    Picked up Zelda: Link to the Past, Sonic, Solomon's Key, Mario 64, Bomberman '93, Zelda NES, and Mario NES so far for the VC. Such a great addition to the system. Solomon's Key is IMPOSSIBLE.

    TV deaths that pissed you off or upset you

    When they axed Morph (Changeling, for you comic fans) on Ep. 2 of X-Men: The Animated Series. When Big Show dropped Angle off a platform and for a week everyone assumed they killed off Angle. Jackie Jr. on Sopranos.

    Shane's sell of the Big Boot could be the only one that rivals Michaels' from SummerSlam '05. We need Shane to bust out a standing shooting star as soon as the boot hits him. This also means we once again get MCMAHONAMANIA on SNME.

    Marvel's Civil War

    "Basically, Reed has determined through a mathematical model of human history that the only way to prevent the world from disaster is to curtail superhuman activities." That's hilarious. I can't wait for this whole mess to be ended and the new re-written ending to be exposed as what it is: forced crap that will be undone in 2 years. They'll fight. Someone big will "die", be "de-aged", or end up in a "life ending explosion". They'll grieve. A couple new books will debut. A couple books will be cancelled. Repeat.

    Cena eating Superkick after aged Michaels carries him to **** match > aged Michaels carrying aged Booker to pointless *** gimmick match Oh, well. Taker wins the Rumble, obviously. At least Booker T. wins a "Match of the Year" for PWI, since ANY Shawn Michaels match at Mania is an instant classic, according to PWI.

    The OAO Raw Thread for 22/01/07

    "Why is there only 1 match annouced for the last Raw before a major PPV?" Because there's Smackdown! before the Rumble, and Rumble will be a SD! dominated show, with Taker winning the Rumble and Batista/Kennedy being better than Cena/Umaga. Raw's just treading 'til they do a tournament to have someone face Cena, likely Shawn.

    All updated to "ECW is Marquis de Something..."
  19. The purpose of this is to post reviews of old episodes of WCW television, to point out things that older fans may have missed, or drop knowledge to newer fans about WCW's history. So if you have old episodes, review 'em and discuss! I write my reviews in Scott-Keith fashion, but I feel they're a pretty accurate assessment of the product, though I'm a much harsher critic than he is. __ WCW Monday Nitro (Live) - January 1, 1996 Live from Atlanta, GA Hosted by Eric Bischoff, Bobby Heenan, and Steve McMichael Arn Anderson Vs. "Macho Man" Randy Savage Anderson helped Ric Flair win the World Title from Savage at Starrcade. Slugfest to start, then Savage absolutely dominates Anderson outside of the ring. Bischoff congratulates college football teams for winning Bowl games, then calls the WWF's taped "Raw Bowl" which is running opposite of Nitro the "toilet bowl" and says The Smokin' Gunns won it. Some basic brawling back in the ring, with Savage then hitting a flying axehandle off the top for two. Bischoff, very cockily,claims WCW is "often imitated but never duplicated, hahahaha", as the others ignore him. Anderson targets Savage's injured arm. Out to the floor for a quick second, then Anderson continues to destroy Savage's injured arm. Bischoff claims 1995 was WCW's most successful year in history. Arn uses the ropes for leverage to further wear down Savage's arm. I feel like Savage wrestled the same match for like 6 months in 95-96: start hot, get arm destroyed, flying elbow, win. Clever spot sees Arn fake a punch, Savage duck, and Arn drill Savage with the DDT as the crowd erupts. Rope break saves Savage. Ref gets bumped, Arn pulls out a foreign object, but Savage clocks him, then punches Arn with the object as the ref wakes up and counts the three at 7:55. Pretty boring. * 1/2 for effort. Horsemen members Brian Pillman and Chris Benoit hit the ring and chase Savage away. Lord Steven Regal (with Geeves) Vs. Chris Benoit Matwork to start and