-Pre-Show Match:

Brian Armstrong Vs. Booker T (w/ Stevie Ray):

This was suppose to be Brian & Brad (A.K.A Arachniman, Candyman, Badstreet) Armstrong Vs. Both members of Harlem Heat, but Brad got under the weather. Lock up to start and both men break clean(!). Booker screams a LOT when executing an armbar. Brian reverses with a armbar of his own and breaks. Brian is former WWF star Road Dogg. Booker T grabs a hammerlock but Armstrong reverses with a wristlock, and T goes to the outside for a break. Booker man with several knee lifts and unloads some heavy rights. Shoulderblock puts B.A. down but he gets up with a backdrop and diving forearm for a 1 count. Booker with shoulder thrusts to the midsection in the corner and more punching. Armstrong with a crossbody block off the ropes for 2, then connects with an armdrag into a armbar. Crowd goes nuts for Ali as he takes his seat in the front row. Booker gets slammed for 2. Stevie Ray trips B.A. from the outside and Booker drops a leg across the back of the head. Snapmare and chinlock follow. Slam by T but he misses a 2nd rope leg drop. Brian Armstrong with some hard rights and a slam, followed by goofy headbutts. He misses a funky top rope splash as Heenan says his hair is too tight (dreads btw). Booker T scores a diving forearm and thats enough for the win at 6:25. *1/2. Good enough for a dark match.

-Opening Match: WCW Television Championship Match:

Johnny B. Badd © Vs. Honky Tonk Man:

Honky is from Honkyland, U.S.A, possibly the funniest hometown ever.....next to Zodiac, Shark, Kevin Sullivan & Arachniman. Badd is almost gay free, but he's got a double shot of the badd blaster for us. HTM is dressed like Jerry Lawler oddly, with the one shoulder strap. Stalling to start obviously. BTW, its 10 minute time limit for this title at this PPV. Honky hammers the left arm of Badd until Johnny takes over with an armbar. HTM with some more rights until he misses and Badd scores an Atomic Drop and he messes up Honky's hair. More stalling. More mention of Sting on the Superstar Line. Knee by HTM and he sends Johnny to the buckle. Snapmare and fistdrop by HTM. Badd scores some rights but walks into a back elbow. Axhandle to the mid-section of Badd followed by another chinlock. Heenan does a good Flair impersonation. More choking by Honky Tonk. Badd with a rollup for 2. HTM repeats the snapmare & chinlock combo. 5 minutes remaining in the time limit! guess the result now. Badd drops Honky but misses an elbow and Honky covers for 2. Chinlock city, USA tonight. Elbows to the midsection of Honky by Badd to no avail. HTM goes for the shake, rattle & roll but JBB backdrops him out of it. More punching. Badd misses a corner charge and HTM gets a 2 count. Badd is sent to the floor and less then 3 minutes remain. Snapmare & chinlock by you know who. Badd with more elbows and HTM with a knee lift. Boots by Badd and Honky eats buckle. 10 punches of doom! make that 5! Jabbing by the badd-man. Back elbow scores, but the Kiss that don't miss misses so you can't call it that no more. HTM with a backsuplex and choking. Badd chokes him back. Time Limit expires just as Badd cradles HTM at 10:00. 1/4* Badd beats HTM up after the bell. Blah.

Stars & Stripes © Vs. Pretty Wonderful

The Story. S&S won the tag belts last month at Fall Brawl in a upset, so PW are getting their rematch. Stars & Stripes are Marcus Alexander (not so Buff) Bagwell & The Patriot (del Wilks). Pretty Wonderful is Paul Roma & Paul Orndorff. Patriot & Orndorff start off. Tieup and a (kind of) clean break. Double leg takedown by Mr. Wonderful as Bobby says The Patriot is former Vice President of the U.S.A Al Gore. Pier-six brawl errupts and S&S send Pretty Wonderful packing. Patriot drops a double axhandle to Paul Orndorff and they champs put Orndorff to the canvas. Roma tags in and he walks into a Patriot armbar. Bagwell in and he grabs an armbar too. Roma slams Bagwell and drops a top rope elbow. USA Chant in a match with ALL americans. UGH. Bagwell with a crossbody for 2 and follows with an armbar. Patriot tags in and they hit a double hip toss. Patriot with a armbar too. Bagwell with a top rope sunset flip for 2. Roma hammers away and Orndorff tags in, walking into an armbar. Bagwell with a slam and clothesline on Paul O.

