother to bring his U.S. belt to ringside. He does jump around pretty well for a guy with a bum knee. Horsemen sneak attack, clothesline, thank you, drive through. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soup23 Posted December 25, 2012 Report Share Posted December 25, 2012 Real bad booking. A lot of luster seems to be off of Lex and there is no reason for Sid to go down like this even in surprise fashion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shoe Posted January 5, 2013 Report Share Posted January 5, 2013 If Sid was going down so quick he should have stayed in the tux. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Ridge Posted January 25, 2013 Report Share Posted January 25, 2013 I’m right away disappointed that Sid is not wearing his tux to wrestle. Um, whaaat? Luger puts Sid away quickly with a clothesline. Ole, who was with Sid, never even left the ring. Just strange with Sid going down that easy.

Cox Posted December 24, 2013 Report Share Posted December 24, 2013 Isn't there somebody else they could have sacrificed to Luger here? I have to think that Sid was probably on the books to main event Havoc around this time. Wouldn't you want to keep him strong up until then?

garretta Posted January 18, 2015 Report Share Posted January 18, 2015 You'd think that it was Sid who was too hurt to work here, the way this was booked. If they knew Luger was still hurt and couldn't work a regular match, have Ole sign to wrestle him. Then the squash makes sense, and you could have Luger take a powder to avoid Sid and keep him strong for a proper title match at the Bash. Instead, he's done as a challenger for good and looks like an idiot to boot. Maybe there's something to the idea of Ole burying the Horsemen; he was well-known not to like being part of the group, and he couldn't stand Flair personally. From the way he talks sometimes, I wonder if he thought the Anderson family connection that was the foundation of the group was Crockett's (and later Turner's) way of marginalizing his team with Gene, which was the favorite part of his in-ring career. In other words, Arn and Flair were poor excuses for an Anderson and never should have been made "family". By the way, this was never announced as a title match, which would explain Luger leaving the belt in the locker room and makes the loss even worse for Sid; if he loses this convincingly when the belt's not on the line, how do you possibly build him up as a contender later? (I don't believe they even tried.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drew wardlaw Posted May 7, 2016 Report Share Posted May 7, 2016 Sid talks! I actually really liked this and and jumped up after the pin. if we couldn't get a full Luger match because of an injury I'll take this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GSR Posted January 5, 2017 Report Share Posted January 5, 2017 Before the match we get a taped Vicious promo in front of some black and white footage of horses running across the plains. Sid says that Lex Luger maybe the ‘Total Package’, but he’s a fuel injected, suicidal machine and Lex Luger is going to feel the wrath of Sid Vicious. Sid is finally out of that tuxedo and is accompanied to the ring by Ole Anderson. The Horsemen try to jump Lex at the bell but he gets the better of them. He starts beating on Ole and Sid comes to his rescue getting Luger off him. He goes over to speak to Ole, but when he turns around Lex nails him with a clothesline and scores the pin after just 23 seconds. This was mind blowing! I thought it was a waster the way that Sid’s debut with the Horsemen was spent cutting a promo on Robocop, but then having him job to Luger here in double quick time? My original guess (and the posts here confirm it) was that Lex was still recovering from his leg injury, but why did they have to beat Sid clean? If Luger couldn’t go long, just do a cheap DQ finish with Ole interfering. Yeah not great, but surely a whole lot better than what they actually did?

dawho5 Posted March 8, 2017 Report Share Posted March 8, 2017 I agree Luger is still over, but this helps absolutely...nobody. Just like the whole fiasco that set off the whole thing. Just like WrestleWar. So basically, WCW wants to make sure no wrestler benefits from a PPV scale event then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