then a headbutt battle! Regal gains the advantage with a cravate, as a faint "Horsemen!" chant starts. Regal with a nice counter, and palm strikes Benoit repeatedly on the mat and then in the corner. Benoit ducks a clothesline and drops Regal on his neck with a release German suplex. Regal with a butterfly suplex, and gets 3 two-counts before Benoit hits him with a clothesline. Electric chair drop by Benoit, but he misses the Swandive Headbutt from up top. Benoit counters a Regal tombstone piledriver into one of his own! Benoit with a slingshot plancha to the floor, but Regal moves and Benoit hits hard and knocks himself out. Regal scores the easy pinfall at 5:41. ** 1/2, could've used much more time, but what they had was quite good. Afterwards, Gene Okerlund has the Horsemen (minus Flair) in the ring for an interview. Brian Pillman viciously berates Benoit & Anderson for losing and spending too much time partying. Benoit says Regal got lucky. Anderson tells Pillman to stop picking unnecessary fights with Paul Orndorff and The Dungeon of Doom. Kevin Sullivan and The Zodiac run to the ring to attack but are pulled off by The Giant. The Super Assassins (with Col. Rob Parker) Vs. Sting & Lex Luger The masked Assassins are The Warlord & The Barbarian, wearing hideous black & yellow attire with yellow masks and a big yellow "S" on their chests. A split-screen shows Sgt. Craig Pittman interrupting the announcers, discussing his credentials, and asking Steve McMichael to manage him. McMichael declines his offer and says he doesn't need a manager. In the ring, Sting rather easily avoids the Assassin double-teams, with #1 (Barbarian) accidently clotheslining #2 (Warlord). #2 gets clotheslined to the floor, but Luger's arguing with the referee allows them to get an advantage on Sting. Sting gets trapped in a lengthy Canadian backbreaker submission hold. #2 uses a deadly headlock forever, keeping Sting fromm making the tag. The Assassins hit a sloppy suplex/top-rope clothesline combo on Sting as Luger continues to argue with the referee and cost his partner. Powerbomb by #1, who heads up top and jmisses a splash. Luger gets the hot tag FINALLY, and manhandles the big guys, finishing off one of them with the "Torture Rack" for the win as Sting applies the "Scorpion Deathlock" to the other at 5:48. Absolutely dreadful - heatless power moves and restholds. * Interview with The Giant and Jimmy Hart Hart says he'll go back and forth between managing Ric Flair and The Dungeon of Doom. The Giant says tonight is his night to destroy Hogan, who has a WCW World Title match later. WCW World Heavyweight Champion "Nature Boy" Ric Flair Vs. Hulk Hogan Hogan repeatedly shoulderblocks Flair off his feet. Flair tries to mat wrestle, and then comes back with chops and punches, but Hogan is not affected by them. Five rights from Hulk, but he runs into Flair's elbow and the "red & yellow crowd fully in support of Hogan" (so says Bischoff) lets out a huge "WHOOO!" Flair gets slammed off the top rope and clotheslined over the top to the floor. Flair gets pummeled on the floor, but then targets the knee of Hogan back inside the ring. Kneedrop on Hulk's left knee. Flair works on it some more then locks on the Figure Four Leglock. Hogan reverses the hold, but gets distracted by Jimmy Hart at ringside, who proclaims Flair as the greatest of all time. Flair goes back to the knee, but Hogan "Hulks Up" and Flair's in trouble. Hogan hits the Big Boot and Legdrop, but doesn't cover and instead decks Jimmy Hart. Arn Anderson sneaks into the ring and hits Hogan with a foreign object behind the referee's back, but Hogan gets up totally unaffected by it. Hogan decks Anderson and retrieves the foreign object from him, shows the referee, and Flair is disqualified at . Let me repeat. Hogan, who has been seeking a World Title shot forever, and who knows he can't win the title by disqualification, purposely got Flair disqualified at 7:52. OK. Next, in