Loss Posted December 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2012 Last few minutes of Undertaker's most high-profile match in WCW. The action here is pretty solid. Great heat! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdw Posted December 11, 2012 Report Share Posted December 11, 2012 There are a lot on youtube, and probably popping up all the time as the WWE wipes them off. Anyway, he's one of the match in one piece: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ezCOTh6a2Jc Haven't watched it in ages, but recall it was pretty decent. Lex in 1990 through roughly the 5/91 match with the Steiners was pretty damn solid. He might actually have been pretty decent as the heel champ after the 91 Bash, but people were so annoyed by the Flair stuff that they didn't give him a fair shake. But maybe the matches with Simmons and Steiner aren't so bad in hindsight. We usually only think of Lex as being solid in 1989, but he might have had close to a three year run where he was decent against a wide variety of opponents.

shoe Posted December 11, 2012 Report Share Posted December 11, 2012 I thought Luger did have a good 3 year run. His heel work to me was his highlight. In 91 his character was done well, but again people wanted Flair. It also didn 't help that he was switched from face to heel abruptly, thus he had no real opponents set up for him except Sting. Windham same problem as Luger, quick turn. Simmons not ready, Rick Steiner not ready. Steamboat doesn't show up till late 91. We know they could have had a hot feud. The sting match came to late in the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteF3 Posted December 20, 2012 Report Share Posted December 20, 2012 Really strong, well-laid out finish with a crowd that's really into it. Luger has shown no signs of slowing down from his hot '89 and, as it turns out, the sudden face turn hasn't hurt him yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soup23 Posted January 3, 2013 Report Share Posted January 3, 2013 Finish was a lot better than I would have imagined and heat was good. I was impressed that Luger got Taker up in the rack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Ridge Posted February 1, 2013 Report Share Posted February 1, 2013 Last few minutes. Mean Mark hits a suplex but Luger pops right up. Lex gets the rack but the ref gets bumped. Looks like Mean Mark might pull this one out but Luger avoids the heart punch and wins with the clothesline. He’s put away both Sid and Mean Mark with that move.

garretta Posted February 1, 2015 Report Share Posted February 1, 2015 I knew that Lex won the match with the clothesline before I sat down to watch this, and I thought that he might be using the clothesline because he was afraid of putting the Rack on someone with his bad knee. But then he racked Taker pretty easily, so there went that idea. Still, you don't want monsters like Sid and Taker submitting, so the clothesline is a good way to beat them while still keeping them hot for the future. Just thinking out loud here, but the heart punch might have been a good finisher for Taker in the WWF. Call it the "casket sealer" or whatever cheesy death-inspired name you choose. But the tombstone appealed to Vince's puntastic sense of humor, so there you go. What's next for Luger? He's running out of otherwise unbooked monsters to tame. Windham, perhaps?

drew wardlaw Posted May 14, 2016 Report Share Posted May 14, 2016 I'll have to go back and watch the full match, because I don't remember it but this clip was good and adds to what is a really solid show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GSR Posted January 23, 2017 Report Share Posted January 23, 2017 Last three minutes of the match. Luger no sells a suplex and hits Mean Mark with three clotheslines before getting him up in the torture rack. Callous’ legs kick the referee in the face knocking him down, and Paul E. then jumps in the ring and nails Lex in the ribs with his phone. The two of them fall to the canvas whilst Heyman is doing his best to try and wake up the referee. Mean Mark crawls over to cover the champion but Lex kicks out at two. He backs him up against the ropes ready for heart punch, but when he comes charging at him Luger gets a foot up. He decks Paul E. (who’d climbed up on the apron), another clothesline to Callous and then makes the cover and a quick looking count sees him retain the title. Good action here and you can see the potential in Callous and his athleticism with the way he was bumping for Luger. Amazing how little charisma he has here compared to The Undertaker though.

dawho5 Posted March 12, 2017 Report Share Posted March 12, 2017 Better match than expected from Callous. Both get to look good and the crowd eats it up. Strange this is happening in WCW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
