Guest Krazy Karter Report post Posted January 9, 2004 Alright, so if this is true then the trailer is old and it has indeed been changed to "The Rise And Fall Of WCW". That match listing SUCKS. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest drdrainoscott Report post Posted January 9, 2004 I don't believe it, but if its true, I'm buying it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest drdrainoscott Report post Posted January 9, 2004 Actually, no way is it true, for two reasons. First, it says that the list has been floating around for a couple weeks. Well, this is the first any of us have heard of it. Second, no way the WWE, as tasteless as they are, would put the match where Sid breaks his leg on the DVD. They have at least some class.

War Games from 1996 is on the nWo DVD. ...with shitty music dubbed over the entrances so Michael Buffer's voice isn't heard I'm surprised WWE can't use his likeness.

Guest Frank_Nabbit Report post Posted January 9, 2004 War Games 91 was Sid, Flair, Larry Z and Barry W. vs Sting, Pillman,Steiners? Something like that Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Frank_Nabbit Report post Posted January 9, 2004 - Wargames: Sting, Rick Steiner, Scott Steiner & Brian Pillman v. Ric Flair, Sid Vicious, Barry Windham & Larry Zbyszko. Larry is replacing Arn Anderson, who was injured shortly before this. Pillman and Windham start out. Pillman has got a big-ass shoulder tapejob. Windham goes for the Wargames bladejob record by gushing two minutes into the first period. Steve Austin would shatter the record the year after by tapping an artery about 30 seconds in. The cage is so short that Pillman can barely stand on the top rope, something which would come into play later in the match. Pillman is absolutely beating the living hell out of Windham for 5 minutes straight here. Kudos to Windham for selling like a champ. Flair is next in (I think the coin toss is rigged) and Pillman gets the beats put on him. Flair offers a groin thrust to Sting. The Horsemen are just tossing Pillman around the ring at will. Sting makes the save and goes bananas on Flair to a mega-pop. Flair pairs off with Sting and they do their usual match. Larry Z is in next and Sting takes him out with ease. Flair cheats and the Horsemen pound on Sting for a bit and then take care of Pillman. Rick Steiner cleans house for the faces to another hot reaction. Flair joins the bleeding pool. The Horsemen are mercilessly hammering Pillman's shoulder. Sting bleeds. Sid Vicious just pounds the hell out of everything that moves when he gets in. Flair gets rubbed into the cage about 5 times. Rick keeps getting rammed to the cage but no-sells every time. There's big red blotch all over the cage from Flair's head. Big Poppa Pump is last in for the faces. Sid Vicious calls a spot with Rick Steiner while on camera. Vicious rams Pillman into the turnbuckle shoulder-first a few times and then rips off the tape. The faces all get figure-fours on the Horsemen in a very a cool moment. The faces continue the assualt on everyone but Sid Vicious, who won't go down. Vicious takes out Sting and the Steiners, leaving Pillman to take on the Horsemen. Then Sid takes over on Pillman. In the ugliest moment in Wargames history, Sid powerbombs Pillman, hitting his head on the top of the cage and nearly breaking his neck legit, and then he picks up the half-dead Pillman and does it again. Pillman is temporarily paralyzed and El Gigante improvises by running in from the dressing room and throwing in the towel. The crowd is in shock at the sudden ending. Still, an easy ***** match.

Kahran Ramsus 0 Report post Posted January 9, 2004 On one hand, it would be interesting to hear rants of those matches. On the other, I wouldn't be buying it. Even the Wargames isn't as good as the 1992 version. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hopefully WCW's strong midcard will get mentioned somewhere on the damn thing. Like I predicted it earlier, 5% of the DVD will be the rise (good), and 95% will be the fall (sucked). So maybe we'll get a few brief clips of Midcarders and Cruiserweights while Nash and Hogan are featured. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BUTT 0 Report post Posted January 9, 2004 It wasn't Russo/Nash when Russo won the title, it was Russo/Booker. Booker had won the title the week before from Nash. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Askewniverse Report post Posted January 9, 2004 (edited) -Sting vs. Hogan from Starcade 1997 -**** Cool Unless you're a Hogan fan, there wasn't anything cool about this match. In what should have been the blowoff to the whole NWO angle, Hogan pinned Sting...CLEAN. Then, Bret Hart restarts the match due to the supposed "fast count" by Nick Patrick. This match made Sting (who was the top face) look weak. Edited January 9, 2004 by Askewniverse Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It is cool in the "train wreck" sense Especially since that began the construction of WCW's casket Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kahran Ramsus 0 Report post Posted January 9, 2004 They should make it the 1998 Wargames instead and change Sting vs. Vader to the Sting/Vader Mini-Movie. Then I just wait for Dames to review it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bored 0 Report post Posted January 9, 2004 Ummm if part of the point of the DVD is to show why WCW went to shit then they HAVE to show the Hogan/Sting match and the Finger Poke of Doom. Seriously you couldn't talk about the fall of WCW without those two matches. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Placebo Effect 0 Report post Posted January 9, 2004 -Nash vs. Hogan "FINGER POKE OF DEATH" match from Nitro. No explanation needed. WHY?!! -DDP & Davd Arquette vs. Eric Bischoff & Jeff Jarrett from Thunder. Ugh ugh ugh. -Vince Russo 'versus' Kevin Nash where Russo wins the title. UGH WTF?!! Depending on what the title actually is, Death of WCW, Fall of WCW. Throwing Benoit/Guerrero, Rey/Dragon, and Malenko/Guerrero wouldn't make much sense. I'm totally digging the idea these matches. I loved WCW, and the shit they put on was very entertaining at the same time in my mind. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
