Loss Posted September 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2014 Holy star-studded main event. They were going against Austin/Rock vs Undertaker/Kane on the other channel and couldn't compete with that. So much star power in wrestling at this time. I know Sting was going through personal problems at this point, so I'm not sure if it's just that the distraction was therapeutic, but Sting has looked really good since September. Warrior wrestles in jeans and his ring jacket for some reason. I guess he wasn't expecting to do a match when he arrived at the building. The NWO run in as soon as Warrior gets the hot tag. It was time to put some heat on Hogan in this feud, so I would have had no problem with that being how the segment played out. The mysterious cloud pops up and special effects have gone wrong. Sting ends up making the save with his baseball bat. Sting is hotter than he's been all year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soup23 Posted October 26, 2014 Report Share Posted October 26, 2014 Huge main event on both channels. Warrior couldn't be bothered to take his jacket off. Bret has to stand around like a goof off of the hot tag. I loved the cloud of smoke malfunctioning after the NWO run in and you could hear everyone doing a collective oh shit. A lot of star power but pretty much inconsequential stuff and where is the build to DDP and Goldberg? (*3/4) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grimmas Posted October 12, 2015 Report Share Posted October 12, 2015 I have heard about this, but never saw it. Wrestling 365! They probably should had ran this on PPV with different booking of course. This would had been a bigger draw than that debacle at Fall Brawl. I understand Bischoff cared more about ratings than buyrates as a TV company ran them, but this is free money given away. This turned into a pretty decent southern tag. Sting had a good shine, the heels double team, do a blind switch and cheat on a pretty good FIP sequence by Sting. I'm surprised Hogan & Bret were as good as a heel team as they were. The hot tag to Warrior was hot, as he was always good at that. Clothesline after clothesline. Warrior looks to finish off Bret, Hogan smacks from behind then we get the nWo run in to ruin everything. As the nWo beats down Sting & Warrior the whole ring fills with smoke and Warrior is thrown to the floor. Apparantly the nWo was stopping Warrior from disappearing by throwing him to the floor? Sting makes comeback with the bat and Warrior-Hogan brawl outside as the nWo runs away. This was actually a pretty decent match and not a horrible way to build to Warrior-Hogan. I'm surprised.

PeteF3 Posted September 14, 2016 Report Share Posted September 14, 2016 Buffer speaks of the Warrior/Sting team as being "for the first time in professional wrestling history," even though Warrior made vague reference to their past earlier, and then Tenay makes a more explicit reference after the intros. Oh, that WCW quality control. The match is pretty hot as Warrior is wisely kept from doing anything more than the bare minimum. Predictable finish but you knew you were in for gaga to start with, I guess. Sting makes his own save with two baseball bats as the Wolfpack is rendered even more superfluous. I wonder if this is the only time Warrior ever wrestled Bret? In an alternate universe that match was scheduled to main event the '93 Royal Rumble.
