"Hollywood" Scorpion

[Guest Tony149]

Vader & Paul Orndorff got into a fight backstage. Orndorff supposedly beat up Vader pretty good. Vader was fired before Fall Brawl (I think).

[Guest Drury37]

I never saw that PPV but it sounds better than I thought it would,that was when I began not watching WCW.

Thanks.

[Guest nWoScorpion]

Oh that was the reason Vader was gone like that (snaps finger). Orndorff is tough for a guy that did such a retarded angle.

[Guest nWoScorpion]

This is the first rant i've dne wher ei didnt trash anyone. I try to make it sound good, not boring.

[Guest Drury37]

Yeah when I write rants I try to do the same,some PPVs I didn't like watching the first couple of times I saw them I like better when I do a rant on it.

Thanks.

[Guest RetroRob215]

The show had two great matches, everything else was crap.  I think you rated the main event too high, but whatever.

[Guest Jericholic82]

wow, a good review of this show/  It's cool that you try not to trash it cuz thats too easy.  i guess this started the trend of wcw having good undercard matches and so-so mains.

 

If you have it, try to do Havoc '95 and try not to make fun of WCW lol

[Guest Drury37]

Or try to do WCW Great American Bash 1991 and try not to make fun of WCW with that,I have never seen that PPV but I heard it was possibly the worst wrestling PPV of all time.

Thanks.

[Guest nWoScorpion]

I dont hav HH95, by i got Uncensored 95, now THATS a task to not crack on with a hurricane of jokes (cough) King of the road (cough) the renegade (cough)

[Guest Drury37]

Oh man the King of the Roads thing looked like the dumbest thing I have ever seen before in my life and I liked Dustin Rhodes at the time but it just looked so stupid,good thing I didn't order that PPV.

Thanks.

[Guest MiloMahoney]

Gotta give;em pionts for organialty. I mean it was STUPID but it was diffrent.

[Guest Tony149]

Yeah, gotta give WCW credit for trying something different. Even if it sucked. I haven't seen Uncensored '95 in a long time, but wasn't "The King of the Road" match edited really weird? I've heard it had a shot of the Blacktop Bully without a shirt, then he had it back on again.

[Guest MiloMahoney]

Well  i haven't seen it in about a year but i remember the sky kept changing. First the sun was setting then it was dark then it was light then the sun was setting. Luckly i remember tony actually pionting out that the sun was setting and in the next shot it was day light.  God that show was soo bad. It also had Flair comming out in a dress and the harlem heat/ Nasty Boyz match with mustard and cotton candy used as weapons. Although i will say this they spilled alot of soda on the concrete and Sherri took this nasty bump right on her ass. It was actaully kinda sick. Heenan of corse laughed at her.