one of the worst WCW moments of all-time, Pillman and Benoit hit the ring and get decked. The Four Horsemen, all on their knees, beg Hogan to show mercy on them. The Giant hits the ring, wielding a wooden bar stool, but Savage intercepts it and Hogan fights him off. This was quite a bad Hogan/Flair match, the most basic and standard one I've seen, so we'll go * 1/2 for a whole lot of nothing. Postmatch, Hogan & Savage claim they want to tear Flair & The Giant apart. Should be easy, since they just handled 5 of them with ease. ____ WCW Monday Nitro (Live) - January 8, 1996 Live from Charleston, South Carolina Hosted by Eric Bischoff, Bobby Heenan, and Steve McMichael Chris Benoit (with Brian Pillman) Vs. Alex Wright Benoit attacks before Wright can take off his jacket. Benoit hits a snap suplex, elbow to the face, and bodyslam to quickly take control. Wright gets tossed to the floor where Pillman chokes him with a Horsemen shirt. Benoit keeps on Wright with chops, but Wright moonsaults off the top rope to evade a charging Benoit and hits him with a jumping kick to the face. Wright then hits a high cross body from the top rope and a slingshot sends Benoit over the top rope and to the floor! Wright slides and kicks Benoit into the guard rail, then connects with a cross body from the top rope to Benoit on the arena floor! Back inside, Wright gets a dropkick and bodyslam for 2. As Wright gets a Boston Crab locked on Benoit, Eric Bischoff announces that "Titanic Sports" (the WWF) is raising their Pay-Per-View prices, unlike WCW who will be delivering a free "Clash of the Champions" from Las Vegas in January. Wright wears down Benoit with the crab, then turns it into a STF submission. Suplex by Wright gets 2. Wright turns his attention to Brian Pillman, who tried to trip him, and delivers a slingshot plancha from the ring to the floor to take him out! Wright tries a splash, but Benoit gets the knees up. Wright counters Benoit's dragon suplex attempt, and Benoit counters Wright's German suplex attempt. Wright then counters Benoit's Northern lights suplex attempt, and Benoit counters Wright's attempt at a double-underhook suplex. Finally, benoit slugs Wright in the mouth and delivers the Dragon Suplex for the win at 6:39. Wright pretty much dominated this one, since Bischoff was trying to make people think he was a, quote, "new international star debuting here in WCW", despite Wright being in the company for quite some time. Still, some pretty good action here. ** 1/2 Lord Steven Regal (with Geeves) Vs. Eddie Guerrero Quick mat exchanges get this started, with Eddie out-quicking Regal, and Regal using his power to escape from Guerrero's holds. Bischoff says to forget about the WWF's "Royal Fumble". Regal keeps Eddie grounded and palms him to the face repeatedly. Knee to the stomach slows down Eddie. Eddie escapes a double-underhook suplex with a nifty armdrag, then headscissors Regal to the mat. A little sloppy on the "multiple nearfall counters" spot, and Regal thumbs Eddie in the eyes. Eddie fights back and gets a sloppy transition into a standing O'Connor roll for two. Kicks & European uppercuts continue to keep Eddie at bay. Eddie keeps trying, but Regal has a submission or palm strike for every attempt. Regal hits five brutal palm strikes and Eddie is done. Regal gloats, attempts a European uppercut, but its countered into a backslide for three and Eddie wins at 8:09. * 1/2, definately lacking for these two, and way too one-sided. Regal strikes him again and uppercuts Eddie to the floor. Gene Okerlund Interview with Lex Luger & Sting Okerlund takes a shot at two "social security collecting" new members of the WWF's "new generation". Luger doesn't want to air their business out on TV, but Sting wants answers about Luger stopping him from getting back in the ring at Starrcade. Oklerlund stirs up trouble between the two. Luger says he hurt his knee and simply grabbed Sting for help. Luger suggests