War Games 1992 storyline help

[kingliam]

Just seeking a bit of guidance for those who know this match and the TV leading up to it well.

 

According to Wikipedia, the formation of the Dangerous Alliance and their rivalry with Sting begins at the tail end of 1991. However, the War Games is in May 1992. Considering time constraints, what is a good jumping on point in terms of weekly television to get the build up to the War Games as effectively as possible?

 

If I had time, I'd be looking from the start of course, but I'm assuming (hoping?) that there might be a way of looking at it from closer than the 1991 footage.

Right after SuperBrawl would probably be the best time because the DA had established themselves by then and won all the big belts other than the world title. It's a couple months, but good lord is it a gold mine for great TV stuff.

I'd say maybe Feb. 92 should do it . Start at the weekend before Superbrawl should get you the key stuff except the Rude-Sting Dynamic.

Eh I don't know, you're missing a lot of good stuff if you don't start until February. How much time do you have? Don't watch entire episodes of the TV, or for god's sake the entirety of Starrcade 91, that will waste a lot of time. I would just go to the Yearbook listings and watch whatever segments with the key players made it onto those, starting from Clash 17.

That's actually a good idea.

I'd start with Havoc '91 and watch the Rude stuff there.

 

You want hit all the big shows (Starrcade is an exception) and watch all the relevant pieces of those.

 

For the first few months of the TV, you only really need to hit the big angles (like Paul E's formation promo, the attacks on Sting, etc.). There's a ton of good wrestling, but it's just WCW B-show stuff. You don't NEED to see Austin/Eaton v. Pillman/Zenk, even if it's good. Picking the TV up in more depth after Superbrawl is probably the right cut off.

I'm doing an article, so a couple of months probably. However, between having a job, doing my own stuff and yadda yadda yadda, there might not as much time as it sounds.

 

Thanks for the suggestions so far guys.

 

Which show would I need to be checking out primarily if I went back to 1991? Worldwide, Saturday Night or Main Event? I'm assuming Saturday Night, but tell me if I'm wrong.
