Sting & Lex Luger vs Arn Anderson & Brian Pillman - WCW Nitro 11/27/95

Nitro Recap: First 2/3rds pretty skippable. DDP vs Badd was an angle. Whose side is Kimberly on? She threw the chain that DDP gave to her in the flowers to Badd who she came out with but we aren’t sure. Japanese women tag was a sloppy spot fest some good moves by the heels (Hokuto & Nakano), pretty much filled the spot that Luchadores would. Hugh Morris debuts for the Dungeon eats a loss to Hogan. He does a cool reverse clothesline off the buckles and his No Laughing Moonsault hits but triggers a Hulk Up to good amount of boos. Getting booed against a no name. 
 

Business picks up with the angle. Savage is the new World Champ. Hogan disputes this as the already eliminated Giant pulled him out by the bottom rope but the tape cuts out. Giants chokeslams Savage on the concrete in a cool angle. Hogan gets the better of the Giant with a steel chair. Good angle.

Main Event. Is Sting on the dark side? Bischoff is unsure. Has Luger secretly seen the light? Sullivan and Jimmy are unsure. Pretty classic Mid-Atlantic match with a better finish would be good. AA Spinebuster on Sting and Luger saves. Babyface shine is so fun. Stereo Press Slams. Luger kicking ass and outsmarting the heels. Horsemen bumping and stooging. Stinger Splash! Luger throws Pillman off the top rope and “accidentally” missiles him into Sting as he has the Scorpion Death lock on. Great spot that fits the story. Good heel heat segment. Luger has enough and saves Sting. In melee, Sting pins Pillman randomly. Flair attacks the faces but Hogan saves and beats Flair back. Sting stops Hogan from beating up. Luger. Really good booking. The match felt incomplete and anti-climatic if they gave this 15 they could have something special. Better booking than a match.
