Lex Luger & Meng vs American Males - WCW Nitro 10/30/95

Doesn’t feel like a main event but they wanted to do the Halloween Havoc footage and the Dungeon promo to close the show. The juxtaposition of Luger teaming with Sting last week in the main event against Harlem Heat is cool with his teaming against Dungeon 4 Life buddy Meng against American Males. Meng had a grueling contest with Luger the previous night and seemed kind of pissed when Sullivan didnt let him get the win over Luger especially after Meng got the upset over Luger about a month ago on Luger after Giant choke slammed him before the match. I wish they played up some friction here with Luger and Meng. Honestly I wish this was Luger and Giant but that would have been too squashy for a main event.

Pretty typical condensed TV time tag match. American Males work like an 80s blowjob babyface tag attacking the Package’s arm with frequent tags. The Dungeon uses a Hart Attack to take control. Meng steam rolls Riggs. Bagwell is a house afire. He looks Ring compared to Luger here. When they were doing Buff vs Luger I feel like they were the same size. Meng gets a cheap shot and Luger racks him up.

They show the entirety of Halloween Havoc ending from Jimmy Hart and Lex Luger turn to Yet-TAY humping Hogan. 
 

Only the core four of the Dungeon is out to talk Giant, Luger, Sullivan and Jimmy Hart. Meng got sent to the back and no Yeti. If it was just these four and I’d even take Meng I would say this is a kickass heel stable. Jimmy Hart with a nice nod to history that he was Sullivan’s only manager. Sullivan is so good at this Satanist, Hulkamania hating camp. Giant is green but he gets his point across. They don’t mention the whole Jimmy Hart snuck in a clause where if Giant wins by DQ he wins the title. It is weird. Why wouldn’t Bischoff be decrying Giant as a fake champion because he won the match by DQ? Giant said he was going to keep but that implies someone would try to take it away because of the DQ but no one was saying that. A weird beat to miss, After 6 weeks, WCW’s rogue gallery is rejuvenated with Dungeon at their apex and Horsemen reunited. Also no Hogan, Savage or Sting on the show. A very dark pall has been cast on the Land Where The Big Boys Play.