they form an actual tag team together. "Diamond" Dallas Page Vs. Sting This would be a nice WCW Saturday Night squash in 1992. Page uses his cigar on Sting before the bell and works over Sting. Sting comes back and dropkicks Page to the floor. Sting with a plancha to the floor on Page. Sting tries to leapfrog Page, and barely gets over, so they play it as he crotched himself and Page takes over. Swinging neckbreaker by Page. Cue the chinlock. Page drops Sting throat-first across the top and hits him with a Russian legsweep. Bischoff acts surprised at Page's offensive attack being so strong. Sting escapes an attempted back suplex, catches Page by the leg, trips him, and locks on the Scorpion Deathlock for the submission win at 6:18. * 1/2. The theme of this show continues to be "The winner steals a victory after being dominated all match" and it's getting old. WCW World Heavyweight Champion "Nature Boy" Ric Flair & Arn Anderon Vs. Hulk Hogan & "Macho Man" Randy Savage Hogan and Flair start, with Hogan mat-wrestling Flair down, then no-selling a chop. Hogan hits Flair with the Big Boot, then drills Anderson & Flair with four clotheslines and they scamper to the floor. Anderson & Savage now go at it, with Savage running Arn's head into Hogan's boot, then delivering a flying axe-handle from the top to the floor. Hogan and the referee are tied up, allowing Flair & Anderson to get an advantage over Savage. Flair gets tossed off the top rope, but as Hogan and the referee jaw-jack again Anderson sneaks in and DDTs Savage. Anderson tosses Savage over the top rope behind the referee's back. We go to commercial. Back, and it's Arn with an abdominal stretch on Savage, using Flair to give him extra leverage. Flair then chops away at Savage. The Horsemen work over Savage forever, but Savage gets a few counters, blocking a punch and backsliding Flair, then countering the Figure Four into a small package for two. Hogan finally gets the tag. Backdrop on Flair. Clotheslines on Arn & Flair. Hogan clotheslines Arn & Flair over the top rope. Savage sends Anderson back in. Anderson reverses an Irish whip and hits the Spinebuster on Hogan! And Hogan no-sells it and "Hulks Up" as Arn celebrates. Punches, Big Boot, and Legdrop win it for Hogan over Arn at 12:19. * 1/2, quite boring. Benoit & Pillman hit the ring, but so do Kevin Sullivan & The Zodiac, and they start fighting each other outside the ring. The Giant hits the ring and chokeslams both Hogan and Savage. For the second straight week, The Zodiac yells at The Giant to stop, screaming "No! Friend!" as the show ends. ____ WCW Monday Nitro (Live) - January 15, 1996 Live from Miami, Florida Hosted by Eric Bischoff, Bobby Heenan, and Steve McMichael "The Total Package" Lex Luger Vs. "Macho Man" Randy Savage These two have been enemies since Luger's arrival in WCW back in September of '95. Luger pearl harbors him, and then tosses Savage over the top to the floor as the referee removes Luger's chair from the ring. Savage gets a World Title match next week regardless of the outcome here. Luger has Savage's number in big matches. Luger throws Savage into the steps. Savage recovers, pulls Luger to the floor, and does the same to him. Flying axehandle off the top gets Savage a two-count. Luger cowers in the corner but Savage stays on him. Luger gets a cheapshot and stays on the offensive. Savage fights back, drops Luger throat-first on the top rope, then comes goes up top for the Flying Elbow. He gets great height, but Luger moves. Luger puts Savage in the Torture Rack, and Savage's arm drops 3 times, giving Lex his 4th straight win over Savage at 5:11. This wasn't bad at all, I actually wish they had more time. ** for actually having some energy. Gene Okerlund Interview with The Four Horsemen and The Dungeon of Doom It's a business meeting, and Arn Anderson yells at Brian Pillman for not dressing appropriately. Also, the goal needs to be simple: protect Flair's World Title