Eddie Guerrero vs Sgt. Craig Pittman - WCW Nitro 10/30/95

Im really becoming a Pittman guy. He seems like one of those guys they forgotten to smarten up before he went out to the Ring. I love guys like that. He also kind of reminds me of Tom Howard. If you’re going to do a military gimmick this is the way to do it. Unfortunately I am reviewing this 48 hours after the fact because work got in the way bur I remember this heading uniting good territory before it got cut short with a lame ending. Pittman was tossing Eddie around to start. Imposing his will and manhandling Eddie. Eddie throws Pittman which gets a reaction out of Pittman that leads to a speed versus arm fight. Pittman attacks the arm and Eddie uses a leg lariat and a high springboard reverse crossbody. There’s an AWESOME gut wrench powerbomb from Pittman. Then all of a sudden Eddie just rolls up Pittman with the midsection version of a victory roll, Whats that called. I enjoyed their rough dynamic. Pittman is uncooperative and it gave it a competitive feel. ***
 

It was a strange Nitro coming off a pretty hot Halloween Havoc (three major heel turns) but they had this match then a random Shark vs Norton match (not a huge Tenta guy and always wanted to like Norton but it was decent 2 minute hoss fight that ends in a DCO. Shark threw around Norton a bit before Norton made his comeback, bodyslam of Tenta got a pop. ) before we finally get to Flair. Then Sabu/Disco (this would have gotten huge heat in Philadelphia and especially in ECW. Imagine Disco in the FBI oh my God. Disco is the Nitro clown and he has been used great. Sabu hauling off with those punches were great. They let Disco get a little offense but this is all Sabu in another 2-ish minute match. The slingshot somersault leg drop is sick. Sabu wants to put Disco through a table but ends up denting table in a sickening this. An enjoyable couple minutes) before we finally get to Luger. But when we do get to Luger it is a tag match with Meng against American Males. Which is kinda lame main event. Odd Nitro Layout.
