Randy Savage vs Lex Luger - WCW Nitro 10/2/95

I knew there was one really good Savage/Luger match in this timeframe and this is it! This is the match they should have had at Halloween Havoc or WWIII. The intensity was off the charts. The way they battled over the lock-up, the vertical suplex on the floor or the backslide. So much struggle. Both men wanted it. The chippiness with the slaps and shoves. Savage is always fired up but Luger was bringing it too. Luger’s Military Press in Savage was really impressive. The brawling on the outside both times was awesome. How they worked that vertical suplex into a reverse neck breaker was so good. The railing and post shots were great. Ref bump. Macho Man Elbow! No ref! Giant CHOKESLAM on Savage! I love that Luger doesn’t go for the pin but RACKS him to win.

If they got even more time, they had a classic in them but what we got was still very good. They continue the suspense of Luger & the Dungeon. Awesome opening match! *** 1/2
