Superstar Sleeze Posted May 9 Report Share Posted May 9 Lex Luger vs Meng - WCW Nitro 9/25/95 Meng is Dungeon 4 Life but no Taskmaster as he is in the back calming The Giant down. This is directly after Giant chokeslammed Luger and thus Luger is at a significant disadvantage. Shockingly Meng steamrolls him and wins. I was surprised how well-protected Meng was both at Bash at the Beach and Halloween Havoc. It seems like they wanted to push him but then the main event scene got too crowded so he got put in a tag team with Barbarian. Good heat segment work by Meng including a piledriver, suplex, killer gut wrench suplex which was a really nice cutoff of a Luger hope spot. Luger really for very little in the way of offense. Meng definitely had his nerve holds and what have you but it was an energetic performance. He missed a top rope dive which sent him crashing head first to the mat. Smart money would’ve been on Luger making his comeback here and cruising to victory especially with his high profile match against Macho Man next week but Meng cuts off again and dazes him long enough to hit the Golden Spike to win! Shocking upset! Between Giant Chokeslam and the Golden Spike, there was a lot of protection for Luger but I am still surprised given Luger’s super push and his big time match against Macho Man next week. Feels like they wanted to do more with Meng but they didn’t know what. Explains Halloween Havoc finish too Meng won here and presumably would’ve won at Havoc had it not been for Sullivan. A lot of investment in Meng I guess it was all to take the L to Hogan in a Nitro could’ve been more. Good match. *** Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
