CRZ recaps of those matches:

 

PSYCHOSIS v. DISCO INFERNO (with crazy moire pattern shirt) - whoops, I guess I'm wrong. "I know everybody wants to see me dance, but I have a special ring introduction. This man is one of the hottest young dancers in wrestling today, like myself. [Alex Wright's theme starts] This man is one of the best tag team partners anybody can have, like myself. So here he is, baby!" And out comes TOKYO MAGNUM. Apparently on a previous edition of Saturday Night, Magnum teamed with Disco, and we're all wondering where Alex Wright went - well, no we aren't, but that's the idea. Before this match goes anywhere, SCOTT NORTON comes out and powerbombs both combatants (no contest :22) - then grabs a mic. "I guess you're probably wondering what's going on. Well since I didn't have a match tonight, I made my own. If anybody, and I mean ANYBODY, in the WCW wants a piece of me, bring it on! You see I don't care, and I ain't scared." "Goldberg" chant fires up, but instead we get Goldberg victim #1, HUGH MORRUS, against the protests of Jimmy Hart. It only takes five seconds for Morrus to get HIS powerbomb.

 

 

BRIAN ADAMS (with Vincenzo) v. HACKSAW JIM DUGGAN (with his 2x4 and his American flag) - Say what you want about Duggan, he STILL has that truckload of charisma that will get that "USA" chant going and going loud. What do these two wrestlers have in common? They were both involved in KILLER angles involving each of them getting utterly demolished at the hands of Yokozuna. If you're wondering why I stop bombarding you with trivia and simply reporting on the match, well, that's because this match is BORING and there's about five moves and I feel like demonstrating my incredible ability to dredge up memories of old WWF shows in the hopes of impressing the fine folks who come this way. Let's go to the end where it finally gets interesting. After Duggan's three point stance clothesline, Vincent comes off the top turnbuckle with the 2x4 but misses - Duggan gets the 2x4 and whacks Vincent, but Adams attacks from behind, hits a NASTY piledriver and gets the pin (3:11) and all is right with the world. Tune in next week when Duggan will be back to fighting Meng for the 40th time. No kidding, I found an old Nitro from October 1995 and Duggan was fighting Meng on THAT episode, too. The MasterLock Lock of the Night is a series of replays we didn't really need to see. Say, how many times CAN Tony say "I really don't know what's going on" during a match?

 

 

2 CONTENDER LIZMARK, JR. v. STEVIE RAY for (maybe) the WCW World Television Title - Gene stops Stevie Ray in his tracks asking him what's the deal with the belt and all that. Stevie Ray provides some documents but Okerlund visibly doubts their veracity (go look it up). Funny line from Tony: "You can't fool us!" Just before the inevitable Slapjack finisher, PSYCHO CHAVO WEIRDO KLEPTO comes out wearing Stevie's Harlem Heat gloves and brandishing Stevie's notary stamp - Tony calls him "Psycho Chavo" and I think he stole that from me. Hey, Tony, if you're reading this, how about calling the damn match once in a while! Of course, I haven't done that this week either so I'm just a big hypocrite. Never mind, Tone. Oh, Lizmark Jr. wins by countout after Stevie chases after Chavo. Good for him. (3:09)

Lex Luger def Hollywood Hogan to win the WCW World Heavyweight Title

That makes me want to poke my eye out with a toothpick.

This was actually a pretty good mark-out moment at the time since had held it for nearly a year but Luger dropped it back to Hogan five days later but that was WCW for ya.

 

Recap by G.P. Ryan on the RSPW message board:

 

Lex Luger vs. WCW champion Hulk Hogan

Luger's entrance. --break-- (Wow, Pillman vs. Holly) It's 10:43, and the

bell just rang. Hogan goes to a hammerlock, reversed and he quickly gets to

the ropes. (1:00) Lockup, Luger pushes him down and flexes. Hogan powers him

to the corner and shoves him back and ambles away. (2:00) Hogan kicks him in

the gut and pounds on him in the corner. He chokes him with his boot, then

goes outside and elbows and punches him repeatedly. Whip and clothesline

(3:00) 2 elbowdrops and a stomp. Hogan corner whip and charging clothesline.

Slams and chokes him. Hogan runs Luger into the corner twice, then gets

blocked and Luger rams him 10 times at 4:30. Randy Anderson moves him away

and Hogan decks him. (5:00) --break-- (lasted about 2:30) Hogan decks Luger

gain. He shoulderblocks and covers for 2 at about 8:00. He delivers a

belly-to-back suplex, but Luger's foot is on the rope. Some chops send Luger

down for 2. (9:00) Hogan hits the big boot for 2. (10:00) He slams him and

hits the Legdrop of Doom but Luger kicks out, then evades a second attempt.

Luger hits a clothesline. Hall coems in and gets decked, as are Nash and

Savage. Luger hits a running forearm, tosses Savage over the top, and RACKS

HIM.

WINNER: Lex Luger at 11:25 (new WCW champion) *
