[1993-10-09-WCW-Saturday NIght] Arn Anderson vs Lord Steven Regal

[squidlad]

A tight, no nonsense match from two venerable upper-midcard bruisers. I particularly liked Arn's comeback spot which was just a series of stomps to Regal's mid section. He worked the exact same way he did when he was a bag guy but got cheered for it. There was unbelievable sustained heat from the Center Stage crowd who threw the preverbial babies in the air when Arn hit the spinebuster.

They came just a few seconds shy of a perfectly timed finish. After hitting the spinebuster, Arn had to lie still without making the cover to allow the seven seconds left on the clock to drain away. The referee danced about the two men in a frankly silly manner before counting two and calling for the time limit draw. They just didn't quite nail the TLD and made it look a bit obvious. *** 3/4
