Uncensored 99 main event

What the hell was up with this match? It's a first blood cage match, and Flair does a huge blade job and is bleeding all over the place, and then beats Hogan by pinfall later on. Was this just a blunder on WCW's part calling it a first blood match? What happened?

Look who the referee was. It was the beginning of Lil Naitch. Though it was poorly executed, Charles Robinson was bending the rules to aid Flair.

 

Flair walked out a heel, and with the belt, while Hogan walked out the cheated champion.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. Dammit, should have caught that. Then Hogan had the whole knee inury thing at Stampede 99, and came back to take the title off Savage later.

 

Thanks!

He beat Nash for the title i think, He beat Savage in 98 after Savage beat Sting

Yeah, that match stopped making sense long before it was over. But on the bright side the show opens with a very good Whipwreck/Kidman match.

No, he beat Savage in '99 too. I know it's pretty easy to get that confused since the title changed hands so many times over that period. It went like this:

 

Spring Stampede '98: Savage wins title from Sting

Next night on Nitro: Hogan wins title from Savage

Nitro, 7/6/98: Goldberg wins title from Hogan

Starrcade '98: Nash wins title from Goldberg

1st Nitro of 1999: Hogan wins title from Nash ("fingerpoke of doom")

Uncensored '99: Flair wins title from Hogan

Spring Stampede '99: DDP wins title from Flair (4-way w/ Sting and Hogan)

Nitro between Spring Stampede and Slamboree: Sting wins title from DDP, DDP wins title back same night in 4-way w/ Nash and Goldberg

Slamboree '99: Nash wins title from DDP

Bash at the Beach '99: Savage wins title from Nash in tag team match (Nash/Sting vs. Savage/Sid)

Next night on Nitro: Hogan wins title from Savage

I still don't get the whole "fingerpoke" storyline, since I wasn't following WCW at the time. Why "in character" would Nash do that, and why "out of character" would they book that?

IC: Nash and Hogan formed the "nWo Elite," which was basically just the original nWo under the Wolfpac colors. Sucked.

 

OOC: To try to get ratings, and to put the belt back on Hogan with Nash losing in the eyes of the fans.

By that time both nWo rosters were probably at their weakest, so they just decided to put them all back together again in that match. It did spark a pretty cool shirt, the original nWo symbol with interchanging red and white lettering.

If I'm not mistaken...that's the only time Flair pinned Hogan.

If I'm not mistaken...that's the only time Flair pinned Hogan.

He pinned him on Nitro in early 1996 with the help of either Woman's or Elizabeth's shoe. For the next 2 weeks, AA would get wins over the Hulkster.
