Tex Slazenger/Shanghai Pierce vs. Thunder/Lightning
Interview: Brian Pillman
Shockmaster vs. Mike DiBacco
Steven Regal (WCW TV Champion) vs. Scott Sandlin
Interview: Tex Slazenger/Shanghai Pierce
Max Payne/Cactus Jack vs. Paul Orndorff/Paul Roma
Brian Pillman vs. Denny Brown
I like that Brian still has the Blondes trunks on
Tony and Jesse are our announcers and Jesse really didn’t care at this point and said what he wanted I think
Interesting to see the official with a bandage on his hand
I wonder if this is the same Denny Brown that was a lightweight champion in Georgia Championship wrestling
Wow Tony and Jesse are really knocking JR and talking midget clowns
This match is a little long in the tooth as Pillman shouldn’t be struggling against this guy as much as he is
Finally finishes it off with a flying splash that was not quite super
Interview: Thunder/Lightning
Mike Graham is an all-time great?
Put some paint on that Lightning guy and he would look a lot like Sting...
Boy wrestlers loved to tie those ropes on their arms
Tex Slazenger/Shanghai Pierce vs. Thunder/Lightning
The idea of having these tapings at Disney was interesting. The crowds were always loud which added to some of these matches
I always liked Tex and Shanghai. Liked them in WCW and then again in WWF as the hog farmers and I really thought Southern Justice was a good gimmick for them prior to Shanghai breaking his neck
Lightning later becomes Cobra and then nWo Sting, I don’t know what happened to Thunder. He seemed solid in the ring
A quick search of the googles didn’t give me any info on Thunder
A shocking victory for the Texicans especially considering we had the interview earlier!
Interview: Brian Pillman
Mean Gene is back to talk to Flying Brian
I didn’t really care for the Col. Sanders/Col. Parker storyline.
Shockmaster vs. Mike DiBacco
I think I have said this before but good grief poor Uncle Fred’s music was awful
Shockmaster was in pretty good shape at this point of his career, he always carried his weight well but looked really good. Perhaps it was not being in the singlet
I was just about to say this match was going to long and he locked in that weird bearhug slam for the win
Steven Regal (WCW TV Champion) vs. Scott Sandlin
Here comes the highlight of WCW for several years in my opinion, his Lordship
The fans either hate Regal, the UK or really understood the queue signs they had to cheer or boo.
Regal, much like Jarrett on other shows this week, made you actually think they were going to lose
Regal using the butterfly suplex for the win and as always looked great!
Max Payne/Cactus Jack vs. Paul Orndorff/Paul Roma
Three really good wrestlers and Max Payne
Payne just wasn’t good in the ring here and sadly he handled most of it
I wonder if Cactus was hurt during this time or had a nagging injury
I know people give Roma bullshit about being in the Horsemen, and with good reason, but he was a solid hand and was great for these few years are Pretty Wonderful
Hate the finish and I was glad when they got rid of the over the top rope rule. It was good to occasionally use it but it never made sense to me. Middle rope fine top rope match over.
A basic syndicated show that really had nothing going for it as they hadn’t started the push to their next show, which I believe would be Superbrawl or possibly a Clash. It is fun to listen to Ventura not really care about anything and say what he wanted and I feel like this is when Tony was at his best as well, playing off someone like Jesse or Bobby Heenan. Then came Mark Madden and well if you ever watch a WCW Show with Madden or Stevie Ray or Juvi know you have reached the bad years, much like when Geordi is in a red shirt or Riker without a beard!