and stop having silly fights with the Dungeon. Kevin Sullivan puts over Flair's legacy and will let The Giant team with Ric Flair at Clash of the Champions. Sullivan respects Arn, but he has a big problem with Brian Pillman. Arn says the Horsemen respect the Dungeon, but don't fear them. Pillman then grabs the mic and begins screaming about the Horsemen not fearing anyone, which leads to Anderson slapping him and telling him to shut up. Benoit looks pissed at Arn. Sullivan reminds the Horsemen that Hulk Hogan is facing Meng tonight. Really good segment. The Public Enemy Vs. The American Males This is the WCW debut of The Public Enemy, Rocco Rock & Johnny Grunge. American Males have such laughably bad theme music. If only this could've taken place in an ECW ring back then. Double clotheslines from the Males send TPE to the floor. Some tame brawling on the floor, then back in, with Marcus Bagwell hitting a flying bodypress off the top onto Rock & Grunge. Double-dropkicks send TPE back to the floor. Not a great start for them. Riggs & Grunge start, with Riggs in control. Bagwell in, hits Grunge with a backdrop. Backdrop on Rocco. Dropkicks for both TPE members. Powerslam on Grunge. Rocco hits Bagwell as he is executing a super-sloppy O'Connor Roll. And after a delay, the punch to the head leads to Grunge rolling up Bagwell for three at 3:28. One of the worst debuts I have ever seen. 1/2* They got one offensive move in, an illegal punch, and got the win. Post-match, Public Enemy beats up Bagwell outside the ring. They stack up two of the thinnest wooden tables you'll ever see, then put Bagwell on top of the stack. Rocco Rock climbs up to the top rope and executes a somersault from the top rope to Bagwell, absolutely destroying both of them and sending them onto the floor! AWESOME visual there! So they looked horrible in the ring, but the last moment was pretty memorable. WCW World Heavyweight Champion "Nature Boy" Ric Flair (with Jimmy Hart) Vs. Sting Of course, Hogan squashing Meng gets to be the main event. Flair pulls the hair three times, and Sting kips up three times. Sting dominates early. 10 punches in the corner. Standing dropkick. Gorilla press slam. Flair flips over the ropes to the apron, and gets clotheslined. Flair rakes the eyes and hits some chops. Sting blocks a suplex, then puts Flair up top and hits a superplex! Big splash, but Flair gets the knees up. Commercial break. Sting escapes a back suplex attempt, and comes FLYING at Flair, who moves, sending Sting throat first across the top rope. Refreshing to see Flair in there with an energetic opponent. Sting gets tossed, and eventually fights back, but Flair hits the back suplex finally and both men are spent. Sting with right hands, but Flair avoids a dropkick. Sting counters a Figure Four attempt into a small package for two! Backslide gets Sting 2. Gorilla press, but Sting runs into Flair's elbow in the corner. None of Flair's offense will work now. Chops no-sold. Sting flexes. Crowd goes wild. Gorilla press on Flair. Jimmy Hart is on the ring apron, and Lex Luger comes to argue with him. Sting whips Flair into their corner. Luger steals Hart's megaphone and falls into the corner, where Sting, executing the Stinger Splash, goes head-first into it. Allegedly. Luger and Hart argue, with Luger yelling "He's my friend! You're not hitting him with that megaphone!" Sting is out cold. Flair puts on the figure-four and Sting, shoulders down, is pinned at 11:06. Fun match, bad ending. Gets *** from me, and Nitro's best match of '96 so far. Afterwards, Luger tries to pull Flair off Sting, but Hulk Hogan & Randy Savage run Luger away. Gene Okerlund enters the ring to interview them. Hogan says Luger cost Sting the match. Savage yells at Sting and tells him to "Wake up!" and get away from Luger. Sting acts clueness and says he needs to find Lex and find out for sure what happened. Hogan's also pissed that Savage gets a World Title shot and Hulk