Patriot and Bagwell share some armbars. Roma taks control again and Orndorff stomps away and drops a funky elbow. Roma says wind-it-up paul for no reason I don't think. Roma in with a bionic elbow from the top rope. Backbreaker gets 2. Dropkick goes WAY to high and Bagwell still sells it. He scores a crossbody for 2. Orndorff in with a elbow to the GROIN and a headlock. Roma puts down Bagwell with knees. Bagwell reverses a suplex for 2. Backslide to Orndorff gets 2 also. Boot by Marcus and a sleeperhold.

-Sullivan Brothers Feud Recap. Dave turned face thanks to Hulk, who gave him the magic slippers from WM III, so Kevin beats him up for it at the 10-9 Main Event.

 

-Dave Sullivan Vs. Kevin Sullivan:

Wow, WCW steals Brother vs. Brother idea from WWF, only they aren't even real brothers. Dave has the worst theme music ever, besides the Plumber in the WWF in 1996. "I wanna be a Hulkamaniac" is so annoying. Dave does a VERY bad Hogan imitation. Dave with a back elbow sending Kevin out, and chase follows. A chase, not Chevy Chase. Kevin steps on him a lot and slaps him around. More boots and a Clothesline. yawn. Dropkick by Kevin. Dave with a elbow and buckles Kevin 10 times. Clothesline & Backdrop follows. Kevin sends Dave outside and steps on him a lot. PREPARE TO FAST FORWARD! Kevin sends Dave to the buckle and snapmares him and rakes his eyes. Heenan tells KS to shove the bandana down Daves throat and he does. Several Gut Stomps by Kevin. Hogan imitation this time by Hogan. Thats a cheap joke now. Dave slams Kevin off the top rope and strangles him with the doorag. Big Boot! Kevin sucke rpunches Dave and they brawl on the floor. Dave gets posted, but he rolls abck in on the moment for the cheap count out win at 5:15. DUD.

 

-Recap of Dustin Rhodes & Arn Anderson feud. Dustin begged Arn to be his partner against Terry Funk & Bunkhouse Buck at BATB 94 and Arn turns on him, breaking his arm in the process.

 

-"The Natural" Dustin Rhodes Vs. Arn Anderson (w/ Col. Parker & Meng):

History is made. Arn breaks both Rhodes arms in his career. Double A broke big Dusty's arm in both 1985 & 1988 and now his son's. Dustin's theme song sucks. Thank god he became Goldust by this time next year. Lockup and clean break again tonight. Wow. Arn with a side headlock and fireman's carry, but Dustin reverses with a head scissors. Clean break. Arn with another headlock and armbar, but Dustin snapmares out of it. Arn with a sucker punch and Dustin socks him back. Atomic Drop by the NAtural and a clothesline to the back of the head. Arn crotchs him on the top rope and hammers away. Dustin blocks a superplex and comes dow with a clothesline from the 2nd rope for 2. Arn with a forearm followed by an elbow drop and knee drops to the left theigh. Arn gets dumped outside and Dustin with some heavy chops. Arn gets a knee lift, but misses a punch and clotheslines the steel post instead. Dustin hammers the injured arm and covers for 2. Rake to the eyes by Dustin with his boots followed by an armbar and Leg Drop. Dustin goes back to working the arm again. Inverted aAtomic drop but Dustin charge misses and he CLEARS the top rope and ring steps, and lands about 3 or 4 feet up the aisle. now THATS a bump. I thought that woulda been a DQ (going over the top rope) but I guess it was because of Dustin's offense. Arn works Dustin's injured arm now and drops several forearms for 2. Arn with a knuckle lock and stun guns Dustin via Slingshot udner the bottom rope. Arn rakes the eyes and Dustin does the same so they exchange rights. Double clothesline puts both men down. Dustin gets some cheap shots to the face of arn, and follows with a weak lariat for 2. Take not of Barry Windham if you want a good lariat. Rhodesa unloads, Arn goes for the DDT but Rhodes blocks it and drops an elbow for 2. Dustin stunguns him now but a knee drop misses the arm and Arn nails him. Arn sunset flip gets 2 but Rhodes on the comeback rolls Double A up for the win at 9:53. *** Great Match for Dustin Rhodes. Arn DDT's the snot out of him afterwards and beats on his arm some more for fun.

