Underwhelmed.

 

The best Wargames I have seen are the 1992 WCW version, the 1991 WCW version, and the 1987 NWA version.

 

Very simply, the match is good at best. With the workers being as limited as they are, they do a good job in playing their roles respectivly. The faces are upbeat and play to the crowd, especially when Onyx comes in and is able to really show some fire. The heels do some nice work too, though they rely way too much on some standard sequences.

 

Cross does the 360 into a leg drop at least twice. Yet before he does his first, he hits a release dragon suplex and a brainbuster which really lead to nothing but being plain spots.

 

The opening five minutes have NOTHING on the 1991 (Windham/Pillman) or 1992 (Windham/Austin) segments in terms of wrestling, heat, or story.

 

The rest of the match has its up's but also suffers it's downs as well. In the 1992 version, the heel beatdowns never get boring as there are so many spots brought to the table by Arn Anderson, Barry Windham, Steve Austin, and Dustin Rhodes that the action stays constantly hot.

 

MOTYC? Not unless *** constitutes a MOTYC.

 

A full review later possibly, though I don't know if I really want to sit through the match again. It was okay the first time around, but the second time around, I fear my head may spin off.

Since I seem to be Mr. Wildside around here, I might as well respond to this.....

 

First off, I thought this was better than the 1987 one, about on par with '91, but right below '92.

 

Tell me how Rave, V., Cross, and Rainman are limited. Please, I'd LOVE to hear this.

 

You wanna know why Cross was doing that? He was working the neck. Jeremy V. had a bad neck for months going into the match, so, like a vulture, Rainman and Cross worked over the neck. Maybe if you watched at least a little of the build-up, you'd know exactly what the hell was going on.

 

Even if it was only *** (which, btw, is retarded, just like the entire star scale), *** is still above-average on the stupid star scale. How would above-average make your head spin off? Geez.