doesn't. They're on a roll, and Hulk says he should get the shot since Savage is hurt. Meng (with Kevin Sullivan) Vs. Hulk Hogan Meng works the back and send Hogan to the floor. Back in, Meng keeps chopping and forearming Hulk in the corner, as a "Hogan!" chant starts and ends rather quickly. Meng now chokes Hogan on the mat. Sullivan gets a cheapshot on his mortal enemy. Meng with a nerve hold on the neck. Hogan eventually fights back with some clotheslines, but Meng illegally uses his "golden spike" to hit Hogan in the throat. Hogan no-sells it during a pin attempt, and "Hulks Up", with the crowd not really caring. Big Boot, but Sullivan is on the ring apron. Randy Savage comes out to stop his interference, Hogan decks Sullivan, takes the "golden spike", and hits Meng in the chest with it to get the pin at 4:40. This gets a * because I'm feeling generous, although I don't know why the most heatless match on the show was the main event. ___ WCW Monday Nitro (Live) - January 22, 1996 Live from Caesar's Palace in Las Vegas, Nevada Hosted by Eric Bischoff, Bobby Heenan, and Steve McMichael "Mexican Heavyweight Champion" Konnan interrupts the announcers to declare that at the Clash of Champions, he'll defend his title against Psicosis and defeat him. "Macho Man" Randy Savage (with Woman, Debra McMichael, Linda Bolea, and other women) Vs. WCW World Heavyweight Champion "Nature Boy" Ric Flair (with Jimmy Hart) Savage brings a ton of women, usually Flair's deal, including his ex-manager Woman, to psyche him out. Flair tries to kiss Woman and gets slapped. Eric Bischoff announces Miss Elizabeth will be in Savage & Hogan's corner at Clash of the Champions. Savage attacks Flair on the outside and beats him up., but Flair sends the challenger into the guardrail. Back in, Savage gets a clothesline, but Flair eventually cheats and works him over in the corner with chops. Bischoff announces Kevin Greene and The reunited Road Warriors will be at the Clash. Savage gets thrown outside, where Jimmy Hart attacks. Savage gets sent into the guardrail and flips into the crowd. Slugfest ensues on the floor and Flair rakes the eyes. Savage backdrops the champion, and heads up top for a flying axehandle, but Flair moves and Savage lands on the guardrail. Commercial break. We're back, and in the ring, with Savage gaining momentum. Punches, and then 10 punches in the corner. Flair gets flipped to the floor. Flair low-blows Savage, and this match really doesn't have a flow. Savage gets a miracle backslide for two, but Flair goes after the knee. Flair locks on the Figure Four leglock and uses the ropes. Flair eventually has to release it, but keeps Savage grounded with chops. Flair up top, but he gets caught and thrown to the mat. Flying double-axehandle from Savage. And a second one. Jimmy Hart gets on the ring apron and distracts the referee as Arn Anderson comes to the ring with a foreign object. He accidently hits Flair, which referee Randy Anderson sees, but the match continues anyway. The bell rings, eroneously, but the referee never signalled for it. Hulk Hogan comes out and fights off Anderson, and Savage climbs up top, delivers the Flying Elbowdrop, and pins Flair to win his 2nd WCW World Heavyweight Championship at 8:03. By the way, the bell rang again right as Anderson was counting the third second, so whoever was on timekeeping duty really sucked that night. Match gets ** 1/2, if only for the return of Woman to WCW and some decent effort from Savage. Hogan comes in and celebrates with Savage like Hulk just won the lottery. Gene Okerlund enters the ring for an interview. Savage says cut the music, and Hulk needs to stop celebrating like he won the title. Hulk congratulates Savage and asks for a WCW Title shot. Savage says he doesn't make matches, but if Hulk becomes the #1 contender he'll give him a shot. Savage also says that he and Hulk need to have their match in Caesar's Palace. Ironically, it would end up