 

-<Mean Gene is with Hulk Hogan, Brother Bruti & Jimmy Hart.

 

-Jim Duggan/Steve Austin video package. Austin was awarded the US Title at Fall Brawl due to Steamboat's injury (which lead to his retirement). So Nick Bockwinkle orderd him to defend against Jim Duggan, who would go on to win the title within 15 seconds of the first contact. So heres ANOTHER Fall Brawl rematch.

 

-WCW-United States Championship Match:

"Hacksaw" Jim Duggan © Vs. "Stunning" Steve Austin:

I just realized Stunning is another word for his WWF finisher, the stunner. For those who think Austin never could wrestle, watch him pre 1997 and before his knees and neck got fucked up. Steve attacks before the bell and unloads some heavy punches and boots on Duggan. Duggan fights back with a clothesline and bodyslam. Austin with more rights and Duggan locks on a sleeperhold. Austin then works the leg and drops a few knees on it. Duggan rolls up Austin for 2 and he retaliates with a eye poke. BUTT Drop misses Duggans leg and a atomic drop sends Austin out. Austin offers a handshake. HAHAHAHA! Austin oddly has "u.s champ" printed on his tights. Duggan with a headlock and a shoulderblock. Austin takes him down and stomps away. 2 double axhandles off the top rope connect. Duggan with a clothesline and he hammers away before a Austin low blow turns the tide. Austin chokes him more and slams him for 2. 2nd rope elbow connects for 2 also. A Splash(!) from the top rope misses and Duggan hammers away, and scores a headbutt and clothesline. Duggan sets up for the the 3 point stance but Austin dumps him over the top rope for the LAME DQ at 8:02. Why wasn't AA DQ'd when he did it to Rhodes? *¼ next.

 

-Mean Gene is with Sting now.

 

-Vader/Guardian Angel recap. Vader beats up GA a lot, so he snaps and beats up Harley Race, the manager.

 

-Guardian Angel Vs. Vader (W/ Harley Race):

Two talented big men, that's odd. Sting is with Ali now, and Vader walks up to him screaming you da man or something. Angel the role model beats up Race from behind. Stall. Finally they lock up and Angel slaps him silly. Vader hammers away with those devestating soupbone punches to the side of the head. clothesline by The Master of the world and Angel is sent packing. Vader gets sent into the guard rail and Angel beats down Race more. Slam to Race. I thought Race was the MANAGER. Vader gets pounded more and he's slammed on top of Race. OUCH. Legdrop between the legs and I realize Vader is unmasked! As usual. Corner charge CONNECTS for once. Vader fihts back but he's nailed with a suplex! Big Boot follows but Vader nails Angel into next year. He goes up top but is slammed off and Angel gets a headbutt for 2. Enziguri by G.A! Clothesline to the floor and Angel with another headbutt. Vader with a slam & clothesline. Vader bomb gets 2! He goes for another but misses and Angel chokes. Spinebuster gets 2 by G.A. Side walk slam! Race inteferes and knocks out Angel with his loaded headbutt and Vader covers for the easy pin at 8:19. **3/4. Great match form 2 big guys.

