Randy Savage vs Meng - WCW Nitro 11/13/95

Oh The Hulkster! Nitro begins with him in the "Dungeon of Doom" in a black Phantom of the Opera mask and hood/cape. It is pretty incredible in less than a year he would be Hollywood Hogan and totally revitalized. As much as I have a soft spot for the Dungeon of Doom shit like this pre-tape is why everyone thinks this storyline is the shits. Macho Man is supposed to being finding out who is "friend or foe" but does a terrible job as we already knew Meng, Sullivan, Shark and Luger were foe. However, Hulkster did ask that Meng will be the first to fall so at least Macho Man finished one task on his to do list. 

Decent Babyface Savage match. At least Savage got a little bit of a babyface shine and showed some energy at the start. I liked the high knee to the back to the start. He kicks some Meng ass, but a Sullivan distraction goes a long way as Meng catches Savage coming off the top. Meng is a wrestler I want to like, but I find him very dry. This did nothing to change my mind. Pretty tepid heat segment.  Classic Savage formula as Meng missed the diving headbutt and the Big Elbow wins the match. 

Shark and Sullivan "break" Savage's arm and Luger follows up with more arm attack to set up the angle for World War III. Luger looked fucking killer. There was a Dungeon of Doom (Giant, Sullivan, Hart) promo later pretty standard stuff about killing Hulkamania and Giant being a shoe-in to win the Battle Royale and the World Title in process. Sullivan is pretty funny acting like the Hulkster have a seizure but cupping his ear. Average match nothing to see here.