being Hogan giving Savage a title shot in Caesar's Palace some 9 months later at Halloween Havoc...and boy, things sure were different in WCW. Dean Malenko Vs. Brian Pillman Malenko scores early with a hiptoss & dropkick, but Pillman rolls outside as Dean tries the Texas Cloverleaf. Pillman cheapshots Malenko, rubs his face in the mat, and psychotically yells at the camera. "I'm the Shooter...Because I've got a Full Metal Jacket!" Malenko comes back with a clothesline into the corner and a brainbuster. Pillman's an effective heel, because Malenko, a heel, had yet to really get over with the fans, yet they cheer him when pounding on Pillman, who was just quite unpredictable at this time. Neckbreaker gets 2 for Malenko. Pillman begs off in the corner, then gets in a shot and a Tornado DDT from the top. Now the crowd is really dead. Double-underhook powerbomb gets Dean 2, and a dropkick sends Pillman halfway over the ropes, then under them to the floor. Pillman looks sluggish. Malenko's baseball slides misses and he is sent into the guardrail. Back in, Malenko blocks a second Tornado DDT attempt. Overhead stomach breaker on Pillman. Malenko gets an anklelock submission on, but Brian's in the ropes. Pillman decks Malenko, who has his ankle tied up in the ropes. Pilman falls off the apron, then gets back in, blowing the whole finish, and covers Malenko as the "ref didn't see Malenko's ankle tied up", for the pin at 6:16. Crowd hurt the match, which was already hurt by the blown finish and sluggish Pillman effort. Call it * 1/2. WCW World Tag Team Champions Harlem Heat Vs. Sting & Lex Luger Stevie Ray and Luger start, with Ray pummeling him until Luger hits a big clothesline. Booker T. distracts Lex and Stevie hits a kick to the head. Lex evetually double-clotheslines the Heat and tags Sting in. 2 Stinger Splashes for Booker and Stevie, and Sting locks on the Scorpion Deathlock to Ray. Booker T. delivers the "jump axe kick", however, as the referee is tied up with Luger. Beautiful leaping sidekick by Booker. The announcers are all ga-ga about the return of The Road Warriors as Sting makes a comeback, but Booker slams his face to the mat. Stevie Ray applies his deadly "choke and chinlock" combo. And then a nerve hold. Booker in, another headlock wear-down, then he goes to the top. Sting moves out of the way of the Harlem Hangover. Luger gets the hot tag and Jimmy Hart is at ringside, but Lex's tag doesn't count. Sting brawls with Stevie at ringside, then Sting and Booker collide in the ring with a crossbody attempt from each. Luger gets the tag, comes in, and decks Booker with a roll of silver dollars given to him by Hart. He gets the pin and the titles at 9:33. *, this was really boring. Luger picks Sting up to celebrate the victory, and clueless Sting celebrates with the cheater. WCW U.S. Champion The One Man Gang Vs. Hulk Hogan Yes, you read that right. This is non-title of course. Hogan's too good for that title, but that doesn't stop him from burying the champion. Did I just stick up for the Gang? What a main event! Gang avoids the Big Boot early. Hogan throws Gang into the steps. Hogan bites the Gang. Gang comes back, delivers the Big Splash. Hogan no-sells it. Clothesline in the corner from Hogan. Big Boot. Bodyslam. Legdrop gets the pin for Hulk at 2:59. DUD. Awfully insulting. Post-match, Hogan & Savage beat up The Four Horsemen and The Dungeon of Doom. The two factions retreat. Zodiac tries to hold Giant back again. Pillman is being a trouble-maker and egging on The Giant. Giant threatens Hulk & Savage, and Anderson yells at Pillman for causing trouble again. Gene Okerlund interviews Hogan & Savage, who promise to do bad things to Flair & Giant at Clash of the Champions.

    He wore a black singlet, black knee pads, and black boots. But the trim, "dollar signs" (on the sides of singlet and boots), and then this huge corny gold dollar sign on the back of the singlet. It looked SO indy and ugly.