 

Mean Gene is with Thomas Hearns.

 

-Nasty Boys/Stud Stable feud recap. I hate these 4 so much.

 

-Nasty Boys Vs. Terry Funk & Bunkhouse Buck (w/ Col. Parker & Meng):

This is gonna suck. Sags has a pumpkin with him and Knobbs has Beavis & BUTT-head masks. The Nasties look like them kinda. Brawl starts off and Knobbs creams Funk. Sags slams Buck and Buck & Funk fight each other by mistake. Dumbass's. Funk hammers Knobbs and he retaliates. Sags with an elbow drop and a modified Stinkface. Knobbs with Pitty City follows. FF button is used alot. Skip to end here. Sags piledrivs Funk onto the pumpkin for the win ay 7:57. 1/4*. NEXT PLEASE.

-My wrist is hurting since this is hand written.

 

-WCW-World Championship:Steel Cage: Retirement Match:

Hulk Hogan © (W/ Jimmy Hart) Vs. "Nature Boy" Ric Flair (w/ Sherri):

Mr. T is the special....guest...referee. Ric Flair is the only person with pyro. He weighs in at 234 3/4 pounds. Buffer is announcing so i take note. Hogan weighs in at 268 1/2 pounds. Cage is very low. Only 7 feet (plus the ring). Hogan hammers away and T breaks it up for some reason. Flair gets beat up more but gets his share of offence also. Hogan with a backdrop and clothesline. Flair eats bandana and Hogan with the 10 punches of severe miscomfort. 10 Stomps of Severe Pain and a foot choke. T gets pissy and Flair rakes the eyes. Chop! Hogan rams Flair into the cage and no blood. Back rake and Flair eats more cage. Flair hammers Hogans injured knee and drops some knees on it. T gets pissy again. Hogan eats steel to cheers. Snapmare by Flair and knee drop to the temple. Hogan clothesline and he no sells the injury. Flair eats steel again and is used as a battering ram, then eats a Hulkster shirt. Flair with a TOP ROPE Axhandle. He goes back to working the knee. Stalling Suplex by Flair ala DBS for 2. Tony/Bobby mention the 1975 plane crash. Hogan with some rights and chops. Flair gets posted and Hogan no sells the injury again. He bites Flair but runs into a big boot. Figure 4 blocked with a small package for 2. Knuckle lock and backdrop by Hogan. Flair eats cage several more times and NO BLOOD. Back Suplex by Flair gets 2 and he clamps a headlock. Flair eats more steel and is slammed. Flair with a kneebreaker and knees Hogan's knee. Flair with a figure 4 leglock! Hogan nails T by mistake and let the run ins start. Sherri tries coming in but Jimmy stops her, ripping her dress off in the process, so sher beats him up. Sting pulls her down next, then the BLACK SCORPION comes back for revenge on sting and beats him with a leadpipe. Hogan gets piped as well as Flair & sherri double team him. Flair with some knee drops and a suplex, and its HULK UP TIME! Clotheslines to both Flair & Sherri. Slams all around. Boot to sherri. Boot To Flair. Hogan drags Flair over to T< drops the leg, and Flair is retired at 19:26. ****.

 

-Hogan poses for a while, but the Black scorpion returns. Only he gets killed and Hogan unmasks him and its.....Brutus Beefcake! Shocking. Kevin Sullvian & Earthquake (Avalanche) come out, and they all beat him down. Sting comes back and scares them all away, and its time to send this home.

 

Thumbs Up for a good card. .500 isn't too bad.

[EL DANDY~! 0]

I really hope that **** was on the sliding Hogan scale for his matches, because although it was good, it wasn't four stars when compared to some other matches. One of Hogan's best, without a doubt, but in reality, it was probably ***.

[Guest kingkamala]

Hey NWO Scorpion, if I can I'd like to request a review Great American Bash 95, don't know why I want to see it probably cause nobody's ever done a review for this show, that is if you have it.
