Loss Posted January 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2013 Last few minutes of what looks to be a pretty heated match. I want to check this out in full sometime. Dan Spivey attacks Luger after he makes the hot tag to Sting, but Sting is busy fighting off Doom and doesn't see what's going on. Sting is thrown over the top for a DQ. It's really cool how Doom worked with almost all of the top singles stars in the company on big shows -- Ric Flair, Arn Anderson, Barry Windham, Sting and Lex Luger. Their breakup is coming, which is unfortunate, as I saw no reason for the run to end. And it's really weird/cool hearing Dusty already in WCW when he started the same disc in the WWF.

shoe Posted February 1, 2013 Report Share Posted February 1, 2013 The finish looks pretty hot. Sting was looking great . The end is near for Doom who had a heck of a run. They seemed to give 100% and the end result was a string of really good matches . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soup23 Posted February 16, 2013 Report Share Posted February 16, 2013 Match looked pretty fun and I am amazed at how good Doom was from GAB 1990 on. They really delivered and felt like a top act. If they would have had time to develop, I see no reason they wouldnt be remembered more fondly than Harlem Heat. Dusty on commentary is one of those great yearbook moments where you change promotions in the span of 2 hours watching a disc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteF3 Posted February 19, 2013 Report Share Posted February 19, 2013 Dusty is home again. Big heat for the finish of this, as Sting is left alone against Doom when Dan Spivey puts a beatdown on Luger outside the ring, but a miscommunication spot by Doom eventually leads to a DQ. Copout finish but the strong run of Doom continues, and yeah, this pending break-up seems way premature. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BruiserBrody Posted February 19, 2013 Report Share Posted February 19, 2013 Sorry if I missed a thread explaining this, but why is some of this stuff clipped? Between youtube and other dealers, most of the this stuff is findable in full. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given my age when they came around, DOOM is remembered by me personally as a fearsome duo - by the time Harlem Heat came around I was a teenager and my markdom wasn't the same.

Kevin Ridge Posted March 8, 2013 Report Share Posted March 8, 2013 Check out who is announcing. That was a quick return back to WCW for Dusty. That was a cheap DQ finish as Sting really jumped over the top rope himself. Reed was ducking a flying attack. Slow motion replay makes it look worse.

JerryvonKramer Posted February 21, 2014 Report Share Posted February 21, 2014 Didn't Morton vs. Taylor make it for the yearbook? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loss Posted February 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2014 No. Probably should have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerryvonKramer Posted February 21, 2014 Report Share Posted February 21, 2014 On the subject of this show, any idea who the two guys pictured in lights on the walls might be? I could swear it looks like Arn Anderson and ... Ivan Koloff. Finding these pics distracting because I can't see any reason for it to be those two.

garretta Posted April 8, 2015 Report Share Posted April 8, 2015 I don't think we needed a ref bump, an outside-the-ring attack, and an over-the-top DQ in the space of a minute or two, but I guess Luger/Spivey at WrestleWar needed to be set up some way. It's amazing that Sting supposedly had no idea what was even going on outside. I can see not being able to fight off Doom in order to stop it, but he should have at least registered what was going on. There weren't really any permanent face teams for Doom to feud with other than the Steiners (which had already been done), so I can see why Dusty would want to break them up and get whatever money was left out of them as opponents rather than partners. Besides, I think Reed was close to leaving the business to be a full-time rodeo cowboy, so Simmons would have been left on his own soon enough. It's kind of a shame that Peanuthead got lost in the shuffle, though; he was a hell of a lot better than Slick as an African-American manager, and was probably one of the top three or four in the business overall (though that didn't mean a whole lot by '91, as managers were starting to slowly be phased out). It's a shame that Vince was so committed to Patterson as his chief booker, as I'd have liked to hear Dusty take the same roles in the WWF as he did here in WCW. Then again, with Vince refusing to call the action more and more as time went on, and Dusty never being noted for his insightful color, Superstars and SNME just might have become completely unlistenable had Dusty replaced Piper in the booth. Dusty worked better with straight play-by-play guys like JR and Tony, and the WWF didn't have any of those by then, since Gino was starting to slip (and much preferred working with his pal Heenan anyway).
