Loss Posted February 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2013 Flair hypes a cage match nowhere in particular against Sting where El Gigante will be the referee. TBS was hyping this same match at The Omni, and now the syndicated shows are hyping it, yet there's no date, no town, no method for seeing it. What a tragically inept promotion.

PeteF3 Posted March 8, 2013 Report Share Posted March 8, 2013 In fairness, that was how the Events Center was being run in the WWF after localized promos were done away with (for the most part). Mooney ran down the card, and the wrestlers cut generic green-screen promos on their opponent, which had to have saved untold amounts of time. That said, I'm guessing WCW's local show advertising wasn't even that smooth. I'm amused that Flair no longer even bothers using the Spanish name for the giant.

Kevin Ridge Posted March 29, 2013 Report Share Posted March 29, 2013 Flair compares Sting to Arsenio Hall about being confused who the World Heavyweight Champ is. I’m confused too. Was Sting a guest or something? Sting wants a steel cage match with Flair with a fair referee. The lack of date/venue of the promotion was not good.

soup23 Posted May 30, 2013 Report Share Posted May 30, 2013 I liked this promo and do wish one of these cage matches would surface. This felt more like some 80's big time Ric than most of his stuff since he lost the belt to Sting at GAB 90. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garretta Posted April 28, 2015 Report Share Posted April 28, 2015 If this came from syndicated Pro, why would they mention a venue or a specific city? That would be counterproductive, because the match would be coming to any number of cities around the country. There's enough incompetence that we can blame WCW for as it is; let's not start obsessing over other things just for the sake of trashing them. I'm guessing that the Stinger was Arsenio's guest at some point, and Arsenio referred to Sting as the champion. Knowing WCW, they picked on a rerun that had been taped while Sting was champion just for Flair to be able to make that point. (I know I just said not to trash WCW over every little thing, but I can actually see them being stupid enough to do something like this.) With Flair not choosing to use El Gigante to describe our friendly neighborhood Argentine giant, I wonder if some people got confused and thought that Andre was coming in to referee some WCW bouts. It certainly wouldn't surprise me, and I thought that was one of the reasons why they made sure to refer to him as "El Gigante" in the first place.
