[1991-10-27-WCW-Halloween Havoc] Barry Windham, Dustin Rhodes and The Enforcers

[Loss]

Talk about it here.

Bischoff is on shit duty, greeting people as they arrive in Chattanooga. Barry Windham gets attacked by the Enforcers as they come in. This attack always looked really good to me.

[WingedEagle]

Is this where they break his hand?

Is this where they break his hand?

Yes.

[WingedEagle]

Nice, always loved how they produced that. Looked so much better than similar angles, even if I fully recognize I may just appreciate it given when I saw it.

[BackToBionic]

I love that spot. Very nice!

Abdullah in a shirt and tie with his kendo stick. Fabulous. Diamond Studd and DDP follow, and when Barry Windham and Dustin Rhodes pull up and Windham extends his hand to Bischoff, the Enforcers run in and slam the door on it. Well-executed, except for Bischoff being an insincere ninny as he always is.

[Kevin Ridge]

All the wrestlers are blowing off Bischoff on interviews. This seemed like a weak piece until the Enforcers smash Windham’s hand in the car door! Ouch. Sucks that he got legit hurt especially with it being outside the ring.

[BackToBionic]

He was already hurt, he broke it in several places in a jobber match so they did this to cover it up. I think in the KC Timeline he said they gimmicked the door somehow with a 2x4 to make it look real. They later showed the jobber match because they're WCW and they do stupid shit like that and dubbed commentary like "Oh he's really messing up his injured hand"

[Kevin Ridge]

That's better then. It really looked legit so I give them all the credit for pulling it off.

"Not a lot to say from the Diamond Studd and Diamond Dallas Page". Not sure when I first started watching WCW but this is the first show I can remember as my family friend that got the PPV's taped this one for me. Attack looked really good.

[garretta]

This attack was right out of the Horsemen playbook. It's nice to know that this was actually done to cover up a real injury, because if it was just an angle you'd think that they'd have targeted Dustin instead.

 

Cactus and Abby are a strange choice for a "red carpet" style interview, but it was worth it to see Abby in a shirt and tie, complete with kendo stick.

 

Does anyone else think that DDP being the only one to shake Bischoff's hand (other than babyface Windham) was due to their real-life friendship more than anything else?

 

I appreciate your dislike for Bischoff, Pete, but how can you tell he's being an insincere ninny off of what little we saw of him here? He's no less sincere than anyone else who's ever done an interview like this, at least to me.

I thought the attack looked great. My immediate thought right afterwards was, "how many Barry Windham matches are they going to show in the next few weeks on TV?" So I guess that lets you know how much WCW has been impressing me in 1991.
